"You have acquired shares in the British company HiiROC in Hull, which splits methane in a high-temperature plasma. The methane gas is heated by electrical energy, so that the bonds between the atoms and even between atomic nuclei and electrons break. A mixture of hydrogen and carbon nuclei is created. How the British manage to separate these from one another is a trade secret."
"So far, the process has only worked in the laboratory. The German participation should now make the construction of a test facility possible. In terms of energy, the British say they are way ahead of the pack compared to the production of hydrogen by electrolysis. Their process uses 87 percent less energy, they say."
"“For our ambitious climate goals and the success of the hydrogen strategy, it is not decisive whether the hydrogen comes from natural gas or from renewables. The decisive factor is that it is produced in a climate-neutral manner, ”said Mario Mehren, CEO of Wintershall Dea, at an SPD economic forum last year. Hydrogen, produced by electrolysis using wind and solar power, is by no means competitive. The HiiROC process could be a real “game changer” when it comes to the production costs of hydrogen, according to Matthias Tischner and Andreas Päts, managing directors of VNG Innovation GmbH."
"Greenpeace and other environmental organizations, but also the Federal Environment Ministry led by the SPD, on the other hand, cannot make friends with blue hydrogen. They argue that it will never be possible to permanently remove the separated carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. During pyrolysis, however, the carbon is not obtained in gaseous form, but as a solid. It can be safely disposed of - should more of it arise than the industry can recycle."
