Detailed Engineering Design of a Pre-Commercial Natural Gas Pyrolysis Plant for Low-Emission Hydrogen Production

Lead Proponent

VulcanX Energy Corp

Project Objectives

The objective of this project is to complete a Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) and a partial Detailed Engineering Design (DED) for a pre-commercial hydrogen production plant based on natural gas pyrolysis technology.

Expected Results

This project aims to:

1. Support the development of low-carbon hydrogen to help Canada achieve its climate targets.
2. Advance technology that is cost-competitive with steam methane reforming and does not require water input or low-cost, low-emissions electricity to deliver low-carbon hydrogen.
3. Enable sectors such as agriculture, aviation, and steel to meet climate goals while remaining competitive through access to cost-competitive low-carbon hydrogen.
