Aurora Hydrogen joins Hydrogen BC as new start-up member
October 18, 2021
VANCOUVER – Hydrogen BC (HyBC) is pleased to announce that Aurora Hydrogen has joined as a Start-up Member.
Aurora Hydrogen is developing a technology that uses efficient microwave energy to heat natural gas in the absence of oxygen and water (pyrolysis) to produce hydrogen and solid carbon while avoiding the generation of CO2. The technology is highly scalable and modular; units can be installed anywhere there is natural gas and electricity.
Hydrogen production using Aurora’s technology has the potential to reduce global CO2 emissions by over 500 million tonnes per year.
