Methane pyrolysis – Climate-friendly hydrogen for chemistry

By the year 2030, we want to reduce our emissions by 25% compared to 2018 and are committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. This will not be possible without innovative chemistry. Hydrogen is an important and key element that will be essential in helping make chemistry climate-neutral.

BASF relies on different technologies to produce hydrogen, with the technology selected depending on the situation, site and availability of renewable electricity. This also includes methane pyrolysis. The project is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) (funding code 03SF0571A).
