Modern Electron targets heating sector with pyrolysis technology
Proprietary turquoise hydrogen technology to launch in early 2023, Seattle-based company says
A startup in Seattle has developed novel technology to create ‘behind the meter’ turquoise hydrogen for commercial and residential buildings.

The company’s ‘Modern Electron Reserve’ uses a technique called methane pyrolysis to split natural gas into hydrogen and graphite. The hydrogen is then burned in a furnace, with almost no CO₂ emissions, and converted to heat and energy. The solid carbon can be disposed of in landfill or collected for reuse in such products as tyres or asphalt, says Modern Electron. “Our hydrogen technology is
