8 Rivers launches 'game-changing' hydrogen production process
Technology could produce ultra-low carbon hydrogen from natural gas at less than $1/kg, US firm tells Hydrogen Economist
North Carolina–based low-carbon technology company 8 Rivers Capital has unveiled a breakthrough methane-based hydrogen production process which captures 99pc of its CO₂ emissions and could achieve production costs of less than $1/kg in the US market. The technology, called 8RH2, uses natural gas and pure oxygen, utilising the CO₂ produced in the combustion process as a heat transfer medium in a proprietary reformer before sequestering the CO₂. The process eliminates the need for amine or cryogenic-based CO₂ separation processes, lowering costs to levels “unrivalled” in the market, the company says. ”We are excited to collaborate with partners and stakeholders to deploy the 8RH2 techno
