AFC, HiiROC partner on natural gas for zero-emission hydrogen fuel.

In the UK, AFC Energy has entered into a binding Heads of Agreement deal with HiiROC Ltd, whose plasma-based technology has proven its ability to extract hydrogen from methane and biomethane – readily available from incumbent gas networks – without CO 2 or other greenhouse gas emissions. The 'green' hydrogen produced using this technique could in turn fuel AFC's H-Power™ alkaline fuel cell systems, thereby opening up methane as a candidate carrier of green hydrogen for low-cost power generation.
