Here, we demonstrated the Regenerative Catalytic Pyrolysis (ReCaP) process that generates carbon dioxide-free hydrogen (CO2-free H2) from inexpensive and domestically abundant natural gas (NG), while simultaneously producing H2 at net production cost of $1.0/kg through the sale of valuable carbon nanotube (CNT) co-product. The specific goal of this project is to 1) scale up the production of CNT, 2) correlate the properties of the CNT with the reaction conditions, 3) perform a techno-economic analysis to obtain minimum selling price of H2 and CNT, and 4) identify industrial partners interested in the CNT co-product.
