GasPlas AS

Groundbreaking Technology & Innovation

GasPlas AS has developed a groundbreaking new cold plasma technology for production of hydrogen from bio- or natural gas. This technology enables a truly clean hydrogen transport system with no CO2 emissions from well to wheel. Effective distribution of H2 can now be achieved using existing universal natural gas networks and generating hydrogen on-demand at point of use. Carbon can be collected as powder and used as a high valued product (Carbon Capture and Use — CCU) and expensive CO2 capture technology is not needed (Carbon Capture and Storage — CCS).

What is plasma? And why do we use microwaves? Plasma is the fourth state of matter and is by far the most common one in the universe both by mass and volume. Its properties are quite different from solids, liquids and gases. For plasma to exist, ionization is necessary. The degree of ionization of plasma is the proportion of atoms or molecule, which have lost (or gained) electrons. Since plasma is highly conductive, magnetism and electrical free electrons will affect it. By using microwaves the bonding between electrons and molecules in hydrocarbon gasses will loosen. We can therefore separate hydrogen gas and carbon powder.

Summary of GasPlas Technology
