The joint development agreement includes plans to construct a demonstration plant aimed at commercial readiness.

According to Mike Zamora, President of ExxonMobil Technology and Engineering Company: “Methane pyrolysis holds real potential, especially in regions where traditional carbon capture and storage solutions are less viable.”

ExxonMobil brings decades of deep technical knowledge in methane pyrolysis and a shared commitment to innovation.

Meanwhile, BASF has been developing methane pyrolysis technology over the past several years in a project funded by the German Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR).
