Description
Ekona Power is partnering with ARC Resources to deploy a one-tonne-per-day clean hydrogen plant at ARC’s Gold Creek Natural Gas Plant in Grande Prairie, Alberta.
The project involves Ekona’s methane pyrolysis solution for clean hydrogen production, which can reduce the carbon intensity of natural gas operations. At the core of Ekona’s solution is the xCaliber™ reactor, which uses pulsed combustion and high-speed gas dynamics to convert natural gas into hydrogen and solid carbon.
Ekona’s clean hydrogen production plants operate without the need for water, renewable electricity, or CO2-sequestration infrastructure to mitigate emissions, and can be deployed wherever natural gas infrastructure exists.
The plant is scheduled to be built in 2024, commissioned and tested in 2025, and operated for commercial evaluation in 2026 and beyond.
