BASF announced it is developing a new hydrogen production process which eliminates CO2 emissions. The technology involves using a methane pyrolysis approach to divide natural gas into carbon and H2, with the solid carbon then able to be used in the production of metals such as steel or aluminium. In addition to its own proprietary technology, BASF’s plant will also use an existing facility at the University of California, Berkeley, for research purposes.

BASF, which has reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by 50% since 1990, aims to achieve CO2-neutral growth up to 2030.
