Hydrogen producer Hycamite introduces low-carbon footprint graphite for EV batteries


Finland-based Hycamite has launched graphite production using its emissions-free methane-splitting technology.

Hycamite says its technology provides low-carbon hydrogen and sustainable carbon products for industrial applications by decomposing large volumes of methane into hydrogen and carbon while avoiding the release of greenhouse gases (GHGs) into the atmosphere. The company’s catalysts are recyclable and can be produced from industrial side streams.

Hycamite can tailor its high-value carbon products to customer needs and produce them industrially in large quantities by using the range of its catalyst families and changing process parameters.

“Hycamite’s graphite can be used in electric vehicle batteries. It’s suitable for direct use or further refinement based on the individual battery manufacturer’s needs,” said Niina Grönqvist, Hycamite’s VP of Carbon Products.

Hycamite is building its new Customer Sample Facility in Kokkola, Finland. The facility is intended to demonstrate the viability of the methane-splitting technology. Once completed, it will have a nominal annual capacity of 2,000 tons of hydrogen and 6,000 tons of carbon.
