NW Natural and Modern Hydrogen: Decarbonizing Methane to Accelerate the Clean Energy Transition

Please join the Northwest Gas Association for our monthly webinar, featuring the innovative methane pyrolysis technology pioneered by Modern Hydrogen and currently in use at NW Natural’s Central Portland facility. This technology produces clean hydrogen and captures solid carbon from geologic and biogenic methane, which can then be used in applications such as paving and road repair projects.   

The three-year pilot project is the latest initiative by a Pacific Northwest natural gas utility to explore potential hydrogen production and applications. By leveraging the existing natural gas infrastructure and deploying this advanced technology with the expertise of our current workforce, the project aims to demonstrate how gas utilities can reduce emissions on behalf of their customers, provide practical and actionable solutions to meet the growing demand for sustainable energy, and inclusively accelerate the energy transition. This transformative effort helps address current environmental challenges and sets the stage for a cleaner and more sustainable future.
