​
“Hycamite is delighted to announce our membership in the USHA. Hycamite is fully committed to catering to the needs of our clients in The United States, and this partnership marks an exhilarating new chapter. The remarkable advantages of methane splitting have been proven successful, and we are ready to meet the surging demands of the dynamic American industry.”
About Hycamite
Hycamite produces clean hydrogen and industrial-quality solid carbon by splitting methane using proprietary zero-emission technology. It is based on the thermo-catalytic decomposition (TCD) of methane molecules — in other words, we break the methane with our catalyst and heat.
The novel methane pyrolysis technology requires only 13% of the energy needed to produce hydrogen using electrolysis. Hycamite’s technology enables the production of low-carbon or even carbon-negative hydrogen. Hydrogen can be produced from biomethane, methane from natural gas, or synthetic methane.
As a cutting-edge carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) technology, Hycamite’s solution enables the creation of carbon sinks, providing clients with industrial-quality carbon fit for demanding applications, such as Li-ion batteries, composite materials and filter purifiers. Hycamite’s production is environmentally friendly. There are no emissions into the atmosphere and the catalysts used are sustainable. Hycamite is a privately owned company headquartered in Kokkola, Finland.

“There is no price tag on what USHA has done for us. We have not felt this support with any other organization so far. The value is not only in introductions to relevant actors and states but also with the members. It's also about the care, the personalized care, and attention to our needs.”
