## About

Based in Maryland, US, Etch Inc operates as a clean technology company that converts natural gas into hydrogen and solid carbon for decarbonization. The company was Co-founded by Johan Erlebacher (CTO), and John Fini. In October 2022, ETCH, INC. raised USD 7.5 million in seed funding led by Emerald Development Managers.

The firm offers a decarbonizing technology that eliminates carbon dioxide emissions, generates hydrogen, and creates usable, clean solid carbon. The process converts methane which is a natural gas into solid carbon and hydrogen. The hydrogen produced has no carbon dioxide emissions. This process could be into existing natural gas power plants.

The company plans to use the October 2022 funding to begin its market operation.
