Their primary product, hydrogen, aims to meet the increasing global demand as a clean energy source, particularly in refining and ammonia synthesis, with potential applications in electricity generation, process heat, and transportation. The company’s hydrogen production pilot plant, operational since 2024 in Texas, has the capability of producing several hundred kilograms of hydrogen and up to 1,000 kg of solid carbon daily. Their upcoming commercial hydrogen production facility, scheduled for completion later in the decade, is designed to generate up to 10,000 metric tons of hydrogen annually.Graphitic Energy generates revenue through the sale of clean hydrogen and solid carbon to industrial clients.
