Green Hydrogen via Chemical Looping: Unlocking Ultra-Pure Hydrogen and Carbon Capture Through Steam-Iron Loop

Our vision centers on a closed-loop, zero-emission Chemical Looping Hydrogen (CLH) ecosystem. By utilizing an engineered, structurally stabilized Zerovalent Iron (Fe°) catalyst matrix, we can decouple hydrogen production from carbon emissions.

We transform industrial carbon monoxide (CO) waste into a powerful reducing agent, yielding two high-value streams simultaneously: fuel-cell-grade green hydrogen (H2) and a pure, easily sequeastered stream of carbon dioxide (CO2).

🚀 Strategic Vision Pillars

1. Disruption in Hydrogen Purity (The Oxidation Phase)

Traditional hydrogen production (like Steam Methane Reforming) requires massive, capital-intensive Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) units to scrub out carbon monoxide poisoning.

CLH Edge: Because water-splitting reaction happens in a separate, isolated phase using only iron and steam, the resulting hydrogen is inherently CO-free and inherently pure.

The Impact: Immediate compatibility with proton-exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells for heavy transport and aerospace without downstream purification penalties.

2. Turning Liability into Asset (The Regeneration Phase)

Industrial off-gases (from steel mills, gasifiers, and chemical plants) are rich in toxic carbon monoxide (CO). We view this not as a pollutant, but as the chemical battery to reset our loop.

CLH Edge: The CO strips oxygen from our spent ferrite oxides, regenerating the active zerovalent metal (Fe°).

The Impact: The byproduct of this regeneration is a highly concentrated, un-diluted stream of CO2. This bypasses the expensive nitrogen-separation step required in conventional carbon capture, making CLH process inherently carbon-capture ready.

📈 Market & Environmental Impact

Decarbonizing Hard-to-Abate Sectors: Directly integrates into existing steelmaking, refining, and chemical manufacturing infrastructures to recycle waste gas into green fuel.

True Circular Economy: Leverages abundantly available, non-toxic, and inexpensive iron rather than scarce, expensive precious metals (like Platinum or Iridium used in traditional electrolyzers).

Negative Emissions Potential: When paired with biogenic syngas (Bio-CO), this loop transitions from carbon-neutral to net-negative carbon emissions, actively removing CO2 from the atmosphere.
