Peoples NatGas & Pittsburgh Startup Demo Tech Converting CH4 to H2

Natural gas utility Peoples Natural Gas (headquartered in Pittsburgh) is working with Pittsburgh startup company H Quest and the University of Pittsburgh’s Swanson School of Engineering to test new technology from H Quest that microwaves natural gas (CH4), turning it into clean hydrogen (H2) and carbon black. No carbon dioxide (CO2) is released in the process. The H Quest tech is housed in what looks like a tractor-trailer container unit that is powerful enough to "decarbonize more than 1,000 residential households in one go."
