What services do we provide?
Hycarb delivers three core services: engineering studies, industrial innovation, and consulting. We support all project phases, from FEL-1 and pre-FEED to FEED. As a partner, Hycarb supplies turnkey units for clean hydrogen and premium carbon, with continuous innovation and a wide range of consulting in engineering, decarbonization, and sustainability.
Which consulting services does Hycarb provide?
We advise on decarbonization, technology integration, industrial R&D, and regulatory compliance, while supporting access to public funding and licensing documentation.
What sets us apart?
Our low-temperature methane-splitting technology produces high-value graphitic carbon and works with biomethane or raw biogas. This combines sustainability with cost efficiency and flexibility for varied feedstocks.
What are the benefits of choosing Hycarb?
Clients gain a skilled team with expertise in engineering and sustainability, backed by University of Porto research and strategic partnerships. Our motivated team values collaboration, ensuring clients stay at the forefront of clean hydrogen innovation.
Which industries do we serve?
We serve industries needing stable small- to medium-scale hydrogen: steel, transport, chemicals, pharma, advanced fuels, glass, ceramics, and more.
How can I customize my Hycarb unit?
Hycarb units are modular yet highly customizable. Layouts, feedstocks, and auxiliaries can be optimized from the start. Reactor specs are tailored to each client’s gas composition.
What are the main steps before acquiring one unit?
We provide pre-FEED and FEED studies to guide informed decisions, plus consulting on decarbonization and integration to maximize technical, environmental, and economic performance.
What do I need to prepare for installing a Hycarb unit?
Units are compact, easy to install, and license. Clients only need space and access to feed gas, electricity, and water.
How can I valorize the solid carbon from a Hycarb unit?
Through strategic partnerships, Hycarb ensures that high-value graphitic carbon reaches critical markets and industries, including defense, aerospace, advanced coatings, and optoelectronics.
How can I generate carbon credits with Hycarb technology?
Replacing grey hydrogen qualifies for mitigation credits; permanent carbon sequestration enables high-value removal credits.
