NW Natural and Hycamite sign letter of intent

Within NW Natural's service territory, large natural gas customers could develop facilities that use Hycamite's novel methane-splitting technology to deliver low-carbon (turquoise) hydrogen to supplement or replace natural gas usage. Hycamite would install, commission, operate and maintain the methane pyrolysis units, while NW Natural would deliver the natural gas feedstock used to produce hydrogen.

"We want to help a variety of industrial customers to decarbonise their production cost-efficiently, and we are ready to scale up the production in North America swiftly," said Hycamite CEO, Laura Rahikka. "We look forward to working with NW Natural to develop opportunities with the utility and its largest natural gas customers."

Low carbon fuels such as clean hydrogen play an essential role in NW Natural's long-term decarbonisation plans. "We are excited about the potential to lower emissions with clean hydrogen, and we look forward to exploring opportunities for Hycamite's technology to help deliver carbon reductions for us and our customers," said Chris Kroeker, NW Natural's Business Development Lead for hydrogen and carbon capture.
