Developing a Self-decarbonizing Combustor to Reduce CO2 Emissions

Summary: “Given the urgency to respond to climate change, it is imperative to find swift solutions for mitigating CO2 emissions from fossil fuels used in power and propulsion applications. A potential solution lies in decarbonizing fossil fuels through methane pyrolysis. We aim to conduct a comprehensive analysis of a novel thermo-catalytic reactor to efficiently perform pyrolysis of methane. Thereby, we can achieve in-situ hydrogen production and carbon capture.”
