The company uses a process called methane pyrolysis to break apart natural gas molecules into carbon and hydrogen by heating them without exposure to oxygen. [3] The carbon created by the process is converted into carbon black, and Monolith is building a plant where the hydrogen gas will be converted to ammonia using the Haber-Bosch process. [4]
The majority of CO 2 emissions come from coal-fired power plants or coal-to-chemical processes (e.g. the production of synthetic ammonia, methanol, fertilizer, natural gas, and CTLs). [23] According to the IEA , around 385 out of China's 900 gigawatts of coal-fired power capacity are near locations suitable for CCS. [ 24 ]
