What we do
Rapid decarbonization across industries with proven and scalable solutions
Hycamite offers proprietary catalytic technology that turns natural gas and biomethane into low-carbon hydrogen and customisable, high-value carbon products in a single process. These products include graphite, a critical material for battery and defence applications.
Methane splitting enables industrial plants to decarbonize in stages while increasing the local supply of critical carbon materials. The hydrogen serves power generation, data centres and heavy industry. Graphitic carbon and carbon nanofibre are used in battery production, electronics, and electrically conductive materials.
Hycamite supplies modular methane-splitting technology for customers’ power plants and industrial sites. Customers can use existing natural gas infrastructure and expand production by adding modules.
The European Commission has recognized Hycamite’s graphite production as a Strategic Project under the EU Critical Raw Materials Act. The project supports European graphite production and reduces dependence on imports from outside the EU.
Solutions & Technology
Carbon
Graphite and carbon nanofibre for batteries, tires, concrete, and steel. Enabling domestic supply.
Technology
Methane is split, not burned. The reaction forms hydrogen and solid carbon, not COâ‚‚.

Projects
From Kokkola to industrial scale
The Hycamite Decomposition Plant, formerly the Customer Sample Facility (CSF), validates the methane splitting technology and customer applications at industrial scale in Kokkola. The planned Hycamite Carbon Refinery (HCR) advances carbon processing towards commercial scale as part of Hycamite’s EU Critical Raw Materials Act Strategic Project. Customer plants use modular technology at sites connected to existing gas infrastructure.
