ZEG Power offers game-changing hydrogen production with CO₂ capture
- Published 24 October 2022; updated 30 September 2026; estimated reading time 2 minutes. Marked available; listed under Hydrogen / Conversion/technology, Energy and CCUS.
- ZEG Power’s dual-reactor process uses a solid sorbent to combine gas reforming and CO₂ separation. It is designed to produce high-purity hydrogen from natural gas or biogas and a separate high-purity CO₂ stream that could be stored or used in industry. This is hydrogen from a carbon-containing feedstock with capture, not renewable electrolysis hydrogen.
- The company says integrating capture into the reforming unit reduces process steps, energy use and cost compared with conventional separate capture processes. The page gives no capture rate, lifecycle-emissions figure, energy penalty or independent comparative analysis.
- ZEG’s pilot plant is described as having demonstrated feasibility. The article says it raised capital to build a first industrial-scale plant at CCB Energy Park, with a planned output of 30 kg H₂ per hour near Northern Lights CO₂ storage, and planned to scale to 600 kg/hour. The stated expectation that production could start as early as 2022 is outdated; the page does not confirm current construction or operating status.
- The process is described as potentially integrable with fuel cells or turbines for electricity production. Market context cites an IEA estimate of a USD 115 billion global hydrogen market in 2017 and subsequent growth expectations; this is historical.
- Linked to SDGs 7, 9 and 12.
