Innovative Technology Modern Hydrogen’s core innovation lies in its ability to decarbonize natural gas while producing clean hydrogen and industrial-grade solid carbon. This method extracts concentrated carbon from natural gas before it is burned, ensuring that it never reaches the stage of becoming CO2.

The report, commissioned by MCS Charitable Foundation, projects that hydrogen would cost 70-90% more than gas on average. The authors of the report conclude that hydrogen will be a much more expensive heating fuel than natural gas and thus it would be better to prioritise other technologies to decarbonise domestic heating, like heat pumps.
