The bridge to our low CO₂ future has methane pyrolysis at its core. This innovative process has the potential to revolutionize the way we generate heat and power. Methane pyrolysis is the thermal degradation of methane under high temperatures without oxygen. When optimized for emissions minimization, this process offers us a unique opportunity to produce clean and economic energy on a massive scale.
Methane pyrolysis produces solid carbon that can either be disposed of naturally without affecting atmospheric CO2 or used as a raw material in industries like asphalt, medical devices, aerospace composite materials, and concrete.
So, not only can methane pyrolysis generate hydrogen that can help us prevent greenhouse gas emissions, but it can also offset some of the emissions associated with public works projects. Our ultra-low emission approach to pyrolysis delivers solid carbon with a low CO₂ rating. This means less virgin asphalt material used, less embodied emissions, and longer life products for a more sustainable built environment.
With companies like Modern Hydrogen leading the way, methane pyrolysis is poised to play an indispensable role in the future of clean energy.

Sharrow Marine Earns Clean Technology Award
Sharrow Marine, the industry leader in innovative marine propeller technology, has announced that the Sharrow Propeller™ has been named a “Clean Technology Transportation Solution of the Year” in the inaugural CleanTech Breakthrough Awards program. This recognition reaffirms Sharrow Marine’s commitment to revolutionizing propeller technology and advancing sustainability in transportation.
“Even small efficiency gains make a significant difference for consumers and the impacts on marine life,” said Bryan Vaughn, Managing Director of CleanTech Breakthrough Awards. “The dramatically reduced fuel consumption and environmental impact are compelling and crucial aspects of this technology for boats and beyond.”
Vaughn said, “The Sharrow Propeller is a groundbreaking leap in propeller technology, addressing long-standing inefficiencies in traditional designs. Designing and building sustainable technology within the maritime industry is essential for reducing environmental impact and protecting our oceans and waterways.
The Sharrow Propeller is recognized as the first major advancement in propeller technology since the 1830s, with a patented design that eliminates or significantly reduces tip cavitation and vortices. Rigorous third-party testing and the endorsement of thousands of satisfied customers attest to its remarkable benefits.
The Sharrow Propeller offers up to an 80% reduction in noise, according to the company, a smoother and more reliable boating experience, and up to 30% improvement in fuel efficiency compared to standard propellers. These advantages enhance the boating experience and significantly reduce each boat's carbon footprint and impact on marine life.
"Receiving the Clean Technology Transportation Solution of the Year award underscores the Sharrow Propeller’s transformative impact in promoting sustainability and efficiency," said Greg Sharrow, Founder and CEO of Sharrow Engineering and Sharrow Marine and inventor of the Sharrow™ Propeller. "This honor is a testament to our dedication to advancing environmentally friendly solutions that contribute to a more sustainable future and leave the world better than we found it."
