H Quest Vanguard
Office Hours Company
H Quest is decarbonizing natural gas at the point of use: carbon is extracted as a valuable solid product liberating a stream of clean hydrogen fuel. We pioneered a methane pyrolysis process powered by microwave plasma that thermally cracks natural gas into clean hydrogen and valuable carbon materials with zero emissions.
The technology enables a modular, scalable system with a modest form factor (1 ton per day of hydrogen in a 40' CONEX container) that can be deployed directly at customer premises. With 4x lower energy requirement of water electrolysis, H Quest’s process is poised to provide lowest-price clean hydrogen wherever natural gas is available, while eliminating the costs and hazards of hydrogen delivery.
H Quest’s pilot demonstrated operation with pipeline natural gas. In negotiations are: manufacturing agreement with O&G service company, JDA with specialty carbon producer, and customer contract with West coast utility.
