Hycamite TCD Technologies Ltd is a Finnish technology company focused on producing low-emission hydrogen and solid carbon materials via methane pyrolysis. The company is based in Kokkola, Finland, and develops proprietary thermo-catalytic decomposition (TCD) processes designed for decentralized, modular hydrogen production.
Hycamite’s process splits methane—sourced from natural gas, biomethane, or synthetic methane—into hydrogen and solid carbon without generating carbon dioxide at the point of conversion. The solid carbon fraction can be tailored into products such as carbon black and other advanced carbons for use in batteries, polymers, rubber, and composite applications. The hydrogen output is intended for industrial energy, chemical synthesis, and mobility uses, with overall life-cycle emissions dependent on the chosen feedstock and energy supply.
The company operates pilot-scale facilities and is progressing toward industrial deployment with units suited to co-location at sites with methane availability. Hycamite’s approach contributes to the “turquoise hydrogen” segment, offering an alternative pathway to hydrogen and carbon materials within the chemical and materials value chains.
Officials toured Hycamite's facility, learning about its methane-splitting tech for low-carbon hydrogen and graphite, supporting EU supply-chain goals and reducing import dependency.
