Last week, our safety flare unit was installed on-site at our Customer Sample Facility (CSF). The mandatory safety flare unit is a crucial part of the plant’s comprehensive modern safety and automation systems. These include an extensive sensor network, enhanced ventilation systems, and ATEX areas. Ensuring safety at our facilities is paramount, as it not only protects our employees and the surrounding community but also safeguards the environment. Our safety flare utilizes hydrogen for the pilot flames, which is beneficial as it eliminates carbon dioxide emissions. By implementing these advanced safety measures, we are dedicated to preventing accidents and minimizing risks associated with hydrogen production. #hycamite #safety #customersamplefacility #timelapse #hydrogenproduction #carbon

Hycamite produces clean hydrogen and solid carbon by splitting methane using proprietary zero-emission technology.
About us
Hycamite produces clean hydrogen and industrial-quality solid carbon by splitting methane using proprietary zero-emission technology. It is based on the thermo-catalytic decomposition (TCD) of methane molecules — in other words, we break the methane with our catalyst and heat. The novel methane pyrolysis technology requires only 13% of the energy needed to produce hydrogen using electrolysis. Hycamite’s technology enables the production of low-carbon or even carbon-negative hydrogen. Hydrogen can be produced from biomethane, methane from natural gas, or synthetic methane. As a cutting-edge carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) technology, Hycamite’s solution enables the creation of carbon sinks, providing clients with industrial-quality carbon fit for demanding applications, such as Li-ion batteries, composite materials and filter purifiers. Hycamite’s production is environmentally friendly. There are no emissions into the atmosphere and the catalysts used are sustainable. Hycamite is a privately owned company headquartered in Kokkola, Finland.

Today, I had the opportunity to visit Finnish deep tech startup Hycamite at the Kokkola Industrial Park and tour its new Customer Sample Facility, which will officially open on 5 September. Hycamite’s proprietary and zero-emission methane-splitting technology produces low-carbon hydrogen and high value carbon. Sky’s the limit for Hycamite, seriously! It was a pleasure to be interviewed, together with Matti Malkamäki, Founder and VP of Business Development at Hycamite, about promoting Finnish startups in the U.S. and why Americans should take note of Finnish cleantech companies like Hycamite. Thank you Sonja Vermeulen for the great questions! Hycamite is also a great example of a startup with not one but two female founders, CEO Laura Rahikka and Vice President of Carbon Products Niina Grönqvist. It was wonderful to meet the both of you, as well as Marko Huiskonen, Vice President and General Counsel. Thank you also Jyri Jokinen, Plant Director, for the tour. Last but not least, it was wonderful to meet again with Kokkola’s #1 American Carolina M. Ahlstrand, Hycamite’s Business Development Director! Looking forward to working with all of you in the future. Welcome Matti to New York next month to the investor event hosted by Tesi and Consulate General of Finland in New York!

A lower carbon footprint for graphite production? Check. Hycamite has a proof of concept, and we’re already working to make our graphite even better. Read Niina Grönqvist’s article about where we are with graphite – and where we’re headed. #hycamite #highvaluecarbon #graphite #lowercarbonfootprint #decarbonizingindustry
Synthetic graphite with a very low carbon footprint? It’s possible!
