- Catalytic decomposition of natural gas has received much attention in recent years as an efficient method to produce hydrogen and valuable carbon by-products. This research investigates large-scale manufacture of the Ni-based catalysts essential for this process through the development and optimisation of a unique integrated thermochemical approach to synthesis. This allows a step change in a catalyst synthesis technology by shortening of the catalyst production route. Discussions are underway with Centrica to exploit this technology commercially. They have recently agreed significant capital investment to support research to take this work to the implementation stage. (Adam.Beardmore@centrica-sl.co.uk
