Charged Conversations - Mothusi Pahl and methane pyrolysis
Friday, 14 February, 2025

In this episode of Charged Conversations, host Brigham McCown delves into the potential of hydrogen as a key player in the clean energy transition. Brigham interviews Mothusi Pahl, Vice President of Business Development and Government Affairs at Modern Hydrogen. They discuss the company's focus on decentralized (or distributed) hydrogen production through methane pyrolysis. This process, which cracks natural gas into hydrogen and solid carbon, offers economic and environmental benefits, including enhanced asphalt production and reduced CO2 footprints for industrial operators. Mothusi Pahl emphasizes leveraging existing natural gas infrastructure to make energy more economical and reduce dependency on the electrical grid. The conversation also touches on responsible natural gas production and the importance of decarbonizing natural gas to meet commercial and industrial needs. The episode highlights the alignment of this technology with national security, economic benefits, and environmental goals.
