Why MATi?

A New Paradigm for Carbon Conversion

From university lab to pilot-ready technology — MATi delivers proven performance with compelling economics.

Proven at Scale

Successfully scaled from lab to pilot-ready with 100× throughput increase, validated at 1,000 sccm with consistent performance.

Dual Pathway Technology

Two complementary processes — methane pyrolysis and CO₂ decomposition — enabling flexible deployment across industries.

Strong Economics

~2-year payback period with 43.4% ROI. Annual revenue potential of $950,500 for the methane pathway alone.

Pilot-Ready Now

Complete detailed engineering designs and cost estimates ready for field deployment at 1,000 m³/day scale.

Technology

Two Pathways, One Platform

MATi's molten alloy reactors enable direct carbon conversion using electrically-powered, catalytic processes.

CH₄ Pathway

Methane Pyrolysis

CH₄ → C + 2H₂

A 1,000 m3/d unit directly converts methane into clean hydrogen fuel and high-value carbon black, powered entirely by electricity with zero CO₂ emissions.

  • Conversion Rate85%
  • Operating Temp960°C
  • H₂ Output164.4 kg/day
  • Carbon Output492.9 kg/day

CO₂ Pathway

CO₂ Decomposition

CO₂ → C + O₂

Decompose CO₂ into solid carbon and oxygen using Ga-In molten alloy catalysts — enabling permanent carbon removal at lower temperatures.

  • Conversion Rate>90%
  • Stable Operation480 hours
  • Pilot Capacity1 t CO₂/day
  • CAPEX$962K
