Systematic advancement through Technology Readiness Levels from laboratory validation to full field-pilot readiness.
MATi has successfully advanced from TRL 4 (laboratory validation) to TRL 6 (pilot-ready engineering) — the critical gateway to industrial deployment.
Proof of concept for both methane pyrolysis and CO₂ decomposition pathways using small-scale reactors at 10 sccm flow rate.
Scale-up to 1,000 sccm (100× increase) with full catalyst optimization and performance validation at scale.
Complete detailed engineering designs, energy/mass balance analysis, cost estimates, and economic validation for 1,000 m³/day pilot deployment.
Field deployment of 1,000 m³/day methane pilot and 1 tonne/day CO₂ pilot with 12–18 months of extended operation and data collection.
A structured, milestone-driven path from pilot demonstration to early commercial deployment over three years.
Finalize pilot engineering, secure field test site, fabricate equipment, and commission systems for both pathways.
Conduct extended field trials, validate performance and reliability, optimize operational parameters, and collect techno-economic data.
Scale to first commercial units, establish supply chain partnerships, deploy with early adopter customers, and build market presence.
Five major milestones completed for both CH₄ and CO₂ pathways, establishing full pilot readiness.
Throughput increased from 10 to 1,000 sccm with stable high-temperature operation for both CH₄ and CO₂ reactors.
Sn-Cu-Ga-Bi alloy (CH₄) and Ga-In alloy (CO₂) validated, enabling higher conversion at lower temperatures.
85% CH₄ conversion and >90% CO₂ conversion achieved at 1,000 sccm throughput in scaled-up reactor.
Detailed engineering designs, energy/mass balances, and process flow diagrams completed for both pilot units.
CAPEX, OPEX, revenue projections, and ROI analysis completed. Both pathways show ~2-year payback periods.
MATi is seeking field demonstration partners to advance to TRL 7. Join us in making clean hydrogen a reality.
