ColdSpark® is a groundbreaking plasma technology for decarbonised hydrogen and valuable solid carbon production, which initial development was initiated and supported under the Horizon Europe programme. As the project nears completion and anticipation builds around its final results, the technology is set to spin off into an independent company as planned from the very beginning, ensuring the continued development and successful commercialisation beyond the end of the project.
SEID AS, the ColdSpark® project coordinator and technology owner, has officially announced this strategic move to accelerate commercialisation and scale up hydrogen and eCarbon® production.
The ColdSpark® Concept: Smart, Efficient, and CO₂-Free
ColdSpark® revolutionises hydrogen production with a non-thermal plasma process that exploits the weak bonds between methane atoms. This enables an exceptionally efficient separation of hydrogen and carbon without producing direct CO₂ emissions. As a result, the technology eliminates the need for costly carbon capture and storage (CCS).
At the same time, ColdSpark® generates high-value solid carbon materials (eCarbon®), suitable for use in various industrial applications and high-tech sectors.
ColdSpark® has already been funded €2.5 million under EU Horizon Europe programme for its initial development phase and has submitted a follow-up proposal to further advance the technology. To bring ColdSpark® to market, the spin-off is actively raising €4.3 million in investment.
Why is ColdSpark® a good investment opportunity?
- Zero-CO₂ Hydrogen Production
ColdSpark® fully aligns with climate goals by producing clean hydrogen without emitting CO₂, making it a valuable alternative to traditional hydrogen production methods.
Our vision is a future driven by clean technologies. We are developing an innovative solution with high potential and impact.
- Full Resource Utilisation
Originally developed as a hydrogen production technology, ColdSpark® also produces eCarbon®, a high-purity solid carbon with growing demand across various industries.
- Seamless Infrastructure Integration
Designed for real-world application from its very start, ColdSpark® can be deployed using existing natural gas infrastructure, enabling flexible and cost-efficient hydrogen production at the point of use.
A Game-Changer for the Energy Transition
The spin-off positions ColdSpark® for rapid scaling and industrial partnerships. With a lean and agile approach and a deep understanding of the continuously evolving hydrogen and carbon markets, ColdSpark® is on track to achieve commercial readiness within the next two to three years.
A new era of producing clean hydrogen and valuable carbon has already begun.
