Ekona Power

Ekona is a Vancouver-based breakthrough energy technology company established to exceed the paradigms of hydrogen production. With a commitment to address global climate change, We are developing new technology that transforms how we utilize hydrocarbon resources for delivering low carbon-intensity hydrogen.

Ekona’s technology will have a significant and positive impact in a world trying to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Our products target industrial hydrogen and natural gas decarbonization markets. We also seek to leverage new markets for byproduct carbon that will further enhance the environmental and economic benefits of our solution. Together, our diverse and seasoned team is devoted to attain the goals of a clean energy future.

Ekona is developing a revolutionary and innovative methane pyrolysis platform to produce industrial-scale hydrogen that is both low-cost and clean.

Steam methane reforming, the current industry standard for industrial hydrogen production, generates substantial greenhouse gases (GHG), which are costly to mitigate. New approaches for green hydrogen using electrolysis from renewable electricity are attractive for their ultra-low emissions, but they are energy-intensive and expensive.

Our patent-pending pulsed methane pyrolysis (PMP) solution converts natural gas into hydrogen and solid carbon, virtually eliminating CO2 emissions. The pyrolysis reactor uses the principles of pulse-combustion and high-speed gas dynamics to dissociate feedstock methane. This unique solution is low-cost, scalable and solves carbon fouling issues that plague other pyrolysis platforms for hydrogen production.

Ekona’s PMP solution produces hydrogen at costs on par with incumbent SMRs, while reducing GHG emissions by more than 90%.
