VulcanX is not your typical startup. We spun out from MéridaLabs at the University of British Columbia with a de-risked pilot plant. It all started in 2017 when we met with international partners to discuss methane pyrolysis. Since then, we have developed new systems that can produce hydrogen and solid carbon more efficiently and at a low cost.
We secured non-dilutive funding to de-risk and scale up the technology and build a pilot plant in Alberta, Canada.
VulcanX Energy Corp. was incorporated in October 2022. We are securing funding and investment to scale production to at least 1 tonne of hydrogen production per day by 2026.
