Gas decarbonisation study at Sheffield
The pilot-project pyrolysis technology can be integrated with existing natural gas supplies to cut carbon emissions.

The University of Sheffield has partnered with local startup Suiso on a three-month pilot study to demonstrate its gas decarbonisation technology.
The project, at the University’s Energy Innovation Centre (EIC), will research and develop Suiso’s pyrolysis technology, which removes carbon from commonly-used fuels – natural gas, LPG, propane and biogas – before they are burned, with the potential to reduce or ultimately eliminate their CO2 emissions.
During the trial, Suiso will remove CO2 from natural gas blends in the form of a solid carbon powder, which has the potential to be used in water treatment, air purification and batteries.
Researchers will then compare how the EIC’s pilot-scale furnace performs with this zero-carbon fuel compared to conventional gas.
The University’s Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) will also collaborate on this work, providing support and industrially representative casting items for testing.
