We Are Catalysts for Innovation
Hydrogen Production Through Catalytic Water Gasification
​Dark Matter Materials’ advanced catalysts are designed to overcome the limitations of conventional industrial processes. Our nanocatalysts disrupt the traditional methods of water gas shift reactions, hydrogen and ammonia production, as well as plastics recycling and reforming. We offer industry a sustainable future with new technologies, products and systems by greatly reducing the high temperatures required for many chemical reactions to occur.
​
Our nanocatalysts consist of long-lasting, sustainable, non-noble metals that replace platinum group metals thus reducing the cost to industrial users. Our innovation replaces century-old activities into energy efficient, low greenhouse gas emissions processes to create value-added chemicals eliminating the need for carbon capture and storage.

We’re Integration Ready
Our catalysts are designed to integrate with existing hydrogen and polymer-processing infrastructure, reducing engineering requirements and speeding deployment. Supported by advanced lab facilities and certified testing protocols, we help shorten evaluation timelines so you can pilot and scale our breakthrough technologies faster.
Electrolysis Eliminated
Up to 30% of resulting energy is lost to the electricity required to make green hydrogen. This is why it can take 50 kWh to produce just 1 kg of Hâ‚‚. Without the need for electrolysis, our catalyst technology requires only a small amount of low-grade heat, resulting in only a fraction of energy inputs compared to traditional production methods.
Fresh Water Not Needed
The 2030 hydrogen demand predicted by the International Energy Agency would require 21 billion cubic meters of freshwater.* Our catalyst does not require freshwater. In fact, almost any water will react with it with no need for additional treatment processes.
Strategically Placed Production and Delivery
The value and mass adoption of hydrogen as a fuel source are dependent upon its ability to be available anywhere it's needed at low cost.
Today, just 15% of hydrogen's total costs are allocated to production. The remaining 85% is attributed to station infrastructure, storage and delivery.**
We eliminate much of these high non-production costs because our process is mobile enough to be placed on-site at any location where hydrogen can be used for vehicle, commercial, industrial or agricultural use.
