70% of the high-temperature heat used in industry – metallurgy, glassmaking, heavy chemicals – cannot be electrified and remains entirely dependent on fossil fuels. Green hydrogen exists, but its cost, four times higher than natural gas, hinders widespread adoption. The result: entire sectors of the economy are facing a decarbonization deadlock. Spark Cleantech has developed a patented methane plasmalysis process that dissociates CH₄ without emitting CO₂, simultaneously producing low-carbon hydrogen competitive with natural gas, and a solid carbon that can be valorized in polymers, coatings, or batteries. This technology doesn't ask industry to change everything – it transforms what they already consume.
The next step
Spark Cleantech is entering the scaling-up phase: commissioning a first standard commercial unit, converting expressions of interest into multi-year contracts, and structuring the production tool to launch the first industrial series. This is the pivotal moment when proven technology becomes an industrial enterprise.
Why 21st by CentraleSupélec?
Scaling an energy deeptech requires both capital and rare expertise in industrial scaling. 21st by CentraleSupélec supported Spark Cleantech on both these fronts: structuring and preparing its fundraising, and benefiting from practical industrialization support — to transform a patented process into an operational production line.
