Molten Industries

Molten Industries is a clean energy technology company that produces graphite and hydrogen from natural gas through an innovative methane pyrolysis process. The company splits natural gas into hydrogen and solid graphite using electrical resistive heating, creating two valuable products without CO2 emissions. The US-made graphite directly integrates into the lithium-ion battery anode supply chain, reducing environmental impact and cost while addressing critical supply chain dependencies for battery manufacturers. The hydrogen production technology delivers hydrogen at cost parity with conventional methods, serving heavy industry decarbonization needs. By co-producing graphite and hydrogen, Molten Industries offers a dual-revenue model that improves economics while advancing materials, chemicals, and fuels through innovative technology. The company's approach addresses both the growing demand for battery-grade graphite and the need for clean hydrogen in industrial applications. Founded in 2021 and headquartered in Oakland, California, Molten Industries has raised $25.0M in Series A funding from investors including Breakthrough Energy, Sozo Ventures, Steelhead Capital Management, Union Square Ventures, Fifty Years, J4.Ventures, Moai Capital, UVC Partners, and OSTI.
