One of ACS' initial applications is the production of hydrogen from methane with a process that produces no direct carbon dioxide emissions, is less expensive than current technologies, is scalable, and uses low levels of energy with no water consumption. The dissociation of methane (CH4) into hydrogen also produces valuable commercial carbon products such as graphite and graphene.

ACS technology is built on the principle of non-equilibrium plasma, which utilizes neutral ionized gas created within a plasma field to initiate chemical reactions. This innovative technology can break molecular bonds, transforming greenhouse gases and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into their valuable constituent elemental products.
