Stranded natural gas, primarily methane, often remains untapped in locations where it is not economically viable to transport. Through innovative technology and shared expertise, Double Zero Holdings and SJ Environmental plan to turn this challenge into opportunity. By transforming stranded natural gas into blue hydrogen, the partnership mitigates methane and CO2 emissions while producing hydrogen — a clean fuel that could revolutionise multiple industries.
Blue hydrogen is created by reforming natural gas and capturing the resulting carbon dioxide emissions. The approach employed by Double Zero Holdings and SJ Environmental utilises existing technologies that can be reduced to the size of a standard shipping container. This setup ensures 100% of the CO2 released at the well site is captured and safely stored, preventing atmospheric release.
"We're thrilled to partner with SJ Environmental to tackle one of the most pressing environmental issues today," said Raja Ramachandran, Managing Partner of Double Zero Holdings. "This collaboration allows us to turn stranded natural gas — a significant environmental liability — into a valuable resource, supporting the global shift toward cleaner energy."
Producing blue hydrogen is critical for the energy transition, offering a low-carbon alternative to fossil fuels in transportation, manufacturing, and power generation. By converting otherwise wasted natural gas into hydrogen, the partnership contributes to global net-zero carbon goals.
SJ Environmental Director, John Chappell, added: "Our collaboration with Double Zero Holdings reflects our commitment to innovative, sustainable solutions. Together, we're setting a new standard for energy production, delivering hydrogen and food-grade CO2 where natural gas would typically be flared."
