Controls Engineer in Dollar

Who are we?

Suiso is a new business that has developed an exciting methane pyrolysis technology that will transform the production, distribution and usage of Hydrogen, accelerating its adoption as a replacement for fossil fuels and becoming a key contributor in the fight against climate change.

Hydrogen is poised to become a multitrillion-dollar market and Suiso’s patented technology promises to produce the lowest cost hydrogen from natural or bio-gas with almost zero CO2 emissions and actually reduce CO2 emissions by producing a green solid Carbon co-product to replace the billions of tons of virgin Carbon consumed each year.

Suiso will offer a range of modular production systems to the heating and transport sectors for the onsite generation of Hydrogen and will become a key enabler of the low Carbon Hydrogen economy which is essential to stopping further climate change.
