# 2025 Hydrogen Carbon Light |
|
Hydrogen Carbon Light is a modular system that uses solar or LED-driven photothermal energy to decompose methane into two high-value products: clean hydrogen and solid carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Operating without external power or fossil-fuel inputs, the system avoids CO₂ emissions entirely by converting methane into stable solid carbon. Its reactor design enables efficient thermal decomposition at controlled temperatures, supporting continuous operation and on-site production of hydrogen fuel and CNTs for applications in energy storage, electronics, and structural materials
Abdelaziz Gouda, Ph.D., is a materials scientist and entrepreneur with over a decade of experience in green materials and sustainable technologies. He is the cofounder and CEO of HyC Light, a University of Toronto spin-off pioneering light-driven methane conversion into clean hydrogen and carbon nanotubes. His work bridges research and commercialization, advancing scalable climate solutions. Recognized by leading cleantech accelerators and VentureRadar as a top 20 innovative university spin-off, Abdelaziz continues to drive innovation at the intersection of science, technology, and entrepreneurship.more
