Hypersonic Technologies is turning methane into hydrogen and carbon black
Hydrogen is expected to play a larger role in helping industries cut emissions, but conventional production methods can leave a significant carbon footprint. Chennai-based Hypersonic Technologies is working on an alternative that produces hydrogen alongside carbon black, a commercially useful material used in tyres, rubber and pigments.

Founded in 2023 by Jayaraman Kandasamy and Jayakumar Venkatesan, the climate-tech startup uses staged-plasma pyrolysis to convert methane and biomethane into hydrogen and solid carbon. By producing two materials through one process, it aims to help industrial customers offset production costs while reducing emissions.
Kandasamy has more than a decade of experience in Europe, where he worked on plasma technology for aerospace propulsion and explored converting biomass into fuel and hydrogen-rich gases. After returning to India, he founded Hypersonic Technologies…
