CarbonLume is a clean-tech materials company commercializing a patented, light-driven methane conversion platform that turns waste and vented methane into high-value carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and clean hydrogen in a single step. This platform is designed to be deployed on-site at oil and gas and other methane-intensive operations, where modular reactors convert stranded or flared methane into saleable CNTs for batteries, electronics, and lightweight composites, alongside zero-emissions hydrogen that can be used locally or sold into the growing clean hydrogen market. By operating at significantly lower energy intensity than steam methane reforming and conventional CNT processes, CarbonLume targets CNT production at roughly 15% of typical costs, unlocking attractive margins while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enabling customers to monetize both product sales and carbon credits. Backed by a granted U.S. patent on its photocatalytic process and more than five years of R&D progress from lab to modular demonstrator, the company is advancing toward pilot-scale, multi‑kilogram‑per‑day production and build‑own‑operate deployments with industrial and strategic partners
