Workshop Technician

Suiso is a new business that has developed a new technology to decarbonise the usage of natural gas. Suiso’s containerised processing systems will convert hydrocarbons into Hydrogen and solid Carbon allowing for existing gas consumers to reduce their emissions at the point of use. Our goal is to accelerate customers on their journey to manage their emissions from fossil fuels with a practical and cost effective technology. The Hydrogen that Suiso produces is poised to become a major fuel in the energy 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 through its 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.
