Mote has developed a billion-ton carbon removal solution that produces clean hydrogen, fueling a new era in domestic energy production.

Our technology and plant economics have been validated or funded by industry leaders.


Mote's technology uses proven components in a proprietary design.

Born from ground-breaking research at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory that culminated in the award-winning report Getting to Neutral, Mote’s design is built on a novel approach to turning woody waste biomass into hydrogen and permanently storable CO2.  

Mote’s international patents improve upon existing designs by increasing efficiency, including a 10% increase in H2 production, a 9% improvement in throughput process integrations that cut carbon losses by half.

Our design can be used in critical forestry management, agricultural waste management, redundant off-grid energy support with fuel cells, and in zero-emissions hydrogen fueling applications.

Mote's technology displaces emissions from field burning and landfilling, helping to reduce wildfire risk. We also enable zero-emissions heavy duty trucks and equipment, replacing diesel fuel with pure biohydrogen.

Mote’s integrated team is expert in energy, gasification, H2 fueling, project construction and CCS.
