Abstract: The present invention provides a method of converting a hydrocarbon into H2 and a carbon material comprising substantially no CO2, whereby the H2 is used by a fuel cell to generate electrical energy and the carbon material is collected. The method includes heating a hydrocarbon and a catalyst in a reactor to form H2 and a carbon material comprising substantially no CO2. A fuel cell is operated to generate electrical energy and heat using the H2 formed in the reactor. The step of heating is repeated using the heat generated in the fuel cell. The present invention also provides a system for converting a hydrocarbon into H2 and a carbon material comprising substantially no CO2, whereby the H2 is used by a fuel cell to generate electrical energy and the carbon material is collected.
