...According to several studies (Gautier et al., 2017; Keipi et al., 2016, 2018; Parkinson et al., 2017b; Weger et al., 2017), the cost of producing low-carbon hydrogen from natural gas could be further reduced by the use of pyrolysis as a conversion technology....

...However, current market prices for carbon black range between $400 and $2000/t (Keipi et al., 2016), providing an indication why pyrolysis plants that are already in operation today have focused primarily on the production of carbon black (Monolith Materials, 2019)....

TL;DR: In this paper, a special report, prepared by Working Group III of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, provides information for policymakers, scientists and engineers in the field of climate change and reduction of CO2 emissions.
Abstract: This special report, prepared by Working Group III of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, provides information for policymakers, scientists and engineers in the field of climate change and reduction of CO2 emissions. It describes sources, capture, transport, and storage of CO2. It also discusses the costs, economic potential, and societal issues of the technology, including public perception and regulatory aspects. Storage options evaluated include geological storage, ocean storage, and mineral carbonation. Notably, the report places CO2 capture and storage in the context of other climate change mitigation options, such as fuel switch, energy efficiency, renewables and nuclear energy. This report shows that the potential of CO2 capture and storage is considerable, and the costs for mitigating climate change can be decreased compared to strategies where only other climate change mitigation options are considered. The importance of future capture and storage of CO2 for mitigating climate change will depend on a number of factors, including financial incentives provided for deployment, and whether the risks of storage can be successfully managed. The volume includes a summary for policymakers approved by governments represented in the IPCC, and a technical summary. The full special report (only in English) as well as the summary for policymakers (in Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish) can be downloaded from the Web site: www.ipcc.ch/activity/srccs/index.htm.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore novel approaches to solving energy and environmental problems associated with the production of hydrogen from fossil fuels, and propose a scenario of fossil-based "hydrogen-carbon" infrastructure, where the hydrogen component of natural gas is used as a clean energy carrier (e.g., in transportation) and the carbon component is used in several application areas: structural materials, power generation, soil amendment and environmental remediation.
