Monolith

Monolith is a U.S.-based materials and technology company focused on strengthening domestic manufacturing and energy resiliency. It produces carbon black, a critical raw material used to reinforce tires, protect electronics, color consumer products, and support military, transportation, infrastructure, automotive, and advanced industrial applications. Monolith also produces hydrogen and steam as co-products, which are used for energy production.

The company developed a patented thermal plasma hydrocarbon pyrolysis process and says it is the only company in the world operating this technology at commercial scale. By electrifying carbon black production, Monolith aims to provide high-quality material while improving resource efficiency. Its process is designed to reduce emissions and conserve water and land compared with traditional carbon black production, while supporting a more resilient U.S. supply.

Monolith’s carbon black is already used in millions of tires and plastic products. The company is headquartered in Lincoln, Nebraska, and presents its technology as a platform that can be deployed globally to support manufacturing and energy needs.
