H2SITE Secures EIC Accelerator Funding to Deploy a Flagship 1 TPD Ammonia Cracker Using Membrane Reactor Technology at a Port in North-West Europe
Ammonia Cracker using Membrane Reactor Technology
The H2SITE Team
H2SITE Membrane Reactor Technology
·Lowest Levelized Cost of Hydrogen (LCOH) from ammonia due to high efficiency and integrated operation
·Reduced energy consumption, operating at significantly lower temperatures (400-450 °C) than traditional cracking methods (typically 600-800 °C)
·High-purity hydrogen output, compliant with ISO 14687 Grade D, suitable for direct use in fuel cells and industrial applications
·Compact and modular design, facilitating decentralized hydrogen production close to demand centers
The ammonia cracking system will serve as a demonstration plant, aiming to validate the commercial and operational readiness of H2SITE’s integrated membrane reactor approach at an industrially relevant scale, with the goal of advancing the decarbonization of hard-to-abate sectors.
“This project represents an important milestone for the development of our technology. It enables the next steps toward commercializing our units for industrial sectors, energy hubs (such as ports and large-scale distribution centers), and onboard maritime applications,” said Andres Galnares, CEO of H2SITE.
As the hydrogen economy develops, efficient solutions for transporting low-carbon hydrogen are essential. Ammonia is a promising hydrogen carrier due to its high volumetric energy density and existing infrastructure, and more than 20 million tons of ammonia are transported by ship every year. Advances in ammonia cracking technology such as H2SITE’s integrated membrane reactor will be an enabler to making this pathway competitive, enabling large-scale, flexible hydrogen supply chains.
About H2SITE
H2SITE, founded in 2020, is a technology company specializing in the on-site production and separation of high-purity hydrogen. The company utilizes exclusive palladium-alloy membrane reactor technology to efficiently convert various feedstocks including ammonia, methanol, and syngas into hydrogen. Additionally, H2SITE enables the separation of hydrogen from low-concentration gaseous mixtures for applications such as salt caverns or geologic hydrogen. By decentralizing hydrogen production through innovative ammonia cracking and separation solutions, H2SITE addresses the challenges of cost-effective hydrogen transportation and storage, significantly reducing associated costs and emissions.
