H2SITE has been selected for the European Innovation Council (EIC) Accelerator program to implement a groundbreaking project focused on deploying an innovative ammonia cracking unit. This unit is designed to produce 1 ton of high-purity hydrogen per day using H2SITE’s proprietary palladium-based membrane reactor technology. The technology offers numerous advantages over traditional processes, including a low Levelized Cost of Hydrogen (LCOH) from ammonia, reduced energy consumption operating at lower temperatures, high-purity hydrogen output suitable for various applications, and a compact modular design for decentralized production. This project aims to demonstrate the commercial and operational readiness of H2SITE's technology at an industrially relevant scale, with the primary goal of advancing decarbonization efforts in challenging sectors. Andreas Galnares, CEO of H2SITE, highlighted the significance of this project in paving the way for commercializing their units across industrial sectors, energy hubs, and maritime applications. As the hydrogen economy evolves, efficient methods of transporting low-carbon hydrogen become crucial. Ammonia, with its high energy density and existing infrastructure for transportation, emerges as a promising hydrogen carrier. The advancement in technologies like H2SITE's integrated membrane reactor for ammonia cracking will play a vital role in making this pathway competitive, thereby facilitating large-scale and flexible hydrogen supply chains.
