H2SITE Revolutionizes Ammonia Cracking for Green Hydrogen Production
Key Ideas
  • H2SITE's innovative ammonia cracker at Tyseley Energy Park in Birmingham will produce 200 kg of green hydrogen daily for mobility applications.
  • The technology achieves over 98% hydrogen recovery, allowing for virtually complete ammonia conversions at mild temperatures, meeting fuel-cell grade standards.
  • Collaboration with partners like Tyseley Energy Park and the University of Birmingham aims to promote international hydrogen trade.
H2SITE has developed an efficient ammonia cracker using membrane reactor technology to produce fuel cell-grade hydrogen at the Ammogen Project in Birmingham's Tyseley Energy Park. This project is a significant milestone in utilizing ammonia as a carrier to store and transport hydrogen globally. The system designed by H2SITE will generate 200 kg of green hydrogen per day, ready for use in mobility applications in the Birmingham area. The ammonia cracking and separation technology involves H2-selective membranes integrated into a catalytic bed, enabling the one-step conversion of ammonia to hydrogen. H2SITE's membrane reactors ensure selective separation of hydrogen, eliminating the need for additional separation units and achieving high hydrogen recovery rates. Technical Director Jose Medrano envisions scaling up the technology for larger-scale applications in the coming years. The collaboration with partners such as Tyseley Energy Park, DESNZ, Gemserv, EQUANS, Yara International, and the University of Birmingham underscores a joint effort to advance the international hydrogen trade. H2SITE's exclusive technology positions it as a key player in converting various feedstocks into hydrogen and separating hydrogen for different applications, including in salt caverns or geologic hydrogen storage.
