H2SITE Revolutionizes Green Hydrogen with Ammonia Cracker in Birmingham
Key Ideas
- H2SITE's ammonia cracker at Tyseley Energy Park will produce 200 kg of green hydrogen daily for mobility applications in Birmingham.
- The innovative technology allows for efficient ammonia cracking and selective separation of hydrogen without downstream units, achieving over 98% hydrogen recovery.
- The Ammogen Project, in partnership with various organizations, aims to advance international hydrogen trade with the use of ammonia as a hydrogen carrier.
H2SITE has developed a groundbreaking ammonia cracker utilizing membrane reactor technology to produce fuel cell-grade hydrogen at Tyseley Energy Park in Birmingham. This project is a significant step in leveraging ammonia as a key carrier for transporting hydrogen efficiently. The system is designed to produce 200 kg of green hydrogen daily, meeting the standards for mobility applications in the region. H2SITE's technology integrates H2-selective membranes within a catalytic bed to crack ammonia into its products, enabling on-site separation of hydrogen without the need for additional separation units. The process achieves high hydrogen recovery rates and ensures fuel-cell grade hydrogen output. With plans to scale up production in the coming years, H2SITE aims to expand the use of this innovative technology in import hubs and maritime applications. The collaborative Ammogen Project, involving partners like Tyseley Energy Park, DESNZ, Gemserv, EQUANS, Yara International, and the University of Birmingham, is focused on promoting international hydrogen trade. This initiative underscores the potential of ammonia as a versatile medium for hydrogen storage and transportation, marking a significant advancement in the green energy sector.
