Hyamtec: Revolutionizing Industrial Decarbonisation Through Ammonia Cracking Technology
Key Ideas
  • Hyamtec's innovative technology can produce on-site, on-demand hydrogen at a fraction of the cost of conventional methods, aiming to displace natural gas in heavy industrial sectors.
  • The company targets a £40 billion market in the UK, focusing on providing hydrogen-rich gas for industrial heat, ammonia conversion for power generation, and modular hydrogen production for various applications.
  • By 2030, up to 20% of global hydrogen production is expected to be green, with green hydrogen plants playing a major role in decarbonising industry.
  • Hyamtec's approach of converting ammonia to hydrogen on-site offers a cost-effective and efficient solution for industrial decarbonisation, supporting the global transition to net zero emissions.
Hyamtec, a new hydrogen company in the UK established by AFC Energy plc, is introducing cutting-edge modular ammonia cracking technology to produce hydrogen on-site at a significantly lower cost compared to traditional methods. The company's primary focus is on displacing natural gas in heavy industrial sectors, aiming to address 50% of global carbon emissions attributed to these areas. Hyamtec will cater to a £40 billion market in the UK by providing hydrogen-rich gas for industrial heat decarbonisation, converting ammonia for power generation in various industries, and producing purified hydrogen for fuel cells and transportation needs. The company recognizes hydrogen as a key element in decarbonising heavy industry, with a shift towards green hydrogen plants expected to lead the way in new capacity by 2030. Despite challenges in hydrogen storage and transportation, especially over long distances, Hyamtec's technology offers a promising solution by converting ammonia back to hydrogen on-site efficiently and cost-effectively. Dr. Mike Rendall, the Managing Director, emphasizes the significant opportunity for displacing fossil fuels with ammonia and highlights the critical role of hydrogen-based technologies in achieving global decarbonisation goals.
