Revolutionizing Heating with Hydrogen: A Partnership for Cleaner Energy
Key Ideas
- HYTING and ebm-papst have partnered to develop hydrogen-fuelled heat generators using a catalytic process.
- The system produces heat directly from hydrogen and oxygen without combustion, reducing emissions to only water.
- The modular system has a wide range of outputs and is set to undergo customer trials in Germany by early 2025.
- ebm-papst will utilize its expertise to accelerate the market launch of HYTING's innovative heat generator portfolio.
Global air and heating technology firm ebm-papst has forged a partnership with HYTING, a start-up specializing in hydrogen heating systems. HYTING has created a forced-air heating system at the prototype stage, utilizing a catalytic process to produce heat from hydrogen and oxygen without combustion, resulting in water as the sole by-product and eliminating NOx and particulate emissions. The system, with outputs between 10 to 300 kW, is suitable for various applications in residential and commercial buildings and vehicles. Scheduled customer trials in Germany in early 2025 will test the system's efficiency and practicality. ebm-papst aims to leverage its resources to expedite the development and market entry of HYTING's heat generators, manufacturing them at its facilities and incorporating its certified gas products for hydrogen admixture. The partnership signifies a commitment to advancing clean energy solutions and optimizing heating technology. Tim Hannig, the Founder of HYTING, expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration, highlighting the acceleration and risk reduction it brings to their market timeline. Dr. Hannes Säubert, CEO of Heating Technology at ebm-papst, also commended the innovative approach of HYTING and emphasized the joint research and development efforts in heating technology as a strategic move for both companies.
