  • Located in Tyseley Energy Park (Birmingham, UK), the Ammogen project stands as the most efficient ammonia conversion to fuel-cell purity hydrogen.
  • H2SITE has designed and constructed the most efficient cracker utilizing membrane reactor technology to provide 200 kg per day of high-quality, transport-grade hydrogen.

BIRMINGHAM, United Kingdom--BUSINESS WIRE--

H2SITE has designed and constructed the most efficient ammonia cracker utilizing membrane reactor technology to produce fuel cell-grade hydrogen for the Ammogen Project located at Tyseley Energy Park (TEP). This innovative project will use ammonia to store hydrogen and convert it to hydrogen in one step. Ammonia is becoming the carrier of choice worldwide to transport hydrogen.

The system designed and assembled by H2SITE will produce 200 kg of green hydrogen per day. The hydrogen produced will be ready for mobility applications in the Birmingham area.
H2SITE's ammonia cracking and separation technology consists of the integration of H2-selective membranes immersed in a catalytic bed where ammonia is cracked into its products. As the reaction produces hydrogen, the technology separates the hydrogen in-situ through these membranes, eliminating the need for downstream separation units. The selective separation of hydrogen in H2SITE's membrane reactors results in virtually complete ammonia conversions at mild temperatures, with over 98% hydrogen recovery, always meeting fuel-cell grade standards.

"This project is a steppingstone for us, as it validates the technology of the membrane reactor for ammonia cracking. We plan to scale it up to process tons per day within the next two years for use in import hubs and maritime applications" according to Jose Medrano, Technical Director at H2SITE.

In collaboration with partners such as the Tyseley Energy Park (TEP), Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ), Gemserv (Talan), EQUANS, Yara International, and the University of Birmingham, the Ammogen project aims to promote the international hydrogen trade.

About H2SITE H2SITE was created in 2020 and has an exclusive technology of reactors and separators for the conversion of different feedstocks into hydrogen, including ammonia, methanol, or syngas, in addition to the separation of hydrogen from gaseous mixtures in low concentration for applications in salt caverns or geologic hydrogen.

Talent alert: Hunter locals speak out on nuclear risks as political inquiry comes to town

Friday, December 6 A political hearing in Muswellbrook next week will hear from Hunter Valley locals on their opposition to building nuclear reactors in the region. The federal Parliament’s select committee on nuclear energy is looking into a scheme from the Coalition to build nuclear reactors at sites around the country, including in the Hunter. Local doctors, former coal workers, workers’ advocates and others advocating for the Hunter’s renewable power future are speaking out against the scheme. They say the community wants investment in safe and reliable renewable power, not risky nuclear reactors in the region. They are concerned about…

The seven ways the Federal Coalition could cook the books on nuclear costings

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE5 DECEMBER 2024 AUSTRALIANS ARE BEING KEPT IN THE DARKabout the true costs of the Federal Coalition’s risky and expensive nuclear scheme. The Federal Coalition's heavy reliance on the first of two Frontier Economics reports paints a damning picture of the methods they may use to fudge the nuclear numbers and mislead Australians. We've already seen them cherry-pick numbers and use them to make misleading claims in Parliament. Climate Councillor and economistNicki Hutley said: “The Federal Coalition's nuclear scheme would cost Australians a bomb. It’s a risky, expensive fantasy that would see Australians paying more than $100 billion…

First Nations co-owned grid-scale solar project shovel ready

Pilbara Solar, a 50% Aboriginal-controlled startup business and recognised social enterprise, has received an Offer to Connect for the Junja Solar Farm to deliver power to Horizon Power’s coastal network. “This is the final milestone in developing our first renewable energy project, a 10MW solar farm on our community land at Jinparinya near Port Hedland,” said Barry Taylor, spokesperson for the Jinparinya Community. “Income earned from he project will be put back into the community for social and housing programs,” Mr Taylor said. “The benefits of this project include 5% free carry ownership; the chance to increase our ownership with…
