H2SITE has developed a technology that allows for combined ammonia cracking and hydrogen purification using a proprietary palladium alloy membrane. H2SITE utilizes its membrane technology for purification of hydrogen for compliance with hydrogen refueling standards (99.97% purity).

Utilizing its technology, H2SITE has designed and constructed an ammonia cracker to produce fuel cell-grade hydrogen for the Ammogen Project at Tyseley Energy Park in Birmingham, UK. The technology will be used to produce up to 200 kilograms of high-purity hydrogen per day from ammonia feedstock, which will be used in an onsite vehicle refueling station. H2SITE is joined in the project by Gemserv, Equans, Yara, the University of Birmingham and Tyseley Energy Park, and is funded by the UK Department for Energy Security and Net Zero. H2SITE has also successfully validated its ammonia cracker technology onboard the BERTHA B supply ship sailing along the Gulf of Biscay shores.

To discuss the catalytic membrane technology for ammonia cracking, the Ammogen project, maritime applications and other opportunities, Jon Meléndez Rey (Technical Director – Membrane Engineering, H2SITE) & Jose Antonio Medrano Jimenez (Technical Director – Process Engineering, H2SITE) will be joined in conversation by AEA Technology Manager Kevin Rouwenhorst on Thursday 23 May @ 3PM CET.
