US-headed global provider of process technologies and value-driven energy solutions Lummus Technology LLC, and UK-based startup Biohydrogen Technologies Ltd have announced an agreement to develop and deploy advanced synthesis gas reactor technology primarily for the production of blue hydrogen.
Founded in 2022, Biohydrogen Technologies is specializing in the process design and engineering of synthesis gas production systems for the hydrogen, methanol, and ammonia markets.
这包括hydroge的设计n production facilities from both natural gas and biogas with carbon capture, the latter of which results in net carbon dioxide (CO2) capture from the atmosphere, at, the company says “by far the lowest cost and highest thermal efficiency of all known CO2atmospheric removal processes.”
According to a statement, Lummus’ Green Circle business unit will provide Biohydrogen Technologies with its expertise in hydrogen and synthesis gas plant design, reactor scale-up and design, and proprietary equipment supply.
The combination of Biohydrogen Technologies Intellectual Property and Green Circle / Lummus Technology skills in design, engineering, and licensing will shortly allow bulk hydrogen production from natural gas with a thermal efficiency of 90 percent (LCV) and 99 percent CO2capture to become a practical reality, said Geoff Weedon, CEO of Biohydrogen Technologies.
This technology is an economically attractive solution to address the large-scale production of blue hydrogen.
The technology is also differentiated from other possible solutions due to its higher thermal efficiency, lower capital cost, small footprint, and ability to capture more than 99 percent of the CO2at pressure.
As the world looks for solutions to generate significant quantities of hydrogen for energy use while lowering CO2emissions, Lummus is proud to partner with Biohydrogen Technologies to address this critical challenge for our industry and society. By joining together, we will help further develop and deploy decarbonized solutions to the market, said Leon de Bruyn, President and CEO of Lummus Technology.
Green Circle concentrates and expands Lummus Technology’s capabilities to capture new opportunities in the energy transition and circular economy.
Green Circle is a leader in providing economically and technically sound solutions to process solid wastes containing plastics; process various renewable bio-based feedstocks to value-added chemicals, polymers, and fuels; decarbonize refinery and petrochemicals assets; expand production of blue hydrogen and biofuels; and treat industrial wastewater.
