Demonstrating GTI Energy’s Innovative Low-carbon Hydrogen Production Technology for Decarbonization in UK HyPER Project

GTI Energy is working in conjunction with Cranfield University, Doosan Babcock, Helical Energy, and the British Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) on a project in the U.K. called "Bulk Hydrogen Production by Sorbent Enhanced Steam Reforming” (HyPER). The effort scales-up an advanced, industrial-scale GTI Energy hydrogen production technology that inherently captures any CO₂ produced in the process, building a state-of-the-art pilot plant (approximately 1 tonne per day hydrogen capacity) at Cranfield University. It has the potential to produce high-purity hydrogen at up to 30% lower levelized cost of hydrogen than conventional steam methane reforming methods that require an additional CO₂ capture step.

GTI Energy has also performed pilot testing of the hydrogen generator technology, under U.S. DOE funding, in a project which verified catalyst stability and successfully demonstrated SER chemistry and process operation. A pilot plant at GTI Energy’s Des Plaines campus validated engineering and technology predictions and demonstrated a disruptive breakthrough: our generation technology can make high-purity hydrogen while at the same time capturing and delivering high-purity CO₂.
