H2SITE has launched H2SITE Norway AS, a new subsidiary based in Bergen, to enable the future of maritime hydrogen solutions. The company’s presence in Norway reflects its intention to work closer to the maritime and offshore industry and to support the practical deployment of hydrogen-based solutions for vessel decarbonisation.

H2SITE, the deep-tech start-up revolutionizing high-purity hydrogen production through cutting-edge palladium membrane technology, is scaling up its industrial presence with projects deployed across several European countries. To ensure performance and continuous optimization of its membrane reactors and separators, H2SITE has launched a control and data collection room built in collaboration with Siemens, based on the beta version of Siemens WinCC Unified Collaboration and Datahub software. The control room is already integrated and will be further developed across various ongoing and future projects, covering a wide range of market segments that reflect the versatility of H2SITE’s membrane-based technology. In the field of ammonia (NH₃) cracking, projects such as EIC, APOLO, and KATA are integrating this tool to monitor hydrogen production efficiency and system reliability in real time. Within the Waste-to-Hydrogen (WtH₂) segment, the HYIELD project is applying the control room to optimize process parameters and ensure stable operation during the conversion of waste streams into clean hydrogen. In Hydrogen Recovery applications, including AREARA, HERMES, and CleanToPureH₂ ,the platform enables continuous performance supervision, predictive maintenance, and detailed data analysis, ensuring the highest recovery rates and operational safety standards.

H2SITE has been awarded the EIC (European Innovation Council) Accelerator program for a project aimed at deploying a first-of-its-kind ammonia cracking unit capable of producing 1 ton of high-purity hydrogen per day. The system is based on H2SITE’s proprietary palladium-based membrane reactor technology, which enables the simultaneous catalytic decomposition of ammonia and selective hydrogen separation within a single unit.

H2SITE, a leading company in hydrogen separation technology and hydrogen transportation solutions, has announced its collaboration with SNAM, one of Europe’s key energy infrastructure operators, to develop an innovative project focused on the separation of hydrogen and natural gas mixtures.

H2SITE, a deep-tech pioneer of hydrogen separation solutions, announces today the successful closing of its Series B funding round at EUR36 million from a consortium of investors, combining strategic and financial investors focused on the next growth phase. H2SITE has received support from new co-lead investors Hy24, the world’s leading low-carbon hydrogen pure-play investment manager, through its Clean Hydrogen Equipment Fund, and SC Net Zero Ventures, the climate tech venture capital fund with focus on industrial and mobility decarbonization, managed by Suma Capital, a pioneer in sustainable and impact investments.

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.

Ammonia cracking is gaining momentum as a potential hydrogen carrier for onboard applications and this system is based on H2SITE’s hydrogen-selective membranes that overcome the thermodynamic limitations of the ammonia cracking reaction by recovering hydrogen continuously and resulting in virtually complete ammonia conversion and higher efficiencies at lower temperatures, reducing overall energy consumption and footprint.

Fourth paragraph should read: "The palladium membrane separators technology employed by H2SITE enables us to produce high-purity hydrogen suitable for fuel cell applications from blends with very low hydrogen concentrations," according to Andrés Galnares, CEO of H2SITE. "We have achieved the separation of over 97% of hydrogen at very high purity in the original gas stream while ensuring that the natural gas we deliver complies with the specifications of existing users."

White, natural or geologic hydrogen is naturally produced or present in the Earth’s crust and represents a primary source of energy without carbon footprint. Although it holds great decarbonization potential by significantly reducing current hydrogen costs, the technology still requires development.

H2SITE has successfully validated the first ammonia cracker to produce high-purity hydrogen for onboard power generation using a PEM fuel cell. An integrated membrane reactor has been installed and operated on board of the BERTHA B supply ship, sailing the shores of the Gulf of Biscay.
