Casale SA, Lugano, and Technip Energies, Paris, have jointly announced a new partnership to jointly license oxidative reforming-based technologies, autothermal reforming (ATR) and partial oxidation (POx) technologies for the blue hydrogen market.
ATR is a process to produce syngas that contains hydrogen, CO, and CO2. The two companies said this becomes cost-effective for low-carbon hydrogen when combined with carbon capture technology and suitable for larger-scale facilities
As part of this collaboration, Technip Energies and Casale will be co-licensors of the technology and will offer Process Design Package (PDP), proprietary equipment and entire plants.
In order to decarbonize hydrogen facilities, the ATR-based solution could achieve up to 99% of carbon capture rate, according to the two firms.
Technip Energies’ two centers of excellence for hydrogen, in Claremont, Ca, US, and in Zoetermeer, in the Netherlands, will jointly execute with Casale PDP for ATR-based blue hydrogen projects.
