en.Wedoany.com Reported - Spanish technology company H2SITE has entered into a strategic agreement with refining company Petronor to apply advanced hydrogen separation membrane technology at Petronor's refinery, aiming to promote low-carbon hydrogen production.

The two parties will jointly develop the first demonstration unit, integrating H2SITE's proprietary membrane technology into the refinery's steam methane reforming process. This collaboration aims to enhance plant efficiency, increase carbon dioxide capture opportunities, and strengthen operational competitiveness.

Petronor's engineering team and H2SITE's technical experts will combine refinery experience and membrane reactor technology to accelerate the process of efficient and sustainable hydrogen production.

Andrés Galnares, CEO of H2SITE, stated: "Collaborating with Petronor allows us to demonstrate membrane reactor integration on a refinery scale, recovering more hydrogen and reducing energy consumption. This demonstration unit will validate a scalable process pathway, improving yield and reducing commercialization risks."

José Ignacio Zudaire, CEO of Petronor, said: "Partnering with H2SITE is a key step in our journey towards efficient, low-carbon refining operations. By integrating membrane technology, we optimize hydrogen management, enhance carbon capture capabilities, and strengthen industrial competitiveness, reflecting our commitment to innovation and a sustainable transition."

H2SITE is an industrial technology company focused on hydrogen production and separation solutions, offering scalable systems through membrane reactor technology. Petronor is an industrial company in Spain's Biscay province committed to hydrogen technology and decarbonization. Over the past five years, it has invested over €1.2 billion, creating 201 new jobs and directly employing 940 people.
