Technip Energies, Casale tie up in blue hydrogen technology

Technip Energies and Casale, a provider of technologies and integrated engineering solutions to produce fertilisers and other base chemicals, have 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. It 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 decarbonise hydrogen facilities, the ATR-based solution could achieve up to 99% of carbon capture rate.

Technip Energies’ two centres for hydrogen, Claremont, US and Zoetermeer, Netherlands, will jointly execute with Casale PDP for ATR-based blue hydrogen projects.
