Hydrogen Mem-Tech has successfully completed a pilot project with WS Reformer in Germany, demonstrating efficient ammonia cracking followed by advanced hydrogen purification using Hydrogen Mem-Tech’s palladium membrane technology.
The joint pilot produced very high-purity hydrogen, confirming the strong potential of combining WS Reformer’s ammonia cracking system with Hydrogen Mem-Tech’s separation technology.
“The results exceeded our expectations,” says Stephan Laux, CTO at Hydrogen Mem-Tech and responsible for commissioning in Germany. “Seeing WS Reformer’s cracking unit and our membrane technology perform so efficiently together was highly rewarding. This is where the technology comes together: when two teams of dedicated engineers combine expertise and curiosity to turn promising ideas into clean hydrogen.”
Following this successful test, WS Reformer and Hydrogen Mem-Tech are now seeking hydrogen offtakers interested in piloting high-purity hydrogen solutions based on ammonia as a carrier.
This marks an important milestone towards scalable, decentralised hydrogen production for industrial applications and mobility.
The milestone was celebrated by both teams — with cake in Norway and champagne in Germany — marking a successful step forward for clean hydrogen technology.
