Technip Energies and Casale will jointly license oxidative reforming-based technologies, auto thermal reforming (ATR) and partial oxidation (POx) technologies for the blue hydrogen market, Paris-listed Technip Energies said on April 20.

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, the company said.

As part of this collaboration, Technip Energies and Casale will be co-licensors of the technology and will offer a 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, it said.  

Technip Energies’ two centers of excellence for hydrogen, Claremont CA, US and Zoetermeer, NL, will jointly execute with Casale PDP for ATR-based blue hydrogen projects.
