HyGear announces engineering contract with Aramco Overseas company bv for development of decentralized blue hydrogen generation technology.
HyGear, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Xebec Adsorption Inc. (TSX: XBC) (“Xebec”) announce that it has signed a contract with Aramco Overseas Company B.V. (SR: 2222) to conduct a Front-End Engineering Design (“FEED”) study for packaged hydrogen generators based on membrane reformer technology.
By leveraging HyGear’s expertise in decentralized hydrogen production, a detailed assessment and benchmarking of technologies will be performed to design a system that can convert liquid feedstocks into low carbon hydrogen and high purity carbon dioxide (CO2) that can be captured and used as process gas.
Dr. Ellart de Wit, General Manager of HyGear, said:
HyGear has participated in several European projects utilizing membrane reactor-based technology and we are excited to leverage this unique experience to design a new system for Aramco.
Thanks for staying up to date with Hydrogen Central. He added, “By integrating Aramco’s next-generation palladium-membrane reforming technology, HyGear is able to use multiple feedstocks, ranging from natural gas to heavy naphtha, to produce blue hydrogen”.
The main goal for HyGear in this project is to determine the scope of design and feasibility of a demonstration unit for Aramco to assess larger-scale deployment in the future.
