Enabling Sustainable Transportation Through Advanced High-Purity Hydrogen Production
Since 2021, H2SITE has been developing a proprietary membrane reactor technology which enables hydrogen separation from gas streams and easy-to-transport molecules, such as ammonia or methanol. H2SITE has built and operated 15 projects in Western Europe and is now developing large-scale infrastructure first-of-a-kind projects in North America, the EU and Asia Pacific.

H2SITE announced in January 2025 the successful closing of its Series B funding round at EUR36 million from a consortium of investors, combining strategic and financial investors focused on the next growth phase. H2SITE has notably received support from new co-lead investors Hy24, through its Clean Hydrogen Equipment Fund. The Series B funding aimed to support the company’s next industrialization and commercialization milestones, including multi tons per day hydrogen production capacity in operation by 2026, and addressing several end-use markets such as large scale and decentralized ammonia cracking, natural hydrogen production in the USA and maritime decarbonization applications.
Engineering the most advanced technology to make high-purity hydrogen available
Reaching Net Zero will require large volumes of low‑carbon hydrogen for hard‑to‑abate industry and heavy transport. But regions such as Europe and East Asia face limited supply and high prices, making imports attractive. A key barrier is cost‑effective long‑distance transport: current solutions can add 80–300% to hydrogen production costs. Hydrogen carriers like ammonia and methanol are promising because they are widely produced, supported by mature supply chains and regulation, and are easier to store and transport than liquid hydrogen. H2SITE’s membrane reactor separates high‑purity hydrogen from these carrier molecules (e.g., ammonia, methanol, syngas) and can also extract hydrogen from mixed gas streams in existing pipelines and storage sites. The technology works like a compact unit filled with highly selective membranes that split incoming molecules and absorb hydrogen at over 99% purity, with no moving parts and high efficiency.
Tackling the challenge of hydrogen supply chain
"We have gathered a consortium of strategic and financial partners who deeply understand the challenges of scaling production, hydrogen deployment timelines, and market demand. This collective expertise and support empowers us to drive growth and execute large-scale infrastructure projects, with a focus on ammonia cracking and hydrogen separation."
