The system, deployed in Kløfta, Norway, demonstrates Methanol Reformer’s modular technology in real-world conditions, providing high-purity hydrogen for mobile and stationary applications.
The commissioning highlights the combined efforts of Methanol Reformer and DRIV Hydrogen teams, highlighting operational reliability, low maintenance requirements, and continuous 24/7 H2 supply.
Key objectives of this deployment include producing high-purity hydrogen from bio-methanol for on-site H2 generation application and showcasing operational performance, modularity, and flexibility for future deployments.
“This commissioning represents an important achievement and the beginning of a new path for decentralized hydrogen and power solutions. A big thank you to the entire DRIV Hydrogen team for their commitment and support during the commissioning and first start-up.
"This milestone reflects the dedication and expertise of both teams and demonstrates the potential of Methanol Reformer’s modular methanol-to-hydrogen technology.” said Javier Torres, Managing Director of Methanol Reformer.
“This is a significant milestone for us. The production of our first kilogram of hydrogen demonstrates that the technology works and provides us with a solid foundation for further development. Our collaboration with Methanol Reformer has played a crucial role in reaching this stage” said Kristian Morken, Chief Executive Officer of DRIV Hydrogen.
The Kløfta event spanned three days of intensive collaboration and progress, highlighting Methanol Reformer’s role in advancing practical, decentralized hydrogen and electricity solutions using bio-methanol.
