Johnson Matthey, Honeywell Partner on Clean Hydrogen Tech

Dec. 21, 2022

Specialty chemical producer Johnson Matthey and Honeywell have partnered to provide solutions that will enable clean hydrogen production at scale.

The market-ready solution combines Johnson Matthey’s LCH blue hydrogen technology with Honeywell’s carbon-capture solution as a new option for project developers looking to produce lower carbon-intensity hydrogen.

Public policies that encourage investment in clean hydrogen are driving increased demand for new solutions in this market, the companies stated in a joint news release.

The solution could help developers gain tax incentives under the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which commits billions in production tax incentives for clean hydrogen producers, JM-Honeywell reports. The technology enables direct process emissions to be less than 0.1 kgCO2/kgH2 by capturing carbon rates above 99%2. This provides eligibility for production tax credits within the IRA.

The relationship builds on a previous collaborative effort announced at the European Refining Technology Conference in Berlin, where Johnson Matthey is integrating differentiated Honeywell UOP technologies into its Cleanpace offering for decarbonizing existing syngas plants.
