H2SITE And Petronor Team Up To Improve Hydrogen Production At Refineries

This partnership will lead to the development of a first-of-its-kind (FOAK) unit where H2SITE’s advanced membrane technology will be integrated into the Steam Methane Reforming (SMR) process at Petronor’s refinery.

The goal is to increase efficiency, improve CO₂ capture, and boost overall performance, helping make refinery operations more competitive and environmentally sustainable.

Petronor’s engineering and operations teams are working closely with H2SITE’s technical experts, bringing together years of refinery experience and large-scale project execution.

By combining advanced membrane reactor technology with strong operational know-how, this partnership aims to speed up the production of efficient, low-carbon, and more sustainable hydrogen.

H2SITE is an industrial tech company that helps enable large-scale clean energy solutions. Using its own membrane reactor technology, it provides scalable systems for hydrogen production, separation, and ammonia cracking.

Its solutions are designed for real industrial use, making hydrogen easier to transport and produce locally, supporting efficient and low-carbon energy systems.

“Partnering with Petronor allows us to demonstrate, at refinery scale, how our membrane reactor can be integrated downstream of existing reformers to recover more hydrogen while lowering net energy demand. This FOAK installation is designed to prove a repeatable scale-up route, improve process yields, and de-risk rapid commercial roll-out,” said Andrés Galnares, CEO of H2SITE.

“Collaborating with H2SITE represents a significant step forward in our roadmap toward more efficient and lower carbon refining operations. By integrating advanced membrane technology into our existing assets we aim to optimise hydrogen management enhance CO₂ capture potential, and reinforce the competitiveness of our industrial facilities. This project reflects our commitment to innovation and to accelerating the transformation of the refining sector toward more sustainable models ” said José Ignacio Zudaire CEO of Petronor.
