Advanced purification and catalyst technologies designed to help reduce costs and support renewable hydrogen at scale.
Advanced purification and catalyst technologies designed to help reduce costs and support renewable hydrogen at scale.
Green hydrogen production through water electrolysis offers a path toward reduced carbon emissions. Honeywell's purification systems and catalyst-coated membrane technologies help producers lower costs while supporting renewable energy integration. Commercially proven systems help balance the intermittency of renewable power sources by using renewable power to drive hydrogen energy production.
Honeywell Protonium™ integrates design, control and optimization to help manage power intermittency and lower the levelized cost of hydrogen (LCOH). Our portfolio includes the Hydrogen Electrolyzer Control System (HECS), the Concept Design Optimizer (CDO) and the Unified Control & Optimizer (UCO).

Higher hydrogen production per CCM area
Honeywell UOP’s PEM CCM supports higher hydrogen production per area than commercially available CCM, enabling electrolyzer stack CapEx cost reduction for PEM water electrolysis.1
300+ membrane systems in global operation
Honeywell UOP's Separex™ membrane systems for gas processing are used in more than 300 units globally and contribute to the 40 million tons of installed CO2 capture capacity enabled by Honeywell technology.2

Electrolyzer technology selection affects capital and operating costs. PEM systems offer higher current densities and flexible operations but require precious metal catalysts. AEM technology can also enable lower investment and operational costs by providing higher current densities per voltage and removing the need for expensive precious metals on anode catalysts.
Digitalization and software platforms help improve facility design, control and operations to help reduce CAPEX and OPEX while managing power intermittency from renewable sources.
Electrolysis produces hydrogen mixed with moisture and trace amounts of oxygen and nitrogen. Our systems use adsorbents that capture impurities while allowing hydrogen through.
Temperature Swing Adsorption captures contaminants at standard temperature, then heats the bed to release them. Polybed™ Pressure Swing Adsorption uses proprietary adsorbents at high pressure to increase purity by removing contaminants
Electrolyzer stack life depends on operating conditions, cycling frequency and degradation rates. Honeywell's Hydrogen Electrolyzer Control System monitors degradation patterns to help extend equipment life with timely maintenance.
Reliability and operating costs also depend on process optimization. Since intermittent energy sources are necessary for green hydrogen production, effective, efficient operations are crucial to meeting and maintaining production targets. Digitalization and automation can help streamline your process and reduce inefficiencies for improved plant-wide performance.
