PCC Hydrogen awarded US patent for hydrogen production technology

In Kentucky, PCC Hydrogen announced the issuance of its patented hydrogen production technology (US Patent 11,649,549) for coupling an electrolyzer system with a catalytic adiabatic reactor to convert ethanol into hydrogen.

By leveraging ethanol’s biogenic characteristics and capturing the pure CO2 byproduct of the PCC H2 hydrogen production process, the Company can produce a negative carbon index hydrogen product. Hydrogen generated from the PCC H2 process can be used in myriad applications ranging from hydrogen combustion engines to fuel cells (fuel cell powered loaders, trucks, other rolling stock, and for fuel cells in non-grid connected BEV charging stations). Furthermore, PCC H2 is exploring the use of its hydrogen to lower the emissions profile of any heating/calcining process.
