Hydrogen heat from Hyting

Hydrogen heating technology company Hyting said independent test results have confirmed that its technology produces no harmful emissions. The assessments were carried out by emissions measurements specialist Wöhler Technik GmbH on a prototype of a hydrogen heating system. The company said the results showed that the company’s catalytic hydrogen heating system produces only water as a by-product and emits no detectable CO2, CO or NOx emissions.

“As a technology-oriented company focused on environmental measurement technology, we’re pleased to support the development of innovative solutions in heating technology from the outset and to confirm the safety and reliability of operations through our measurements,” said Dr. Michael Poeplau, CEO of Wöhler GmbH. “The flameless and emissions-free application of hydrogen offers tremendous potential and the opportunity to meaningfully expand the range of sustainable heating solutions.”

The Hyting system uses flameless oxidation to generate heat. In a specially developed catalyst, hydrogen reacts with oxygen from the air, releasing heat. The company said that as no flammable hydrogen concentrations are used at any operating point, it is inherently safe and easy to integrate as a retrofit solution and into new-builds.

Hyting said the technology is modular and scalable, with outputs of 10-300 kW, enabling it to be configured for a range of different applications, including commercial vehicle heating systems and process heat as well as commercial and residential buildings.

Based in Wiesbaden, Germany, Hyting was founded in 2021 to deliver carbon-free heating fuelled by hydrogen.
