GREEN HYDROGEN

Johnson Matthey will supply mem- brane electrode assemblies for Hystar’s patented PEM technology.

DNV predicts that electrolyzer costs will drop 25% by 2030 and 50% by 2050.

Hydrogen Ship Tech -

RIX M2H2 Hydrogen Generator into an

Integrated Power System

Aiming to streamline the energy transition, RIX has pioneered a simpli? ed solution for emission-free marine operations. Its M2H2 reformers produce fuel cell ready, 99.97% pure hydrogen on-demand. Now combined into the same package with PEM fuel cells, this new integrated power system design improves not only energy ef? ciency and density, but also ease of implementation. With a modu- lar, scalable design, systems integrate into existing ship- board infrastructures with minimal retro? t. The integrated solution is a self-contained unit designed to conserve space and energy resulting in optimal ef? ciency. Tapping into safe, stable methanol as a feedstock fuel source that acts as a hydrogen carrier, the complexities of transport- ing and storing hydrogen are eliminated, and the M2H2 reformer within the Integrated Power System instead takes advantage of the worldwide availability of portside metha- nol to meet environmental mandates.
