Proprietary ATR technology for large-capacity, ultra-blue hydrogen
As a global leader in hydrogen, we have added Oxidative ATR technology in partnership with Casale to our extensive range of proprietary SMR technology solutions to deliver large-capacity, ultra-blue solutions with up to 99+ percent carbon capture rates.
The oxidative reforming process - Auto Thermal Reforming (ATR) and Partial Oxidative (POx) - produces syngas that contains hydrogen, CO and CO2. ATR combined with Technip Parallel Reformer (TPR®) and carbon capture is a cost-effective way to produce low-carbon hydrogen with optimized steam production. A game-changing technology, ATR breaks the upper capacity limit of traditional hydrogen plants.
Industry leading steam methane reforming (SMR) technology
SMR is well suited to a wide range of capacities and we have unrivaled experience in this area with more than 275 hydrogen plants using our SMR technology. We can deliver top-fired reformers for hydrogen plants up to 300 kNm3/h (1 GW) in a single unit with optimized CAPEX and the lowest plot requirements without compromising OPEX.

FAQ
Blue hydrogen is produced from natural gas through a reforming process using steam methane reforming (SMR), auto thermal reforming (ATR) or partial oxidation (POx). During the reforming process, carbon is captured and stored to reduce hydrogen carbon intensity, making blue hydrogen technology a cleaner and more environmental alternative to grey hydrogen production, which does not capture greenhouse gas emissions.
Blue hydrogen is low-carbon hydrogen produced from natural gas with carbon capture and storage (CCS), while green hydrogen is produced through water electrolysis using renewable electricity. This hydrogen production method results in near-zero carbon dioxide emissions, making green hydrogen a clean and sustainable energy source to generate electricity and power vehicles.
The advantages of blue hydrogen production include lower carbon emissions compared to grey hydrogen, efficient use of existing natural gas infrastructure and immediate availability at large scale through proven technologies. Blue hydrogen technology serves as a transitional energy source toward a more renewable hydrogen economy, powering the energy transition and boosting global environmental climate goals to reduce fossil fuel reliance. O2 emissions by up to 20 percent), reduce hydrocarbon consumption and increase reforming capacity by up to 30 percent. Successfully operating for over 20 years with installed capacity up to 160 kNm3/h and growing.
