Innovative catalytic hydrogen heating technology secures first major customer
Start-up hydrogen heating technology company HYTING has announced Flusys GmbH as its first customer. This milestone represents not only a significant development in HYTING’s strategic growth, but also affirmation that hydrogen can help to displace natural gas as a cleaner, more sustainable source of heating for commercial and residential buildings.
The installation of a 10kW hydrogen heating system is scheduled for early 2025 at Flusys’ newly established production facility for precision pumps in Offenbach, Germany. The facility features a production space of 1,000 cubic meters, which will be heated using hydrogen sourced from a nearby supplier, showcasing a practical application of the technology.
HYTING’s concept is said to offer a simple, safe, efficient, and clean way to generate heat directly from hydrogen, without combustion. The start-up has developed a forced-air heating system (patents-pending) that uses a unique catalytic process to turn hydrogen and oxygen from air into heat and which does not produce any CO2, NOx, or particulate emissions – the only by-product is water. Furthermore, it does not use flammable concentrations of hydrogen at any operating point.
The modular and scalable nature of this heating systems allows for outputs ranging from 10 to 300kW, making it suitable for various applications, including industrial, commercial, and residential buildings, as well as agricultural greenhouses and portable heating units. This flexibility positions the company to address a wide range of heating needs in both new constructions and retrofits.
Tim Hannig, founder and MD of HYTING, says:
“We are certain that hydrogen will help decarbonise the heating sector. By radically simplifying the use of hydrogen’s thermal energy we developed an innovative hydrogen-fueled heating technology that is simple, safe, efficient, and clean and that will lead the way. We’re very proud that Flusys has chosen us, and we look forward to commissioning our technology at the Offenbach facility.”
