Unitel Technologies, Inc. announced that it has been engaged by a major Southeast Asian conglomerate to supply its technology and engineering know-how for the construction, start-up and operation of an on-site Unitel M2H (1,000 Nm3/hour) production system and a downstream hydrogen sulfide plant. The balance of the hydrogen will be used for other applications.

Using methanol to make hydrogen for decentralized operations is a sensible option when pipeline natural gas or LPG are not readily available. Methanol is an internationally traded liquid product that can be easily transported to remote points of use by truck or train. Its low cost and availability make it an attractive energy vector. “Unitel’s M2H 1,000 represents a significant departure from the conventional natural gas reforming process,” says Serge Randhava, CEO of Unitel. “In addition to selective supply chain advantages, lower capital and operating costs are the most visible benefits,” he adds. At this scale, some other pluses of the Unitel M2H 1,000 design versus conventional natural gas steam reforming are:
Forecasts by Type (On-Site Production Stations, Off-Site Production Stations), by Size (Small-Scale Stations, Medium-Scale Stations, Large-Scale Stations), by Technology (Electrolysis-based Stations, Natural Gas Reforming-based Stations, Renewable Hydrogen Production-based Stations, Other), by Application (Passenger Vehicles, Commercial Vehicles, Material Handling Vehicles, Backup Power Generation, Other) AND Regional and Leading National Market Analysis PLUS Analysis of Leading Companies AND COVID-19 Impact and Recovery Pattern Analysis
