Start-up hydrogen heating technology company HYTING has announced Flusys GmbH as its first customer. This important milestone not only represents a significant development in HYTING’s strategic growth, but also confirms that hydrogen can help replace natural gas as a cleaner, more sustainable source of heating for commercial and residential buildings.
Installation and commissioning will take place in early 2025 at Flusys’ newly established precision pump manufacturing facility in Offenbach, Germany. The 1,000 cubic metre production space will be heated using hydrogen from a nearby supplier.
Tim Hannig, founder and managing director of HYTING, said: “We are confident that hydrogen will help decarbonise the heating sector. By radically simplifying the use of hydrogen’s thermal energy, we have developed an innovative hydrogen heating technology that is simple, safe, efficient and clean and will lead the way. We’re very proud that Flusys has chosen us and we look forward to commissioning our technology at the Offenbach plant.
“We are delighted to be a lighthouse customer for HYTING. We were immediately fascinated and excited by the technology. We hope to be able to give a boost to this new CO2-free technology,” said Carsten Neutzer, CEO of Flusys GmbH.
HYTING’s innovative concept offers a simple, safe, efficient and clean way to generate heat directly from hydrogen without combustion. The company has developed a forced air heating system (patent pending) that uses a unique catalytic process to convert hydrogen and oxygen from the air into heat, producing no CO2, NOx or particulate emissions – the only by-product being water. It also does not use flammable concentrations of hydrogen at any operating point.
The technology is as robust and cost-effective as it is innovative, using many proven, existing components from the heating and automotive industries. It’s also modular and highly scalable, with outputs ranging from 10-300 kW, so it can be configured for a wide range of different heating applications, including industrial, commercial and residential buildings – both new builds and retrofits, agricultural greenhouses, portable heaters and heating systems for commercial vehicles.
