Hyting, a start-up specialising in hydrogen, has developed a forced-air heating system that uses a unique catalytic process to turn hydrogen and oxygen from air into heat. The catalyst acts as a reaction accelerator. Unlike systems that rely on hydrogen combustion to generate heat, Hyting’s technology does not produce any NOx, or particulate emissions – the only by-product is water. Furthermore, it does not use flammable concentrations of hydrogen at any operating point.
It is modular and highly scalable in design, with outputs of 10-300 kW, enabling it to be configured for a wide range of different heating applications, including commercial and residential buildings and heating systems for commercial vehicles. Prototypes are currently undergoing testing, with the first customer trials expected in Germany by Q1 2025.
ebm-papst will utilise its extensive experience and infrastructure to accelerate the development and market launch of Hyting's heat generator portfolio. The heating technology expert ebm-papst has been conducting research in the field of hydrogen for years, including in its in-house hydrogen laboratory at its Landshut location. The company's gas products are already certified for the admixture of hydrogen and can therefore be used in the Hyting heat generator. The company plans to manufacture the Hyting heat generators at its state-of-the-art production facilities.
“We are thrilled and proud to partner with ebm-papst” said Tim Hannig, Founder and Managing Director of Hyting. “ebm-papst’s knowledge, skillset, experience and infrastructure massively accelerate and de-risk our time to market.
