HyTerra Ltd. and Prometheus Hydrogen LLC have signed a collaboration agreement to undertake a joint demonstration of end-to-end hydrogen production within the continental US.
The two companies agreed to demonstrate the first end-to-end production and delivery of geologic hydrogen to an end user in the US.
The agreement brings together HyTerra’s geologic hydrogen expertise with Prometheus’ proprietary purification and downstream hydrogen storage, transport and delivery technologies.
HyTerra CEO Riley Kemp said: “We believe Prometheus Hydrogen has developed the most compelling solution to the challenges facing the hydrogen industry, and this demonstration gives us a clear pathway to show how geologic hydrogen can be produced and delivered to an end-user in a practical, integrated way.
“HyTerra’s focus has always been on building a scalable and commercially credible geologic hydrogen business. Successfully demonstrating end-to-end production, purification, storage, transport and delivery would be a major step toward unlocking that opportunity in the US and positioning HyTerra and Prometheus Hydrogen at the forefront of this emerging sector.”
HyTerra will provide raw gas containing geologic hydrogen from a HyTerra-controlled well site, while Prometheus will purify, store and deliver the hydrogen to an end user within the US.
The demonstration is targeting completion by the end of 2026. HyTerra said the demonstration is a proof-of-concept and no binding offtake or pricing agreements have been entered into at this stage.
Following successful completion of the demonstration, HyTerra and Prometheus plan to discuss a broader commercial collaboration within the US and internationally, including potential longer-term supply arrangements.
Nic Kearne, Prometheus CEO, said: “We see strong alignment between our companies and meaningful potential to expand this collaboration on a commercial scale across multiple jurisdictions.”
