Overview

Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne's Hydrogen Generator uses an innovative one-step process for large-scale hydrogen production. Our scalable, modular design delivers a 90 percent reduction in size compared to steam methane reformers (SMRs), making it a compact and space-efficient solution for fuel, chemical and fertilizer production. With 30-40 percent lower equipment costs, and 15-35 percent increase in hydrogen efficiency, it enables lower cost hydrogen production. By decreasing carbon dioxide emissions and natural gas consumption, while capturing concentrated carbon dioxide and nitrogen. Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne’s Hydrogen Generator provides a cost-effective means for hydrogen production with the potential for low carbon footprint energy.
