On August 29, 2024, Nu:ionic Technologies (USA), Inc. ("Nu:ionic") and RW Energy announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to expedite hydrogen production and advance carbon capture projects across the United States. The partnership focuses on implementing low-carbon energy solutions at various U.S. energy park locations.

RW Energy, a company specializing in energy park development, will lead project identification, facility design, and business development while providing expertise in sustainable and distributed capacity energy solutions. Nu:ionic, on the other hand, will supply modular, pre-engineered low-carbon hydrogen production equipment. This equipment features the Nu-X Smart ReformerSM, which integrates carbon capture technology. The Nu:ionic system is designed to produce high-purity hydrogen and industrial-grade cryogenic liquid by-product carbon dioxide, which can be easily transported for sequestration or other uses.

The partnership has identified strategic locations for the first series of low-carbon hydrogen projects, with development planned in Northern California, the Gulf Coast of Texas, and Ohio. These sites were chosen based on factors such as existing infrastructure, market demand, and the regulatory environment. Each site will utilize Nu:ionic’s Teal Hydrogen™ production equipment, with capacities ranging from 1.2 to 6 tonnes per day. RW Energy estimates that these projects will begin operations as early as the fourth quarter of 2025.

The Nu-X Smart Reformer developed by Nu:ionic is a compact, electrified natural gas or renewable biogas reformer that facilitates the cost-effective production of low-carbon hydrogen at distributed capacities. By combining low-cost natural gas with carbon capture and electrifying the combustion source, this technology enables the production of low-carbon hydrogen at a competitive market price.

Darin Knicely, CEO of RW Energy, emphasized the significance of this collaboration, stating, "The use of Nu:ionic’s technology enables RW Energy to integrate renewable resources into methane-based hydrogen production and offers a cost-effective and near-term pathway to low-carbon energy solutions." Jan Boshoff, CEO of Nu:ionic, also highlighted the benefits of the partnership, saying, "Nu-X is available today, and our collaboration with RW Energy provides an opportunity to deliver Nu:ionic’s unique value proposition of low-carbon hydrogen solutions at truly distributed production capacity to multiple U.S. locations."

This strategic alliance between Nu:ionic and RW Energy marks a significant step forward in the development of low-carbon hydrogen and carbon capture projects, contributing to the broader goal of sustainable energy production in the United States.

Nu:ionic Technologies develops proprietary technology and equipment that help process industry customers achieve net-zero goals through electrification. The company's electrified methane reforming technology facilitates the production of low-cost, low-carbon hydrogen, supporting zero-emission transportation, biogas upgrading, and the decarbonization of natural gas and industrial processes.
