Lummus Technology, a global leader in process technologies and energy solutions, and Advanced Ionics, a developer of low-cost green hydrogen technologies, have broken ground on a pilot plant to showcase Advanced Ionics’ cutting-edge electrolyzer.
“By demonstrating Advanced Ionics’ technology at our state-of-the-art R&D facility, we are leveraging the expertise of our scientists and R&D team, plus our proven track record of developing breakthrough technologies,” said Leon de Bruyn, president and CEO of Lummus Technology.
“This will help us accelerate commercialization of the technology and deliver scalable, cost-effective and sustainable green hydrogen solutions to our customers.”
The pilot, located at Lummus Technology’s R&D facility in Pasadena, will see Lummus operate the electrolyzer and manage balance-of-plant systems, while Advanced Ionics provides its high-efficiency electrolyzer designed to reduce energy requirements.
“Our collaboration with Lummus demonstrates the power of partnerships in driving the energy transition forward,” said Ignacio Bincaz, CEO of Advanced Ionics. “Lummus serves as a launchpad for technologies like ours, enabling us to validate performance and integration under real-world conditions. This milestone proves that green hydrogen can be practical and economically viable, and it marks another key step toward commercial deployment.”
The pilot builds on a 2024 partnership between the two companies aimed at advancing cost-effective, sustainable hydrogen production. Industry experts see green hydrogen as a critical tool for decarbonizing industrial processes, transportation, and power generation.
