Topsoe A/S and Fidelis New Energy have entered a global alliance for technology used for producing carbon neutral H₂. The alliance pairs Topsoe’s H₂ process portfolio with FidelisH₂ technology for reduction of lifecycle carbon emissions in H₂ production. Combined, the alliance solution enables the production of H₂ from natural gas with a lifecycle carbon intensity of 0 kgCO₂e/kgH₂.

Producing decarbonized products, materials and fuels through proven technologies such as the Topsoe Blue Portfolio and FidelisH₂ is a critical contribution to decarbonizing carbon intense sectors of society, including industry, digital infrastructure, agriculture, energy and transportation. Topsoe and Fidelis are dedicated to continuing to play their roles in this important endeavor to accelerate the energy transition and to join forces to provide an offering for life cycle carbon neutral H₂ utilizing renewables and natural gas.

Partnering to support the industry’s energy transition

Fidelis and Topsoe will jointly and exclusively license FidelisH₂ alongside Topsoe’s blue H₂ technology portfolio. Topsoe will lead engagement with potential licensees interested in utilizing FidelisH₂ to produce carbon neutral H₂ at world scale using proven technologies.

Henrik Rasmussen, Managing Director, The Americas, Topsoe said, “This is an exciting partnership to lead the way to achieve net-zero in 2050. I look forward to working with Fidelis in setting the bar high regarding transitional energy technologies. With this alliance, we can offer clients across all industrial sectors, a proven and exceptional carbon neutral hydrogen solution.”

Co-Founder and CEO of Fidelis, Dan Shapiro, said, “We are excited to partner with Topsoe, the leading provider of hydrogen production technology and catalysts. After several years of work with Topsoe leadership, catalysts, and technologies, we are pleased to formally join forces with them through this Global Alliance Agreement to deliver carbon neutral hydrogen produced from Topsoe’s Blue Portfolio and the innovative and novel FidelisH₂ process.”

Fidelis Co-Founder and COO, Bengt Jarlsjo added, “We look forward to deploying FidelisH2 across our future projects and to providing other select users a path to zero carbon intensity clean hydrogen utilizing certified natural gas and renewable energy.”

Providing a scalable solution for low carbon H₂ production

Topsoe’s industry leading H₂ process portfolio includes both steam methane reforming and SynCOR autothermal reforming solutions to produce H₂ with integrated carbon capture. FidelisH₂ is a proprietary solution for incorporation of renewable energy into reforming processes to achieve clean H₂ production. The novel integration of these proven technologies offered through the alliance provides a scalable solution well suited for generating valuable climate and environmental incentives such as the 45V tax credits provided in the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.
