Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company, Inc. (MGC), a Japanese methanol manufacturer and supplier for chemical and energy sectors including Methanol-to-Hydrogen applications, Methanol Reformer S.L., a Spanish leader in Methanol-to-Hydrogen generator manufacturing, and Element 1® Corp., a leading developer of advanced hydrogen generation technology, announce the signing of Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to collaborate on the development and commercialization of hydrogen solutions by innovative methanol reforming technology.
Under the terms of the MOU, the three companies will leverage their respective expertise to accelerate the design, manufacture, and sales of Methanol-to-Hydrogen generators, which have been designed under the concept of modular and mass-producible units.
Key Expertise by respective company:
- MGC will contribute as a supplier of methanol feedstock, including circular carbon methanol, by utilization of its presence in the global methanol value chain.
- Methanol Reformer S.L. will contribute manufacturing capabilities of Methanol-to-Hydrogen generators under license from Element 1®.
- Element 1® Corp. will contribute its methanol steam reforming and hydrogen purification intellectual property and designs.
Through this strategic collaboration, the three companies will accelerate the hydrogen solutions through adoption of Methanol-to-Hydrogen generators to bridge gaps where hydrogen is not abundantly or cost-effectively available. Utilization of circular carbon methanol will offer reduction of greenhouse gas emissions that supports global environmental and sustainability goals.
