Topsoe, Aramco sign JDA to advance low-carbon hydrogen solutions using eREACT™

  • Aramco and Topsoe sign a joint development agreement (JDA) to produce low-carbon hydrogen using Topsoe’s innovative eREACT™ technology at the Shaybah Natural Gas Liquids (NGL) recovery plant in Saudi Arabia. 
  • Once operational, the plant’s 3MW unit is expected to produce 6 tons of low-carbon hydrogen daily.
  • The JDA builds on the two companies’ initial collaboration, announced in October 2023, to demonstrate the scalability, efficiency and carbon-reduction potential of eREACT™.

Topsoe and Aramco have signed a joint development agreement (JDA) to produce low-carbon hydrogen, also referred to as blue hydrogen, using Topsoe’s ground-breaking eREACT™ technology in Aramco’s Shaybah NGL facility. The JDA underlines the two parties’ strategic collaboration and ambitions to bring carbon-reducing technology to the market.

This collaboration will further demonstrate integration of Aramco’s innovative palladium-alloy membrane technology ensuring the production of low-carbon hydrogen with simultaneous CO2 capture. Aramco's contribution is instrumental, as it brings its extensive resources, expertise, and global reach to enable the commercialization of this technology.

By combining Topsoe's expertise in carbon emission reduction technologies with Aramco's resources, this strategic collaboration will accelerate the adoption of this novel low-carbon hydrogen technology on a global scale. The successful commercialization of eREACT™ technology will contribute to reducing the carbon footprint of the energy and chemical sectors.
