Frisco-based energy park development company RW Energy and Tulsa-based Nu:ionic Technologies USA are teaming up to accelerate hydrogen production and advance carbon capture initiatives nationwide in a partnership aimed at implementing low-carbon energy solutions in multiple U.S. energy park locations.

RW Energy said it will lead and oversee project identification, facility design, business development, and provide expertise in sustainable and distributed capacity energy solutions.

“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,” RW Energy CEO Darin Knicely said in a statement.

Nu:ionic will supply modular, pre-engineered low-carbon hydrogen production equipment featuring the Nu-X Smart Reformer with integrated carbon capture, the companies said. The Nu:ionic equipment produces high purity hydrogen and cryogenic liquid by-product carbon dioxide as industrial grade, which can be readily transported for sequestration or utilization.

The companies said that the strategic locations for the initial fleet of low-carbon hydrogen projects are slated for development in Northern California, the Gulf Coast of Texas, and in Ohio.

The locations were selected based on factors including the existing infrastructure, market demand, and regulatory environment. All sites will employ Nu:ionic’s Teal Hydrogen production equipment ,with capacities ranging from 1.2 to 6 tonnes/day.

RW Energy said the projects could come online as early as Q4 2025.

Realizing net-zero goals through electrification

Nu:ionic’s Nu-X Smart Reformer is a compact, electrified natural gas or renewable raw biogas reformer that enables cost-effective production of low-carbon hydrogen at distributed capacities. The combination of low-cost natural gas with carbon capture, and the electrification of the combustion source results in a low-carbon hydrogen offering at a competitive market price.

“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,” Nu:ionic CEO Jan Boshoff said in a statement.

Nu:ionic Technologies is a developer of proprietary technology and equipment that enables process industry customers to realize net-zero goals through electrification. The company said its electrified methane reforming technology enables low-cost, low-carbon hydrogen production for zero emission transportation, biogas upgrading, natural gas and industrial process decarbonization.

The Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada location is home to Nu:ionic’s Canadian headquarters and Research and Innovation Center. Its U.S. operation in Tulsa provides sales, marketing, project execution, and integrated product development support.

RW Energy is a project developer specializing in energy parks that incorporate hydrogen and other energy sources within existing locations or new developments. The company said its cutting-edge solutions seek to reduce environmental impact and enhance energy efficiency for businesses and communities.
