Lummus Technology and Advanced Ionics break ground on green hydrogen pilot plant
Lummus Technology, a global provider of process technologies and value-driven energy solutions, and Advanced Ionics, a low-cost green hydrogen technology provider, broke ground recently on a pilot plant for Advanced Ionics' cutting-edge electrolyser technology.
Leon de Bruyn, president and chief executive officer, Lummus Technology, said: "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. This will help us accelerate commercialisation of the technology and deliver scalable, cost-effective and sustainable green hydrogen solutions to our customers."

The pilot will be located at Lummus Technology's R&D facility in Pasadena, Texas, where Lummus will operate the electrolyser and manage the balance of plant systems. Advanced Ionics will provide its innovative electrolyser, designed to deliver high-efficiency hydrogen production with reduced energy requirements.
Ignacio Bincaz, chief executive officer, Advanced Ionics, said: "Our collaboration with Lummus demonstrates the power of partnerships in driving the energy transition forward. 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."
In 2024, Lummus and Advanced Ionics established a partnership to advance production and commercialisation of cost-effective and sustainable hydrogen technology. The pilot project builds on this partnership and will serve as a critical step toward commercial deployment. Green hydrogen is widely recognised as a key enabler for decarbonising industrial processes, transportation and power generation.
