Integrated tech and engineering company Honeywell has launched Protonium, a collection of technologies enabled by artificial intelligence (AI) and powered by machine learning that are designed to make the production of green hydrogen more efficient and scalable.
Honeywell Protonium will first be deployed by Aternium, a US-based large-scale producer of clean hydrogen, which will use the new technologies across its planned Mid-Atlantic Clean Hydrogen Hub (MACH2), one of seven national hydrogen hubs selected by the US Department of Energy, though some are now in doubt under the new administration.
A recent report from US political publication Politico claimed a list circulating within the DOE states blue-state projects could have funding for their Biden-era Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) funding cut, and this would include MACH2.
To help meet industries’ growing energy demands and support a broader range of sources, Honeywell Protonium aims to scale green hydrogen production by tackling key challenges such as power intermittency, carbon intensity reduction, and high production costs.
