KATA Project

H2SITE participates in the KATA project, a collaborative R&D initiative led by Iberdrola aimed at developing new technologies across the entire value chain of renewable hydrogen carriers, including hydrogen, ammonia, and methanol. The project focuses on accelerating the decarbonization of hard-to-abate sectors such as maritime transport and the steel industry.

KATA explores innovative solutions for the production, transport, and use of renewable hydrogen carriers, including advanced electrolysis technologies, green ammonia synthesis, and renewable methanol production from captured CO₂. In the maritime sector, the project investigates onboard technologies such as ammonia cracking and methanol reforming systems to generate hydrogen directly on vessels.

Within the project, H2SITE contributes its expertise in membrane reactor technology to support efficient hydrogen production and purification processes, enabling the integration of hydrogen carriers into future energy systems. The project is funded by the Basque Government’s Hazitek program and brings together leading industrial and research partners to advance the development of scalable solutions for a decarbonized energy and industrial landscape.
