Newly established, Germany-based Heiting is a tech company focused on developing hydrogen
heating for a greener future. Decarbonizing heating is no easy feat and is currently seen as a global challenge, with
Heiting accounting for an estimated 15% of the world's carbon emissions. Heiting aims to do its part overcoming this challenge with its patents-pending H2 heating
system, a safe heating system with an innovative catalytic process. The hydrogen heating company has developed a highly efficient carbon-free forced air
heating system. The system utilizes an innovative catalytic process that converts hydrogen and oxygen
from air into heat. Compared to other heating systems that use hydrogen combustion to produce heat, Heiting's
tech generates no carbon dioxide, nitric oxide or particulate emissions. The only by-product that results from the system's operation is water
What's more, the process the heating system uses is inherently safe because it doesn't
use flammable concentrations of hydrogen at any point of its operation. Heiting's robust, safe and highly efficient hydrogen heating system is also impressive
because it's cost-effective. Heiting designed the system so that it can work using commonly available sources of hydrogen
This means that while it can use high purity grades, it isn't necessary
Additionally, the hydrogen is supplied to the system at around 1.5 bar, about the same
low pressures typical of natural gas supplies. As such, there is no need for costly and energy-intensive compression and storage
We want to play our part in accelerating the transition from fossil fuels towards a
more sustainable future by placing our zero-emissions heating systems at the heart of the clean
hydrogen economy, said Heiting founder Tim Hanig. Hanig added that the company is preparing its tech for the first customer trials, with
a goal to quickly scale to volume production within the next couple of years
The first prototypes are currently being tested and customer trails are slated to begin in
Germany by the end of 2024. Just how innovative is the technology
Heiting's hydrogen heating technology is groundbreaking because it uses several proven existing elements from the automotive and heating industries
Moreover, the system has been designed to be modular and highly scalable, with outputs
of 10,300 kilowatts. This makes it possible to configure the system for an array of various heating applications
including residential buildings, commercial buildings, and industrial buildings. Not only that, but it can reportedly accommodate both new builds and retrofits, portable heating
units, heating systems for commercial vehicles, agricultural greenhouses, and, yes, my favorite
even pizza ovens. Thank you. Would you be okay with hydrogen heating your home
