Why Methanol Reformer

Simplify hydrogen deployment. Generate hydrogen and power on-site

Decentralized hydrogen and power generation for environments where traditional infrastructure cannot reach.

Hydrogen deployment is still constrained by logistics, infrastructure and cost barriers that limit real-world adoption.

Methanol Reformer designs and manufactures compact systems that convert methanol into high-purity hydrogen and electricity at the point of use, enabling on-site production and reducing logistics complexity, infrastructure requirements and deployment constraints.

The challenge & our approach

Hydrogen adoption is growing, but large-scale deployment remains constrained by logistics, infrastructure and cost barriers.

Transporting, storing and distributing hydrogen requires complex systems, specialized infrastructure and strict safety management, particularly in remote and decentralized applications.

MReformer addresses these challenges by enabling on-site hydrogen and power generation through methanol reforming, producing hydrogen directly at the point of use and reducing deployment complexity.

FAQs

Why use methanol instead of transporting hydrogen?

Methanol is a stable liquid fuel that can be stored and transported using existing infrastructure.

By reforming methanol on-site, hydrogen can be generated exactly where it is needed, reducing logistics complexity and safety challenges.

MReformer systems can operate with different methanol types depending on project requirements, including conventional methanol, bio-methanol and e-methanol.

This allows companies to progressively transition toward lower-carbon fuels.

Methanol reforming enables on-demand hydrogen production without requiring large electrical infrastructure.

It is particularly suited for decentralized, mobile or remote environments where grid access or high electrical capacity is limited.

Yes. Catalytic reforming is a well-established industrial process used for decades.

MReformer adapts this proven technology into compact systems designed for modern hydrogen and energy applications.

Yes. Systems are designed for industrial reliability and can be deployed in containerized or modular configurations suitable for maritime, mobile and remote environments.

Solutions follow a modular architecture that allows scaling from 150 kW units to multi-megawatt installations by combining multiple systems.
