About
Founded in 2021, HiTES Holding GmbH is a private headquartered in Sulzbach-Rosenberg, Germany with approximately 1-10 employees specializing in Hydrogen, Biomass.
HiTES Holding GmbH specializes in hydrogen production and electricity storage through biomass-based steam reforming. The HiTES technology converts dried biomass at 1200°C into synthesis gas, from which high-purity hydrogen is extracted. By-products (CO and methane) are recycled for steam generation and biomass drying, achieving high overall process efficiency. Compared to steam reformation from natural gas, biomass-based production reduces net CO2 emissions by a factor of at least 13. The company has applied for multiple patents on steam reforming using biomass energy and collaborates with Fraunhofer UMSICHT. A pilot plant operated successfully between 2007 and 2013. The industrial demonstration plant design is complete, with commissioning targeted for spring 2027.
