Honeywell unveiled Honeywell Protonium™, a cutting-edge suite of AI- and ML-powered technologies aimed at revolutionizing green hydrogen production. This new portfolio aims to significantly enhance efficiency, cut production costs, and improve the scalability of green hydrogen operations.
First Deployment at Aternium’s Hydrogen Hub
The first implementation of Honeywell Protonium™ will take place at Aternium, a leading U.S.-based clean hydrogen producer. Aternium will integrate the suite into its planned Mid-Atlantic Clean Hydrogen Hub (MACH2) – one of seven regional hubs selected for support by the U.S. Department of Energy. The deployment marks a key milestone in scaling green hydrogen as a viable energy solution.
Solving Key Industry Challenges
Honeywell Protonium™ tackles critical challenges in green hydrogen production, including power intermittency, high carbon intensity, and elevated costs.
By incorporating advanced predictive control algorithms, it boosts electrolysis efficiency and streamlines plant design and operations. These advancements support a more sustainable and cost-effective hydrogen economy.
Industry Endorsement from Aternium
“Our choice of Honeywell’s Protonium™ portfolio for our Mid-Atlantic sites ensures top efficiency and safety. Honeywell’s expertise will support safe clean hydrogen production while creating value for communities and investors,” said Andrew Cottone, CEO and Founder of Aternium.
Driving the Future of Clean Energy
“Honeywell is advancing green hydrogen’s commercial viability through better plant design and efficiency. As adoption grows, AI-powered solutions like Protonium™ will be key to electrification and the energy transition,” said Pramesh Maheshwari, President, Honeywell Process Solutions.
Key Components of the Honeywell Protonium™ Suite
The Protonium™ portfolio consists of three integrated offerings designed to optimize green hydrogen plant development and operations:
