HiTES Holding GmbH was founded with the aim of producing hydrogen and storing electricity, as well as developing, planning, constructing, selling, and operating related facilities.

HiTES technology for hydrogen production is based on allothermal steam reforming using energy from biomass. After separating the hydrogen (H2) from the resulting gas mixture (syngas), the remaining chemical and thermal energy is used to generate and superheat steam. It is also used to dry the biomass. This energy recovery results in very high overall efficiency throughout the process.
