8 Rivers, a carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technology developer, has partnered with Casale, a Swiss company producing fertilizers and chemicals, to jointly develop their 8RH2 ultra-low-carbon hydrogen technology by integrating a CO2 Convective Reformer (CCR).

The partnership aims to utilize the methane reformer to capture ~99.9% of carbon emissions to produce ultra-low-carbon products, like hydrogen and ammonia.

Casale agreed to serve as the sole CCR supplier for 8 Rivers and deliver the first equipment in 2027 for 8 Rivers’ first commercial deployment, Project Cormorant . 8 Rivers also expects to implement Casale’s ammonia synthesis loop technology in the facility. 

In addition, Casale will provide performance, process, and mechanical guarantees for the CCR equipment for 8 Rivers’ future projects. The partners intend to accelerate hydrogen and ammonia production to meet the high demand for clean energy.
