Johnson Matthey and Diffusion Alloys to support the hydrogen supply chain

By partnering, JM and Diffusion Alloys will share their areas of expertise and ensure a robust supply chain for the coated components deployed in JM’s low-carbon hydrogen offering.

Diffusion Alloys has more than 60 years’ experience providing diffusion coating for hydrogen and other clean energy technologies. The coatings protect the equipment in aggressive operating conditions and prevent metal corrosion. The company has embarked on a multi-year strategy to develop its capabilities and capacity globally to meet the supply chain scale-up challenge.

Low-carbon hydrogen is an important growth area for JM. JM’s LCH^TM technology enables the production of hydrogen with up to 99% carbon dioxide (CO₂) capture. The technology has been chosen for several significant projects around the world including H2H Saltend with Linde and Equinor, a 600 MW low-carbon hydrogen production plant in the Humber, UK; HyNet, a leading UK industrial decarbonisation project; and a large-scale low-carbon hydrogen project in North America.

Diffusion Alloys Managing Director, Lisa Randall, welcomed the partnership, praising JM with “foresight in its ambitions in low-carbon hydrogen” and a partnership agreement “that will support the translation of the significant increase in demand for low-carbon hydrogen into successful deployment.”

Dr Phil Ingram, Business Development Director for JM agreed, adding that: “Diffusion Alloys are the best in the world at what they do. Through this partnership we will combine efforts to meet increasing demand for low-carbon hydrogen technologies. This is another important step along our journey to enabling a net zero future through world class technology.”
