Honeywell to bring new carbon capture, hydrogen tech to India
Industrial technology solutions leader Honeywell International has developed several energy transitions and sustainability solutions to reduce carbon emissions and these technologies will soon be made available in India, says Ashish Modi, President, Honeywell India.
Hoenywell, with a revenue worth $35 billion, pioneered solutions in carbon capture, new-age batteries, avionics products, and next-generation refrigerants like hydrofluoroolefins (HFO). It has developed new battery solutions that can last for 12 hours, next-generation refrigerant HFOs, renewable solutions to recycle and produce plastic, catalysts to increase green hydrogen production and thereby reduce cost, etc. More than 60% of Honeywell’s 2021 sales came from ESG-oriented solutions.
Honeywell has developed a new catalyst-coated membrane (CCMs) technology for Green Hydrogen production, which ensures higher electrolyzer efficiency and higher electric current density. The new catalyst is projected to provide a 25% reduction in electrolyzer stack cost. Currently, the company is in talks with electrolyser manufacturers, including in India, to use this technology, Ashish Modi told Fortune India in an exclusive interview.

Honeywell’s green hydrogen technology uses a combination of processes such as pressure swing adsorption (PSA), membrane systems, and cryogenic fractionation to enable hydrogen producers to capture carbon cost-effectively during the hydrogen production process. This recovers 20% more hydrogen than conventional PSA technology, while also reducing energy consumption.
Honeywell has also developed a Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC), a lower-cost solution for long-distance transportation of green and blue hydrogen. Today, more than 15 million tons of CO2 are being captured each year by Honeywell’s CCUS processes, including an advanced solvent carbon capture (ASCC) technology. That is equivalent to the emissions of more than 3 million cars on the road. In the US, Honeywell and EnLink Midstream are working together to develop a carbon capture and transportation solution along the Mississippi River corridor with many large, concentrated sources of industrial CO2 emissions.
