The story so far, in brief; the legwork, and the full article, stay with the original outlet.
Methanol Reformer has finished the Factory Acceptance Test on its L18, a methanol reformer packed into a container and built for Mitsubishi Gas Chemical. Five people from the Japanese company came to Barcelona to watch, and the unit met every technical requirement it was expected to meet, which is rather the point of the exercise.
Next it ships to Mitsubishi Gas Chemical's plant in Niigata, where it will turn methanol into hydrogen for use on site. Commissioning is planned for the close of 2026. It is the company's first industrial deployment in Japan.
