The updated release reads:
H2SITE HAS COMMISSIONED A MEMBRANE SEPARATOR CAPABLE OF EXTRACTING 5 TO 20% HYDROGEN BLENDS AT +99% PURITY FROM THE GAS DISTRIBUTION NETWORK
- Located in Zamudio (Bizkaia), the separation unit is installed on a natural gas distribution network and operates with hydrogen concentrations ranging from 5 to 20%
- It’s the first installation using palladium-alloy membrane separators reaching 97% hydrogen recovery rate at +99% purity
- H2SITE has built similar units operating at high pressure levels and is developing projects at large scale in Europe.
H2SITE has successfully validated the feasibility of separating hydrogen (H2) blends ranging from 5% to 20% H2 concentration in regional distribution system operator (DSO) Nortegas' gas network, within the framework of the H2SAREA project.
The injection of hydrogen into the natural gas network is a solution that allows to leverage on existing infrastructure to transport low-carbon, renewable and pure hydrogen, provided that proper separation of this hydrogen can be carried out at the point of consumption at a limited cost.
The several million kilometers of established natural gas transport and distribution networks worldwide will be a necessary asset in the transition towards low-carbon energy sources. Through the H2SAREA project, H2SITE has demonstrated that the distribution infrastructure is compatible with the transport of blends of hydrogen and renewable natural gas, enabling the use of both pure fuels in sectors where each adds the most value thanks to our membrane separator technology.
"The palladium membrane separators technology employed by H2SITE enables us to produce high-purity hydrogen suitable for fuel cell applications from blends with very low hydrogen concentrations," according to Andrés Galnares, CEO of H2SITE. "We have achieved the separation of over 97% of hydrogen at very high purity in the original gas stream while ensuring that the natural gas we deliver complies with the specifications of existing users."
H2SITE is committed to making a significant contribution to the transition towards a cleaner and more sustainable energy matrix, aligning with Nortegas' vision for implementing advanced hydrogen solutions within the natural gas network.
Thanks to the technological validation in H2SAREA, we have taken a significant step forward in low-cost hydrogen transportation solutions.
About H2SITE
H2SITE was created in 2020 and has an exclusive technology of reactors and separators for the conversion of different feedstocks into hydrogen, among which are ammonia, methanol or synthetic gas, in addition to the separation of hydrogen from gaseous mixtures in low concentration for applications in salt caverns or geologic hydrogen.

HyperLight Introduces 400G-per-lane TFLN PICs on its Chiplet™ Platform for Next-Generation AI Interconnects17.3.2026 13:03:00 CET | Press release
HyperLight Corporation (“HyperLight”), creator of the TFLN Chiplet™ Platform, today announced the availability of 400G-per-lane thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) photonic integrated circuits (PICs) designed for next-generation AI networking infrastructure. The new PIC family delivers low insertion loss, low drive voltage operation, and exceptional electro-optic bandwidth, enabling energy-efficient and high-performance 400G-per-lane optical links. The transition to 400G-per-lane is a critical step for future AI infrastructure, enabling higher interconnect bandwidth and improved system density. HyperLight’s 400G-per-lane TFLN PICs provide the large electro-optic bandwidth and low-voltage operation required to support these next-generation optical links, where bandwidth, signal integrity, and power efficiency are increasingly challenging for electronic ICs to sustain. HyperLight’s TFLN devices combine high modulation efficiency with extremely low optical loss, enabling transmitter architec
Klarna Smashes 1 Million Merchants Milestone17.3.2026 13:00:00 CET | Press release
Klarna, the global digital bank and flexible payments provider, has surpassed 1 million merchants globally. Klarna has grown the number of merchants offering its payment methods by 47% in the past year, adding 285,000 merchants in 2025, and more than 115,000 in the final quarter alone.

Armis Warns Cyberwarfare Threats at Global Tipping Point as AI Accelerates Escalation17.3.2026 13:00:00 CET | Press release
65% of IT decision-makers believe the convergence of AI, quantum, and emerging technologies will drive unprecedented escalation in cyber conflict Half of respondents say cyberwarfare threat is imminent and have had to report an act of cyberwarfare to authorities Armis, the cyber exposure management & security company, is warning that cyberwarfare threats have reached a global pressure-cooker moment. As emerging technologies accelerate cyber operations and geopolitical tensions worsen, attackers are increasingly targeting the infrastructure, information, and systems that underpin global stability. “Geopolitical tensions, AI acceleration, and unresolved security gaps are colliding, bringing the state of cyberwarfare to a boiling point,” said Nadir Izrael, CTO and Co-Founder of Armis. “Cyberwarfare is now a constant condition; attackers are operating at machine speed, while too many organizations are still trying to defend themselves with assumptions and structures built for a very differ
