HyCut

HyCut is an innovative, environmentally friendly fuel gas solution for oxyfuel technology, developed by Messer. It uses hydrogen instead of traditional hydrocarbon gases such as acetylene or propane. Since hydrogen contains no carbon, its combustion produces no CO₂ emissions—the only by‑product is water. This makes HyCut an important contributor to decarbonization and sustainable industrial cutting.
HyCut not only results in significantly lower CO₂ and NOx emissions, but also reduces particulate matter, creating a healthier and safer working environment. Thanks to hydrogen’s high flame temperature, HyCut delivers excellent cutting performance. Tests show that, together with specially developed burners and nozzles, it provides cost advantages over conventional fuel gases.
HyCut is also suitable for applications requiring high purity, such as glass processing, because hydrogen causes no carbon contamination. Messer ensures a reliable hydrogen supply, from individual cylinders to large storage tanks, tailored to customer needs.
In short, HyCut offers a sustainable, safe, and high‑performance alternative to traditional fuel gases, with clear benefits for the environment, quality, and cost-efficiency.
