Honeywell International (HON - Free Report) has unveiled a new infrared-based technology that helps in the early detection of hydrogen flames and prevents major fires.

HON’s FS24X Plus Flame Detector helps in the protection of workers and facilities from risks related to hydrogen production and use. The technology promotes clean hydrogen, which has a much lower carbon impact than traditional energy sources. It can also detect flames in rainy, foggy or smoky conditions, which makes it an important part of a comprehensive safety program for industrial facilities using hydrogen.

Honeywell aims to advance its sustainability goals by developing innovative technologies and collaborating with companies focused on sustainability. Last month, HON announced a strategic collaboration with energy storage company, ESS Tech, Inc. (GWH - Free Report) to accelerate technology development and market adoption of iron flow battery (IFB) energy storage systems. As part of this agreement, HON has made an investment in ESS Tech.


ESS Tech provides safe, sustainable, long-duration energy storage to advance global decarbonization. Both Honeywell and ESS Tech carry a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

The partnership combines Honeywell’s advanced materials and energy systems expertise with ESS Tech’s market-leading and patented IFB design, building upon each company’s development of energy storage systems.
