High Test Peroxide (HTP) for Green Rocket Fuels

Evonik is a leading global supplier of High Test Peroxide (HTP)—highly concentrated hydrogen peroxide grades of up to 98% purity—engineered specifically for next‑generation green propulsion systems.

Marketed under the PROPULSE® trademark, these advanced peroxide formulations offer a sustainable, high‑performance alternative to conventional toxic propellants. Hydrogen peroxide is used as an oxidizer or as a standalone fuel component in mono- or bipropellant systems. These systems enable propulsion solutions based on proven chemistry, potentially leave fewer residues, and meet the growing demands for responsible technology development in the aerospace industry.

PROPULSE® – Our Sustainable Hydrogen Peroxide Solutions for the Aerospace Industry

Hydrogen peroxide manufactured by Evonik has been used for many years as an oxidizer to drive turbine pumps in the fuel systems of the Soyuz launch rocket. Today, PROPULSE® also serves as a direct hydrogen peroxide fuel, supporting the next generation of launch vehicles in the rapidly growing small satellite market. The powerful propellant is not only easy to handle and readily available but also environmentally friendly and non‑carcinogenic—positioning it as a future‑proof pioneer in green rocketry.

Evonik has an extensive track record in producing high test peroxide (HTP) grades engineered specifically for aerospace propulsion applications. These solutions are marketed globally under the PROPULSE® trademark and supplied to customers around the world.

PROPULSE® is more than hydrogen peroxid: it represents a comprehensive package of hydrogen peroxide-based propellant solutions for launchers, upper stages, and sounding rockets, delivering added value and performance to our customers.

At Evonik, customer success is at the center of everything we do. Close communication enables us to understand our customers’ requirements in depth and provide the most effective, solution‑oriented support. With an open‑minded approach to green fuel innovations, we are committed to helping our partners address their most demanding propulsion challenges.
