A Low-Cost, Clean Hydrogen Production Pathway

Connecting Biogas Producers to Hydrogen Off-takers

Utility’s innovative H2Gen industrial decarbonization solution uses biogas to produce high-purity hydrogen from water in a single step. This commercially available breakthrough addresses the key challenges of traditional hydrogen production methods, offering a more effective, scalable and economical path for biogas producers and heavy transport operators alike.

 

 

 

Achieving Zero to Negative Carbon Intensity: A Sustainable Advantage

H2Gen offers an unparalleled opportunity to achieve zero or even negative carbon intensity in hydrogen production. Unlike traditional methods, which often produce significant greenhouse gases, H2Gen’s design inherently eliminates methane slip. This unique capability enables biogas producers and mobility sectors to meet stringent sustainability goals, creating cleaner hydrogen with a significantly lower carbon footprint.

 

Enabling Distributed Hydrogen Production

H2Gen delivers a transformative approach to hydrogen production by using biogas, bypassing the need for electricity or expensive power infrastructure upgrades. This solution supports a decentralized hydrogen production network, enabling even smaller-scale facilities, such as landfills and wastewater treatment sites, to produce clean hydrogen directly on site.

 

Addressing Market Roadblocks for Cost-Effective Hydrogen

Biogas producers and mobility off-takers face limitations in economically producing and using hydrogen. H2Gen removes these barriers with a modular, scalable solution that provides:

• Flexibility for Diverse Applications

  Landfill and wastewater sites that are distant from pipelines or too small for economical Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) production can now create distributed hydrogen on-site.

• Localized Hydrogen for Mobility

  H2Gen’s hydrogen production capabilities fulfill the heavy mobility sector’s demand for accessible, low-cost hydrogen, supporting fleet operators and other mobility providers.

• Energy Independence

  In regions without natural gas resources, H2Gen provides a clean, localized energy source, reducing dependency on imported energy.

• Lower Cost

  H2Gen eliminates extensive CO₂ separation and methane containment expenses, significantly cutting cost.

• Environmental Efficiency

  The H2Gen reactor eliminates methane slip and minimizes greenhouse gas emissions, creating a greener, streamlined production process.

• Compact Footprint

  Designed for easy deployment in small-scale or remote installations, H2Gen fits seamlessly into both urban and rural settings without complex logistics.
