HY2GEN - LEADING THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION

HY2GEN develops, finances, builds, and operates plants for the production of RFNBOs (Renewable Fuels of Non-Biological Origin) and other PtX-fuels for customers worldwide. The company specialises in the entire product range - from green hydrogen to green ammonia and methanol and other PtX-fuels like SAF.

The first plants are being built in France, Norway, Canada, and Germany. Our goal is to become the independent market leader in the supply of modern PtX-fuels and energy-carriers for industry, transport and power generation.

Founded in 2017, the company’s first-mover advantage is underlined by a current project pipeline in planning and construction of 1,9 GW and a project pipeline of over 12 GW in development.

HY2GEN - What we do

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

OUR PRODUCTS

Hy2gen is about implementing the DBOO (Design – Build – Own – Operate) model across all projects to effectively implement the hydrogen value chain and to ensure that knowhow is continuously exchanged between operations & plant design.

The Products we plan to produce are renewable hydrogen and its derivatives (RFNBOs, e.g., renewable methanol, renewable ammonia, e-kerosene (SAF+).

We will be setting up state-of-the-art technologies (water electrolysis, Fischer-Tropsch, and biofuel synthesis) that have technology readiness levels between 8-9 and are in commercialization. Technological parameters are tailor-made to meet specific requirements of each production facility by worldwide well-known suppliers.

The production sites are located within industrial ecosystems and will contribute and benefit from local/national circular economies and economies of scale.

General location advantages include 100% green electricity (primary feedstock for hydrogen production), process steam and district heating, CO2 feed, water, wastewater treatment, and road/rail infrastructure or direct access to shipping infrastructure.

RENEWABLE HYDROGEN
ZERO CO2 FOOTPRINT

Green hydrogen offers the best ways to decarbonise a range of hard-to-abate sectors. These include long-haul transport, power generation, chemicals, and many energy-intensive industrial sectors where it is proving difficult to significantly reduce emissions with traditional techniques. This way we also want to help improve air quality and strengthen energy security.

Technologies already available today enable us to produce, store, transport hydrogen and then consume its energy. Its production is carbon-free when using 100% renewable energies instead of fossil resources. It can be transported as a pressurised gas or in liquid form by pipelines, ships or trucks. It can be transformed into electricity, ammonia and methane to feed industry and power-plants and be transformed into fuels for cars, trucks, ships, and planes. Hydrogen and hydrogen-based fuels can transport energy over long distances – from regions with abundant renewable resources to energy-hungry clients thousands of kilometres away.

Green hydrogen is produced from the regenerative energy carriers by the safe means of water electrolysis. The compound H2O molecule is split into its components hydrogen and oxygen in an electrolyser with the help of electric current. The electricity provided for the electrolysis-process in Hy2gen-plants is obtained exclusively from renewable sources (i.e. hydropower, wind power, solar energy, geothermal energy, biomass, landfill gas, and sewage gas).

Hy2gen AG  and its subsidiaries produce green  hydrogen  by  means  of  alkaline electrolysis or polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM).

USING GREEN HYDROGEN PRODUCES NO GREENHOUSE GASES, PARTICULATES, SULPHUR OXIDES OR GROUND LEVEL OZONE

CIRCULAR ECONOMY

In the face of mounting environmental challenges, the traditional linear economic model, characterized by a "take-make-dispose" approach, is proving unsustainable in the long run. In contrast, the circular economy presents a sustainable alternative that aims to maximize resource efficiency, minimize waste generation, and foster regional economic participation. We aim to design our businesses in this idea/theory/strategy/ideology of a circular economy, using renewable ressources to convert/refine/enhance them to products the world is in need of and avoiding any non-used residuals from our processes.

What is a Circular Economy?

At its core, a circular economy envisions a regenerative system, using all of the available and renewable resources in order to maintain the value of resources for as long as possible. It promotes a shift from the traditional production models towards one that prioritizes reducing, reusing, recycling, and renewing resources. The circular economy is guided by three key principles:

 

  1. Design for Circularity:
    The circular economy encourages the design and production of products with durability, repairability, and recyclability in mind. This approach emphasizes the importance of materials that can be easily disassembled, reused, or repurposed at the end of their life cycles. We aim to use main sources of required feedstock (eg.: CO2, Nitrogen, Water or Electricity) that is available as close as possible to our sites of production.

  2. Resource Conservation and Closed-Loop Systems:
    A circular economy aims to minimize waste and maximize the value extracted from resources. It emphasizes the importance of recycling and using renewable energy sources, as well as fostering closed-loop systems where waste from one process becomes the input for another.

  3. Shifting Consumption Patterns:
    The circular economy advocates for a shift from the traditional linear consumption model towards more sustainable patterns. It encourages consumers to embrace practices such as sharing, renting, and repairing goods, as well as favoring products with longer lifespans and reduced environmental footprints.  

Guided by these principles, we aim to:

  1. Reduce Environmental Impact:
    By minimizing waste generation and reliance on finite resources, we help to mitigate environmental degradation, conserve natural resources, and combat climate change. We promote the efficient use of materials and energy, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and pollution.

  2. Economic Opportunities and Job Creation:
    We open up new avenues for economic growth and job creation. The shift towards a circular model also reduces dependence on scarce resources, thereby enhancing long-term economic stability.

  3. Enhanced Resource Security:
    The circular economy reduces our reliance on virgin resources. This, in turn, increases resource security, minimizes price volatility, and reduces the risks associated with resource scarcity, creating a strong sustainable growth position for Hy2gen.

  4. Social Benefits and Equity:
    We believe that the circular economy has the potential to foster social benefits by promoting local production and recycling networks. We create employment opportunities in all places where Hy2gen is active – which do include, especially in less favoured regions of the globe, and improve our positive impact to social welfare.

 

The transition to a circular economy represents a fundamental shift in the way we produce, consume and manage resources. By embracing the principles of a circular economy, we can mitigate the environmental impact of our activities, enhance resource efficiency, foster economic prosperity, and create a more sustainable and equitable world. Governments, businesses, and individuals all have crucial roles to play in driving this transformation, and together, we can forge a path towards a regenerative and resilient future. Hy2gen is committed to leading this path.
