IF YOU SAY THE SKY IS BLUE … 

AND THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT … 

THEN HYDROGEN HAS TO BE …

green.

HY2GEN

THE RISING STAR IN
THE HYDROGEN WORLD

HY2GEN AG develops, finances, builds, and operates plants for the production of green hydrogen, green ammonia, and hydrogen-based e-fuels worldwide. These products are used to create CO2-free or CO2-neutral and competitive fuels and industrial solutions. The first plants are being built in France, Norway, Canada, and Germany. Hy2gen’s goal is to become the market leader in the production of green hydrogen, green ammonia, and green e-fuels for mobility, agriculture, and industry. Founded in 2017, the company’s first-mover advantage is underlined by a current project pipeline in planning and construction of 880 MW and a project pipeline of over 12 GW in development.

GREEN HYDROGEN
ZERO CO2 FOOTPRINT

Green hydrogen offers better ways to decarbonise a range of hard-to-abate sectors – including long-haul transport, chemicals, and even food processing– where it is proving difficult to significantly reduce emissions. It can also help improve air quality and strengthen energy security.

Technologies already available today enable green hydrogen to produce, store, move and use energy in different ways. Its production is carbon-free by 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, much like liquefied natural gas (LNG). It can be transformed into electricity and methane to feed industry and power houses, and into fuels for cars, trucks, ships, and planes. Hydrogen and hydrogen-based fuels can transport energy from renewables over long distances – from regions with abundant renewable resources to energy-hungry clients thousands of kilometers away.

Green hydrogen is produced from the regenerative energy carriers by the safe means of water electrolysis (in this case, the compound H2O molecule is split into its component hydrogen and oxygen in an electrolyser with the help of electric current). The electricity provided for the hydrogen electrolysis is obtained exclusively from renewable sources (i.e. hydropower, wind power, solar energy, geothermal energy, biomass, landfill gas, and sewage gas). Hy2gen AG produces green hydrogen on large scales to address the increasing commercial demands.

Hy2gen AG produces 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

Hydrogen ≠ Hydrogen

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?

GReY Hydrogen

  • Negative CO2 footprint due to fossil resources.

  • Produced mostly via thermic conversion (gas, oil, coal), or „grey“ electricity.

  • Big industrial production facilities needed.

  • Production usually built close to industrial client, not for trading.

Blue Hydrogen

  • Using CO2 Emission Certificates
    to wash Grey Hydrogen , e.g. pressing CO2 into caverns.

  • Negative CO2 footprint due to fossil resources (same as „grey hydrogen“).

  • Produced mostly via thermic conversion (gas, oil, coal), or „grey“ electricity.

  • A commodity in the near future.

Carbon Free Green Hydrogen 
  • Generated via electrolysis using 100% renewable electricity.
  • Meeting industry standards with risk-free production (OHSAS 18001, ISO 14001 and ISO 9001).
  • Flexibility of production sizes, from small/local to centralised industrial facilities.
  • A commodity at competitive price in the near future.
