Australia-based Hydrexia, a global hydrogen supply company, today announced an agreement with HyGear, supplier of industrial gases and on-site generation systems, to supply hydrogen in Europe.
The hydrogen will be produced by HyGear’s Hy.GEN steam methane reforming (SMR) facilities located across Europe. The agreement between the two companies allows for development and supply of a complete hydrogen generation, storage and distribution system with a lower cost product for customers.
“The partnership with Hydrexia is a great strategic step in our growth towards being the most cost-effective gas supply partner. Our on-site hydrogen and nitrogen supply, together with our gas recovery systems offer a competitive advantage for both the customer and HyGear”, says Marinus van Driel, CEO HyGear.
Hydrexia distribution trailers deliver hydrogen to smaller customers situated around the Hy.GEN hub, which would otherwise not be good candidates for onsite generation. Ground-mounted, solid-state storage systems provide buffer and backup storage for the HyGen backup operations, at about half the CAPEX of traditional hydrogen tube trailers. They also provide reduced OPEX costs, operating at low pressure and being directly refilled by the onsite Hy.GEN system, eliminating the need for trucked in high pressure hydrogen to replenish backup storage.
