GenH2 and Chart Industries have formed a strategic partnership to jointly market and distribute small-scale H₂ liquefaction technologies globally. Included in the agreement are collaboration on global sales and marketing opportunities, equipment manufacturing and supply, and the deployment of GenH2’s 1,000 kg/d H₂ liquefier.

Demand for distributed H₂ infrastructure has grown significantly and the supply of liquid H₂ remains low or non-existent in some geographies. GenH2’s 1000 kg/d solution will allow for the deployment of a scalable, modular distributed infrastructure that breaks geographic constraints.  

According to the details of the MOU, GenH2 will incorporate Chart equipment into their liquefaction systems, inclusive of storage, heat exchangers and other key components. In addition to its global footprint, Chart also has 60 years of experience manufacturing H₂ equipment that leads the industry in performance and quality. “In a market where supply chain concerns are rampant, this strategic partnership will allow us to meet our growing order list,” said Greg Gosnell, President and CEO of GenH2.

The GenH2 flagship 1-tpd liquefaction system offers 1,000 kg/d of pure para H₂ using technology that is optimized for performance and efficiency. The small footprint of the system was intended to be deployed at the point of demand, providing the user with flexibility and control over their energy source. This partners well as a complement to Chart’s larger H₂ liquefaction capabilities and allows Chart to focus on expanding larger-scale solutions and GenH2 to focus on small, distributed liquefaction systems.

Additionally, the two companies will collaborate to continue to develop industry relationships across the full H₂ value chain as well as pursue new customers where opportunities exist,” said Gosnell. “Our new partnership with Chart will allow GenH2 to accelerate its market expansion plans into new territories.”

“Partnering with GenH2 on technology and equipment is a positive for the industry in furthering H₂ liquefaction options of all scales and for a variety of applications,” said Jill Evanko, Chart’s CEO. “We are excited to collaborate with GenH2 to bring these innovative solutions to market in a safe and efficient manner.”

The agreement follows GenH2’s recent introduction of its GenH2 LS20 Mobile Liquid H₂ System, an end-to-end liquefication system that functions both as a stationary unit, or on
