Why hydrogen?

Hyzon builds hydrogen fuel cell technology that provides zero-emissions power tough enough for the world’s most demanding jobs — starting with commercial trucking today, and enabling tomorrow’s power generation and energy storage, mining, construction, rail, marine, and airport ecosystems.

 

Fueled by hydrogen, an energy source as powerful as it is accessible. As lightweight as it is energy dense. And as we transition the world to hydrogen energy ecosystems, it can be as affordable as it is abundant.

  • Hydrogen is found everywhere — in water, natural gas, and even garbage. Produce it with renewable resources, and the resulting hydrogen is clean.

  • The most energy-dense molecule on Earth packs power with less weight, making it the perfect fuel for demanding industries where every pound matters.

  • You can refuel your hydrogen-powered vehicles in the about the same time it takes to refill a diesel tank. Less time refueling means more time at work.

Hyzon is partnering with leaders across the hydrogen ecosystem to bring you the fuel to power your needs.

Key Q&A

  • Instead of focusing on gray, blue, or green hydrogen, Hyzon looks at the total carbon intensity of the production process: how much carbon is produced, avoided, or removed? A lower score means decreased emissions, while negative scores indicate that carbon was removed from the environment. Hyzon’s strategy focuses on low-to-negative carbon intensity hydrogen.

  • Hyzon focuses on providing affordable, low-to-negative carbon intensity hydrogen. Depending on the location and amount of hydrogen needed, different types of feedstock might be cleaner or more cost-effective. Hyzon co-invests in a variety of production technologies——so we can use the feedstock that is available within an industry’s operating footprint. Creating a local hydrogen infrastructure that scales as demand grows.

  • At the current early state of adoption, initial fleet deployments by customers require 2-5 tons of hydrogen per day (fueling 40-120 heavy duty trucks per day). By developing hubs that are economically viable—even at low volume—Hyzon is building a highly efficient infrastructure that can scale up to accommodate new customers.

Renewable Hydrogen Case Study

Utilizing Hyzon partner Raven SR’s proprietary, non-combustion renewable fuel production technology, a significant portion of waste from the West Contra Costa landfill will be converted into hydrogen, which will fuel Hyzon customer vehicles.
