One of the UK's top 16 fast growing cleantech start up companies selected by the Technology
Strategy Board and the UK Trade and Investment for the Clean and Cool Mission to USA.
 Welcome
RE Hydrogen formed in 2009, have 6 patents
pending, ongoing projects worth £1 million and have won 9 competitive grants and awards we
have built significant industrial partnerships and have a strong management team.
RE Hydrogen has two breakthrough
technologies enabling hydrogen production and compression resulting in greater longevity, increased reliability
and efficiency at lower cost. Our business model is B2B (Business to Business) based on selling electrolysers and gas
compressors.
Due to the lack of small hydrogen compressors in the 1-10bar range
it is industry practice to build 10 bar pressurised electrolysers, which increases the cost by 70% compared
to our atmospheric electrolysers. But these 10 bar electrolysers still need a costly compressor to reach
to any meaningful storage pressure e.g. 350 bar or beyond.
Solutions
We
have solved this problem with our own compressor coupled with our electrolyser from 1bar input pressure
up to 350 bar output pressure in a single stage at a much lower cost.
Separately our compressor will be used to
clean and dry syngas and biogas producing bio-methane for gas-grid
injection.
USP
- 70% lower cost atmospheric electrolyser & longer lifespan
for variable operation.
- 70%
lower cost gas compressor, 1 bar up to 350bar compression ratio in a single stage. built to last, greater efficiency. Unique
gas cleaning capability.
- Our
cost of green hydrogen = £3.6/kg H2 ($5.6/ kg). The market price of hydrogen varies from £11/kg to £110/kg H2 ($17/kg to $158/ kg).
- Significantly lower cost, 50% smaller footprint, 3 times longer life, waste free cleaning of biogas
by our compressor, than current gas cleaning methods.
- After producing 99% pure bio-methane from biogas as the primary product, we can
produce highly concentrated (>95%) CO2, a valuable by-product. Market
The 4.size of the existing addressable Electrolyser-Hydrogen
market is £10.5 billion/year ($15 billion/year) within the overall hydrogen market of £150
billion/year ($237 billion/year). But our technologies will increase the current addressable market further
due to its much lower cost and high reliability. Additionally the size of the existing oxygen market is of the
similar size of the hydrogen market.
This compressor can clean
H2S and CO2 from biogas and remove moisture without a conventional dryer to produce high quality, dry
bio-methane up to 99% purity for gas-grid injection at low cost. This compressor can also remove tar from syngas produced
from gasification plants.
Separately the market size of our gas compressor and the industrial gas cleaning
market is even bigger than the total markets of hydrogen and oxygen gas combined. In summary we have several hundreds
billion US dollar markets worldwide for both of our products independently and in together.
Customers
We are in discussion with customers
for large scale and multiple deployment of our low cost electrolysers in the UK and overseas markets. We are also in
discussion with businesses for large scale biogas compression and cleaning projects for gas-grid injection applications.
Partners
RE Hydrogen has
several large industrial partners for various ongoing projects. We are in discussion with several companies
to enter into the international markets via technology licensing for mass production.
We believe to
create a major demand for our breakthrough, affordable and long lasting products by offering innovative schemes
for the end users.

About
us
RE Hydrogen was formed in 2009; we have won nine competitive grants
for projects worth over £1 million; we have six patents pending and established industrial partnership with large companies;
a strong management team is striving to exploit the vast commercial potential of the company.
Electrolysers
RE Hydrogen
has developed an advanced ambient pressure electrolyser using plastic materials, ensuring easy modular manufacturing. The
electrodes use an innovative and non precious metal catalyst and can operate under variable and intermittent mode for unlimited
on-off switching cycle. RE Hydrogen's offerring include 5kW, 25kW, 100kW and even bigger electrolysers in due course.
Due to their low capital cost of the equipment the cost of hydrogen is mainly influenecd by the electricity price.
The electricity contributes 60% of the cost of hydrogen for RE Hydrogen's system. But for conventional 10bar pressurised
electrolysers the electricity contributes only 22% of the cost of hydrogen. Therefore cheaper or free electricity will bring
greater reduction in hydrogen price via RE Hydrogen's electrolysers than conventional systems.
Compressors
RE
Hydrogen can pressurise hydrogen from ambient pressure up to 350 bar in a single stage at a very low capital cost. The combination
of their advanced atmospheric electrolyser and this innovative compressor offer a major breakthrough for low cost hydrogen
production and storage at higher efficiency, durability.
Bio Gas Cleaning
RE Hydrogen's compressor is suitable for compressing
any gas. The unique process facilitates cleaning of H2S and CO2 from biogas at a much lower capital
cost and operational cost than conventional gas cleaning methods. The scalability is very straight forward even up to thousands of
cubic meter of gas flow rate per hour in MW scale applications.

Management Team
Dr Amitava Roy, CEO
& CTO
Amitava formed RE Hydrogen in 2009 based on 15 years experience on electrolysers, fuel cells and renewable
energy. He is the inventor of 6 patents and has won nine grants and awards at RE Hydrogen on this innovative electrolyser
technology for multiple projects worth over £1 million and established several key industrial partnerships. He obtained
his PhD from Loughborough University, UK (2002-2006) on electrolyser and fuel cells and built the UK's first wind-hydrogen
energy storage scheme of 8 MWh capacity using 'conventional' electrolyser as part of his studies. He then worked as
the Manager for AFC Energy Plc from the inception of the company (2006-2010) to develop ultra low cost fuel cells leading
towards commercialisation. He has provided extensive consultancy services in the UK and Europe to the large energy supply
companies, investment banks and commercial organisations via his previous company Bryte Energy (2005-2010) as one of
the founding Directors. Amitava was a Lecturer at the National Institute of Technical Teachers' Training and Research,
India (1995-2002). He is currently a Fellow at Strathclyde University, Glasgow, UK and a regular reviewer of the
International Journal of Hydrogen Energy and the Journal of Power and Energy.
