About us
RE
Hydrogen was incorporated in May 2009 based on 15 years background research and development on electrolysers and fuel cells
technology. RE Hydrogen has won 8 prestigious and highly competitive grants and awards for various projects worth about £1
million in the last 2 years. RE Hydrogen has established several key partnerships with blue chip organisations for cross sectoral
applications of their patented and proven technologies. RE Hydrogen has a strong and highly experienced management
team covering broad competencies from technical, sales, marketing, strategic and financial to realise the commercial
potential.
RE Hydrogen’s USP
Electrolysers RE Hydrogen has developed a low cost, ambient pressure
electrolyser using plastic
materials, ensuring easy modular manufacturing. The
electrodes use an innovative and regenerative non precious metal catalyst. This technology
can operate under variable and intermittent mode for unlimited on-off switching cycle due to its regenative capability
unlike conventional electrolysers. They can produce green hydrogen as low as at £3/kg
H2 subject to the electricity cost.
The retail price of RE Hydrogen's electrolysers is estimated
to be 70% lower than the market price. Due to their low capital cost 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 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.
RE Hydrogen's offerring include 5kW, 25kW, 100kW and even bigger electrolysers in due course
by adding their modular 5kW electrolyser stacks.
Hydrogen Compressor RE Hydrogen can pressurise hydrogen from ambient pressure up to 350
bar in a single stage without mechanical friction at a very low capital cost. The combination of these innovative
technologies offers an ideal solution for high efficiency, durability and cost effective multiple applications, such as energy
storage, grid balancing, hydrogen-fuel and hythane (H2 + CNG) fuel.
RE Hydrogen's
compressor is suitable for compressing any gas including hydrogen air, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, natural gas, syngas
etc. This compressor technology will be used for energy storage in the form of hydrogen storage or compressed air based
energy storage systems.
