Downstream: hydrogen exactly where it is needed
We make sure that liquid hydrogen is available in the right form, quantity, and quality.
Downstream creates value for hydrogen - as an energy source, raw material, or fuel.
Hemtron ensures that hydrogen is available in the right form, quantity, and quality exactly where it is needed.
This turns the vision of a hydrogen economy into concrete reality for industry, mobility, and critical infrastructure.
What sets Hemtron apart
With long-term supply contracts, RFNBO-compliant processes, and digital integration into the Hemtron Platform, Hemtron ensures price and supply security across every application area.
Our goal: a reliable, scalable, and emission-free hydrogen supply — from production site to end user.
On-road mobility
Fuel-cell and battery technologies complement each other as two central pillars of climate-neutral mobility. While liquid hydrogen (LH₂) offers range, fast refuelling, and scalability for heavy-duty and long-distance transport, battery-electric drives are an efficient solution for shorter distances and urban applications. Together, both systems enable a powerful, flexible, and future-proof ecosystem for mobility.
Multipurpose filling stations based on LH₂ supply passenger cars, vans, trucks, and buses with emission-free fuel — one infrastructure, many applications.
Benefits of LH₂ in mobility:
- High energy density and long range
- Fast refuelling
- Scalability across European transport networks
- Relief for power grids through flexible energy integration
Aviation & Airports
Liquid hydrogen as fuel for the aviation of tomorrow
- LH₂ provides the energy density and emission-free combustion needed to make short- and medium-haul aviation climate-neutral in the long term
- Hemtron works with partners to develop tailored solutions for LH₂ supply and refuelling at airports — both for ground support vehicles (e.g. tugs, buses, light commercial vehicles) and, in the future, for hydrogen-powered aircraft.
- Airports are considered critical infrastructure that demands maximum supply security.
Self-sufficient power supply & critical infrastructure (including the defense sector)
- Hydrogen secures independent and resilient energy supply — for sensitive and remote sites as well as for security-critical applications. This makes it a central building block for security of supply, climate neutrality, and strategic sovereignty.
- Applications: construction, hospitals, data centres, public authorities, energy hubs, and military facilities
- Benefits: high security of supply and protection against grid instabilities, emission-free backup-power solutions, key role in a resilient European energy supply
- Hemtron provides container/storage solutions that ensure fast and reliable energy supply
Construction machinery and off-road applications
- Hydrogen-powered machines and gen-sets bring decarbonization to places where electrification reaches its limits — for example on construction sites, in heavy industry, or in opencast mining.
- Deployment in generator sets (gen-sets) enables mobile, emission-free energy supply for construction and industrial applications.
- Diesel generators produce high emissions and noise — hydrogen solutions are self-sufficient, clean, and quiet.
- Particularly relevant for: construction, mining and material transport, temporary energy needs (e.g. critical infrastructure, events, backup power)
Industry
- Just-in-time supply: hydrogen is fed directly into industrial processes in the right quantity and quality.
- Energy-intensive sectors in particular (e.g. glass, ceramics) have no electrical alternatives. Hydrogen is the only route to decarbonization.
- Applications: steel industry, chemicals, glass manufacturing, semiconductor industry, and more.
- Partner benefit: reliable supply of a decarbonized energy carrier that supports climate targets and secures competitiveness.
