Upstream - access to clean hydrogen
We secure access to climate-friendly hydrogen through integrated partnerships and on-site liquefaction.
Strategic foundation for hydrogen supply
The upstream area marks the beginning of the hydrogen value chain - this is where the basis for availability, quality, and economic strength is laid. Hemtron pursues a partner strategy with leading producers and energy companies to secure access to low-carbon hydrogen over the long term. Through strategic cooperation with producers from renewable energy, electrolysis, and innovative production pathways, Hemtron builds a robust foundation for Europe's hydrogen supply.
Benefits:
- Higher transport capacity through the use of LH₂ containers (significantly higher energy density compared with gaseous hydrogen)
- We actively drive the first demonstration projects to implementation
- Offtake security via strategic anchor customers
- Strategic partnerships: large-volume hydrogen projects in Europe under evaluation
- Open technology cooperation with partners from all relevant production pathways
- Unlocking energy projects that are hard to connect - through liquefaction and container-based logistics, independent of existing infrastructure
The key to an efficient and scalable hydrogen economy
Liquid hydrogen (LH₂) combines high energy density, easy handling, and efficient logistics. It enables an economic, large-scale supply of green hydrogen: Europe-wide and across sectors. This makes LH₂ a central energy carrier for a climate-neutral future.
Benefits of liquid hydrogen (LH₂)
- High energy density: LH2 has three times the energy density of GH₂
- Efficient transport: ideal for Europe-wide supply chains to the end customer
- Flexible storage: lower footprint and higher storage capacity
- High purity: suitable for sensitive industrial and mobility applications
- Efficient refuelling: fast, low-loss, and safe filling processes
