GKN Hydrogen’s 100% recyclable product suite has been developed and refined over the last eight years to become the most reliable and secure hydrogen energy storage solution on the market. The systems generate green hydrogen from fluctuating renewable energy sources and store it compactly and loss-free in metal hydride over long periods of time. When needed, the green hydrogen can be used directly or converted back into electricity and heat for a variety of applications.
The modular system design allows for maximum versatility, from emergency power backup and off-grid energy supply to residential housing, maritime transport, and large-scale industry. This makes GKN Hydrogen an enabler for a decentralized, carbon-neutral energy supply infrastructure.
