Problem
Current hydrogen production relies on large, centralized plants that are costly, inflexible, and often powered by non‑renewable electricity, limiting the deployment of green hydrogen in distributed or remote applications.
Solution
DirectH2 develops modular hydrogen production units that integrate photovoltaic (PV) power directly with electrolysis technology. By leveraging licensed university IP, the company creates compact, scalable systems that can be deployed at a variety of sites without extensive infrastructure. The modules are designed for rapid installation and can operate autonomously, converting solar energy into green hydrogen on‑site. This approach reduces capital expenditures, lowers transportation costs for hydrogen, and enables a broader range of customers to adopt clean fuel solutions.
Target Audience
Primary customers include utilities, industrial facilities, and remote energy users seeking on‑site green hydrogen production for fuel, process heat, or storage.
