Element 1 Corp., TYCROP, and H2 Portable sign MoU to advance hydrogen power solutions

Element 1 Corp. will provide its methanol-steam reforming and hydrogen purification processes, while TYCROP and H2 Portable will contribute engineering, product development, and manufacturing capabilities to integrate these technologies into portable and scalable power generation solutions.

Key objectives

• Development of portable power generation and hydrogen fuelling solutions: The partnership aims to create portable hydrogen fuel-cell systems that can be used in a variety of applications, including remote power generation and emergency backup power, as well as mobile hydrogen fuelling stations.
• Accelerate the adoption of hydrogen power solutions: By integrating Element 1’s methanol-steam reforming processes on-board H2P’s hydrogen-electric power solutions, the partnership aims to bridge the gaps in the adoption of hydrogen clean power solutions where gaseous hydrogen is not abundantly or cost effectively available.
• Commercialisation and market expansion: The collaboration will focus on bringing these innovative solutions to market, targeting industries such as transportation, construction, stationary power, and emergency services.
• Sustainability and environmental impact: By promoting the use of methanol to hydrogen as a practical and easily adoptable clean energy source, the partnership is positioned to support global sustainability goals.

The partnership envisioned by the MoU will enable H2 Portable to enhance an already existing partnership with TYCROP, in which TYCROP designs, engineers and manufactures products on behalf of H2 Portable, by incorporating Element 1 Corp. technology as a part of H2 Portable product offering. Specifically, the partnership will enhance and support H2 Portable presence in two vertical markets: rubber tire gantry (RTG) cranes; and mobile electrical generators for the movie and construction industries.

By incorporating Element 1 Corp. technology, the collaboration will enable TYCROP to design and manufacture next generation hydrogen electric generators for H2 Portable, become a contract manufacturer under ‘preferred partner’ status to Element 1 Corp., as well as supplying other third party customers. TYCROP is uniquely positioned to become a power-house in the quickly expanding universe of low carbon and carbon emission-free electrical generator manufacturing space, as more companies travel down the road to decarbonisation and seek solutions for clean grid independent power.

Dr. David Edlund, CEO of Element 1 Corp., stated: “We are excited to partner with TYCROP and H2 Portable to advance the adoption of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies. This collaboration represents a significant step towards a sustainable energy future.”

Scott Mason, President and CEO of TYCROP, added: “At TYCROP, we have always been firm proponents of 'collaboration from the start,' and this partnership between three leading experts in their respective fields is no exception. By integrating Element 1’s proven technology into H2P’s revolutionary product solutions through TYCROP’s established product design and development process, we create significant value for all stakeholders. Most importantly, this collaboration provides customers a practical and viable path towards clean energy solutions.”

George Rubin, Director of Commercial Operations of H2 Portable, commented: “This MoU marks the beginning of a powerful alliance that will drive the commercialisation of portable hydrogen fuel systems, providing clean and reliable energy solutions for various industries.”
