HyGear completed the construction of a hydrogen production system for Buse Gases Ltd. The hydrogen production system is a Hy.GEN Compact. Buse Gases will market the produced hydrogen. The realization of this system increases  the availability of hydrogen in the UK.

“We are happy to have finalized this project for our valued client Buse Gases Ltd. A reliable supply of high-quality process gases is of importance in most industries. Currently, these gases are mainly supplied by road transportation of compressed or liquefied gas with high costs. HyGear offers on-site hydrogen production systems, for cost-effective, reliable, and sustainable hydrogen,” said Henk Kleef, CEO at HyGear.

The realized project at Buse Gases employs a Hy.GEN system including 12 storage cylinders. The system employs steam methane reforming (SMR) technology to produce hydrogen onsite. By producing hydrogen on-site, the Hy.GEN reduces the energy typically spent on transporting hydrogen from centralized plants. A process that involves additional compression, storage, and fuel use for delivery vehicles. The system’s design also minimizes energy loss by incorporating efficient heat management, which captures and reuses heat generated during the reforming process. Therefore, this enhances operational flexibility and reduces environmental impact.

BUSE Gases is a supplier in the industrial and specialty gas markets and they have integrated HyGear’s Hy.GEN system to enhance its hydrogen production capabilities. Buse Gases offers a wide range of products, including industrial gases, and is committed to delivering high-quality products and outstanding service, ensuring reliable and flexible solutions.

“The implementation of the Hy.GEN system, will allow us to achieve and provide a more competitive offering for our existing and new customers for hydrogen and specialty gases. Additionally, the technology increased the sustainability of our business operations while providing additional revenue,” said Dimitris Sfikas, Managing Director at Buse Gases.
