Controlled Storage

Zero Loss to Optimize Energy Potential

Enhancing Hydrogen Longevity

How Controlled Refrigerated Storage Transforms the Hydrogen Economy

Hydrogen is essential for reducing carbon emissions and transitioning away from fossil fuels. However, storage and transfer losses of 20% to 40% limit its cost-effectiveness and widespread adoption. GenH2’s innovative Zero-loss Controlled Storage Technology establishes a new standard for liquid hydrogen (LH2), enhancing its potential as an alternative fuel for transportation, backup power, and energy storage.

Controlled Storage Technology Benefits

Minimized Hydrogen Loss: Subcooling liquid hydrogen reduces losses during transfilling and dispensing.
Lower Pressure, Higher Efficiency: Liquid hydrogen is stored at reduced pressure, which simplifies tank filling and eliminates the need for venting.
Cost Savings: By minimizing losses, fueling stations can store and dispense more hydrogen, which enhances cost competitiveness.
High Reliability: The subcooled liquid prevents cavitation in liquid hydrogen pumps, leading to lower maintenance requirements and improved equipment reliability.

Revolutionizing Liquid Hydrogen Storage

Hydrogen storage has long faced the problem of boil-off, where hydrogen gas escapes from its liquid form as it warms. This creates a significant challenge during transfill, storage, and refueling operations, resulting in substantial losses of usable hydrogen. GenH2’s groundbreaking Controlled Storage Technology, inspired by innovations from NASA’s space program, offers a revolutionary solution. Unlike conventional systems that rely on pressure adjustments, which can lead to further losses through boil-off, GenH2’s technology prevents these losses before they occur.

Turbo Cryo Refrigeration

GenH2’s innovation centers on the RS1500 refrigerator, which subcools liquid hydrogen by reducing its temperature. Unlike traditional systems that depend on pressure for ullage gas and temperature control, the RS1500 refrigerator utilizes over 1,000 watts of cooling power at 20 kelvins to create significantly subcooled liquid, prevent boil-off, and ensure stability during transfer and dispensing.
