Revolutionizing Hydrogen Refueling by Eliminating Losses During Transfer, Storage and Dispensing
Baytown, Tex. and Titusville, Fla. (February 26, 2025) –Taylor-Wharton, a subsidiary of Air Water America Inc., a global leader in cryogenic equipment, has partnered with GenH2, a pioneer in liquid hydrogen technology, to introduce an innovative zero-loss hydrogen storage solution that will redefine the way liquid hydrogen is stored, transferred and dispensed.
Under this partnership, Taylor-Wharton will incorporate GenH2’s ground-breaking Controlled Storage technology into its industry-leading Liquid Hydrogen (LH2) bulk storage tanks. Unlike conventional systems that suffer from hydrogen losses due to boil-off during transfill, storage, and dispensing operations, this game-changing advancement prevents losses before they occur, paving the way for hydrogen as a truly viable alternative to fossil fuels.
This breakthrough arises at a critical juncture when the global demand for clean and sustainable energy solutions is more urgent than ever. Hydrogen as a fuel source is set for significant growth but has not been able to achieve widespread adoption due largely to the issue of hydrogen loss from boil-off. Until now, typical refueling operations have experienced substantial losses, often ranging from 20%-40%. GenH2’s Controlled Storage, born out of the NASA space program, utilizes cryogenic refrigeration and heat removal to eliminate those losses, raising the bar for hydrogen refueling.
Combined with Taylor Wharton’s state-of-the-art vacuum-insulated bulk storage solutions, the Controlled Storage system offers unmatched performance and is a “must-have” for fueling station operators.
“We are excited to introduce a solution that addresses one of the most pressing challenges in the hydrogen industry,” said Eric Rottier, Chairman & CEO of Taylor-Wharton. “Our joint solution will revolutionize liquid hydrogen storage and will provide our customers with the most cutting-edge equipment for hydrogen storage and fueling.”
“We are thrilled to partner with Taylor-Wharton, and we share their commitment to innovation and market leadership,” said Greg Gosnell, CEO of GenH2. “Hydrogen has immense potential, but you can’t lose 20%-40% of your product and expect to be cost competitive. We expect our refrigerated liquid hydrogen storage technology to become the new standard for renewable energy systems and advance clean energy on a global scale.”
