Green Hydrogen Storage for Buildings: HPS’ Innovative Technology

HPS’ technology for green hydrogen storage in buildings to be first of its kind; company leading the way in decarbonizing building emissions.

As per the article posted in Hydrogen Central,

Home Power Solutions (HPS) is providing Green Hydrogen – Patented HPS Technology, which is the world’s first green hydrogen-based, year-round electricity storage system for buildings available on the market, with the product name Picea.

17 patents have been filed so far ( 5 of those in 2022 alone).

For the first time, homes and businesses can be supplied with CO2 -free electricity from their own roofs all year round.

Buildings are a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for around 30-40% of total emissions. Several companies are developing innovative green hydrogen storage solutions for buildings to help mitigate these emissions. Here are some notable examples:

Redeem Solar Technologies: This startup specializes in solar-powered hydrogen production, combining photovoltaic cells with electrolysis in a single panel. Their technology can be used in buildings to produce hydrogen on-site, minimizing reliance on external energy sources.

Lhyfe: Based in France, Lhyfe produces and supplies green and renewable hydrogen. They are pioneering floating hydrogen production sites, which can be integrated into various energy systems, including buildings.

GKN Hydrogen: GKN Hydrogen focuses on hydrogen storage solutions that are compact, safe, and efficient. They offer metal hydride storage systems that can be integrated into building applications, allowing for scalable hydrogen storage in a compact format. Their solutions are designed to enhance energy efficiency and safety in hydrogen use within buildings.

Sunshine Hydro: Sunshine Hydro is working on advanced energy storage solutions that include hydrogen as a key component. Their projects aim to provide reliable renewable energy, which can be integrated into building energy systems, ensuring that buildings can operate sustainably and efficiently.
