About the Company

Utility Global

Converts industrial off-gases into hydrogen

Utility Global produces hydrogen and syngas for hard-to-abate industries using its eXERO platform, which converts industrial waste gases and biogases into high-purity hydrogen or syngas without needing external electricity. Its modular H2Gen, CO-Gen, and AM2H2 systems are designed for on-site deployment, leveraging energy already present in off-gases to reduce emissions and cut transport costs. The company differentiates itself by turning waste streams into valuable fuels and chemicals, with a focus on steel, mobility, chemicals, and refining, and by pursuing commercial-scale projects with partners like ArcelorMittal. Its goal is to accelerate the clean energy transition by providing economically viable decarbonization solutions for industry, including on-site hydrogen production and carbon capture-ready pathways.
