About the Company

Electric Hydrogen

Manufactures large-scale electrolyzer plants for hydrogen

Electric Hydrogen (EH2) designs, builds, and installs large-scale electrolysis plants that produce green hydrogen for heavy industry. Its flagship product is a 100 MW complete electrolyzer plant that can be manufactured in a factory, shipped, and commissioned in about three months. The system uses stacks of electrolysis cells powered by renewable electricity to split water and create hydrogen, offering a no-emissions alternative to fossil fuels. EH2 differentiates itself by delivering much larger, turnkey plants at a lower cost than typical electrolyzers and by accelerating deployment, enabling faster decarbonization of sectors like fertilizer, ammonia, steel, chemicals, and fuels. The company’s goal is to make green hydrogen economically competitive and scalable for industrial decarbonization, supported by significant funding and large-scale projects in North America.
