Through this unique process, the H2Gen product line will deliver customers reliable, low-cost and low-carbon, high-purity hydrogen. The simple, yet elegant design offers unparalleled feedstock flexibility and highly competitive economics.
Cory Steffek, partner at Ara Partners, commented, “It is not very often that we find a company with the potential to disrupt an entire industry and positively impact the world at the same time. We are confident in Claus Nussgruber’s unique leadership talent and believe his strong track in both the industrial gas and energy transition spaces creates a strong growth trajectory for Utility Global.”
