Company mission
To achieve a clean and sustainable energy future through tackling emissions in hard-to-decarbonize industries.
Our take
People around the world are changing their day-to-day lifestyles to reduce their carbon footprint, from using electric cars and carpooling to reducing their meat intake. Whilst these actions certainly help, lasting change will only come from innovating hard-to-decarbonize industries, a problem that must be solved directly at the source.
To this end, Hgen provides green hydrogen for hard-to-decarbonize industries, focussing on the portion of total global emissions that are best addressed with green hydrogen. Through its engineering solutions, the company claims to enable cheap and abundant green energy, making the switch affordable and sustainable for large businesses and organizations.
Whilst many companies are already migrating to green energy through other startups, Hgen recognizes that the real change needs to take place within the hardest-to-decarbonize industries. By facilitating green hydrogen within these sectors, the company aims to drive the mass reduction of global carbon footprints. It has raised considerable funding to support this by accelerating the commercial deployment of its tech.
