The Joint Venture company named, BUSE HyGear Ltd. was set up with the objective to produce, fill and distribute hydrogen in the United Kingdom. It will operate from West Bromwich near Birmingham in the West Midlands at the existing site of Buse Gases Ltd. The company will deploy HyGear’s Hy.GEN technology to produce cost-effective hydrogen and distribute to the existing customers of Buse Gases Ltd, as well as future HyGear’s Gas-as-a-Service customers in the region.
“In order to implement our Gas-as-a-Service model in the UK, we need a reliable and cost-effective source for backup and peak supply in the region for which our Hy.GEN technology can be used effectively. By leveraging Buse’s existing customer base for cylinder hydrogen, this can be done in an economically viable way within a short time frame”, comments Marinus van Driel, HyGear’s CEO.
Buse Group’s CEO Roland Bräkling confirms that, “The UK is a commercially interesting market for cylinder hydrogen and the availability of a local source would allow us to expand on our market share. We believe that the cooperation with HyGear, and the implementation of its Hy.GEN technology will allow us to achieve these goals and provide a more competitive offering for our existing and new customers for hydrogen and specialty gases”.
BUSE HyGear Ltd will commence its initial operations in August 2019. Throughout the course of 2019, the investments in Hy.GEN technology, filling facilities and cylinder racks or trailers will be done. The company is expected to be fully operational in the first quarter of 2020.
