Elemental Energy launched its latest H2IPO200 & 500 systems at VINCI Group’s Innovation Inspiration Day 2025. These are designed to provide reliable, renewable power and eliminate combustion generators on grid-restricted sites, common in the UK and European construction sector.
Founder and CEO, Michael Patterson says, “It is exciting to launch our new H2IPO models which have been in development over the last 2 years and are now ready for commercial markets. Clean hydrogen power is now a real option to replace fossil fuels.”
The new designs build on the company’s H2IPO100, first introduced in 2024 as a deployable microgrid product for distributed energy sites. The H2IPO hydrogen power series addresses dependence on combustion fuels through a unified energy hub that seamlessly integrates and manages several power sources, such as hydrogen fuel cells.
For the construction sector, this is an alternative to the current “stepping-stone” of battery systems (BESS) charged by combustion generators. The H2IPO’s large integrated BESS matches what you see on most sites today and can be charged via any on-site AC or DC power supplies (capped grid feeds, solar panels, other generators) or its onboard hydrogen fuel cells, from Toyota Motor Europe.
The innovative design delivers:
- Best-in-class footprint
- Enhanced electrical efficiency
- Lower safety zone specifications
- A robust, construction-ready housing
The outcome of H2IPO hydrogen power series is a plug-and-play energy hub with a 15+ year lifespan that greatly streamlines on-site power supply.
Patterson said: “We recognized the need for a one-stop-shop energy hub that optimizes any source of available power and integrates hydrogen fuel cells at optimal efficiency. With H2IPO we have achieved this in an extremely compact and robust product.”
He added that “Replacing the generator was only one piece of the puzzle, we saw the industry struggling with system integration and with getting clean hydrogen fuel to sites. Combined with our hydrogen mini-trailer, H2IPO cuts fuel costs and makes it really simple to power a site with hydrogen.”
Improvements in manufacturability in the new designs now allow expansion of a fleet of power hubs for the UK and EU.
