Hydrogen Infrastructure

Production and refueling, on the same site.

HydrogenXT develops fuel-grade hydrogen plants that make the fuel where vehicles fill up. That removes the most expensive part of hydrogen today: moving it.

The problem

Hydrogen is clean. Delivering it is not cheap.

Most hydrogen is made at large central plants and then compressed or liquefied, loaded onto trucks and driven to stations, sometimes across several states. Gaseous hydrogen is light and bulky, so a tube trailer carries a small fraction of the energy of a diesel tanker. Liquid hydrogen boils off in transit.

Every mile, every handoff and every trailer adds cost before a kilogram reaches a vehicle. For high-mileage trucks and buses, fuel cost drives total cost of ownership more than anything else.

What's on site

Four steps, one footprint.

Each plant is sized to fit a site comparable to a truck stop and combines every step from production to the nozzle.

  1. Produce

    Fuel-grade hydrogen made on site from the feedstock that fits the location.

  2. Compress

    Brought to dispensing pressure for heavy-duty and light-duty vehicles.

  3. Store

    Buffered on site so supply keeps pace with fleet schedules and peaks.

  4. Dispense

    Fueled at the plant, in minutes, with no delivery leg in between.

Why it matters

Take out the delivery leg, and the economics change.

  • No delivery cost. No tube trailers, no long-haul trucking of fuel, no liquefaction for transport.
  • Lower dispensing cost by design. Production and dispensing share equipment, staff and land.
  • Supply you can plan around. Output is reserved through multi-year fuel agreements before a site is built.
  • Fast refueling, full payload. Fuel-cell trucks and buses refuel in minutes, without the weight of large battery packs.

Supply models

One templated plant, three ways to serve you.

  • 01

    On-site

    A HydrogenXT plant with public or fleet dispensing on the same site, positioned on freight and transit corridors.

  • 02

    Near-site supply

    Hydrogen from a nearby HydrogenXT plant delivered a short distance to a customer's dispenser, so the delivery leg stays short.

  • 03

    Behind the fence

    Production and dispensing at your depot, yard, port terminal or campus, sized to your fleet and dedicated to your operation.

Southern California · U.S.–Mexico border

Project in development

East San Diego freight and transit hub

Our core footprint: a 10-tonne-per-day hydrogen production and refueling facility for freight, drayage, transit and ground support equipment at the U.S.–Mexico border.

The hub sits east of San Diego beside the new cross-border port of entry and freight corridor being built between the United States and Mexico, one of the region’s main truck gateways.

It is the template for everything that follows: decentralized, localized, modular and scalable. Production, compression, storage and dispensing share one site, so fuel is made where trucks and buses fill up.

Built for

  • Class 8 and regional freight fleets
  • Cross-border drayage operators
  • Transit agencies and public fleets
  • Ground support equipment: yard tractors, forklifts, gantry cranes and more

Planned capacity. Final design, permitting and schedule depend on site, agreements and approvals.

Where we're starting

Three West Coast locations on the corridors that matter.

Our first sites sit where freight, transit and power demand already concentrate. See all projects.

  • SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

    East San Diego, at the U.S.–Mexico border

    A 10-tonne-per-day hub for freight, drayage, transit and ground support equipment beside a new cross-border freight corridor.

  • CENTRAL CALIFORNIA

    Interstate 5, between Los Angeles and San Francisco

    A Clean Energy Campus in the San Joaquin Valley for a large Advanced Compute Complex and long-haul trucking.

  • PACIFIC NORTHWEST

    Lewis County, Washington

    A biomass-to-hydrogen Clean Energy Campus on I-5 between Seattle and Portland, powering compute with fuel cells.

The network

Built along the corridors freight already runs.

A fueling network is only as useful as its gaps are small. HydrogenXT plans sites along major interstate corridors, spaced so trucks can run full routes with confidence, starting on the West Coast.

  • WEST

    Interstate 5

    California, Oregon and Washington, anchored by state clean-fuel programs.

  • SOUTH

    Interstate 10

    The southern freight corridor with major port access.

  • NORTH

    Interstate 90

    Northern routes with transit and port demand.

  • EAST

    Interstate 95

    The Eastern Seaboard and its ports.

How a location grows

Reach. Prove. Produce. Repeat.

  1. Reach

    Serve early demand at a location with mobile dispensing supplied from an existing plant.

  2. Prove

    Demonstrated, contracted demand justifies permanent local production.

  3. Produce

    On-site production comes online and the delivery leg disappears.

  4. Repeat

    The template moves to the next site down the corridor.

Site plans, capacities and schedules are developed per location and confirmed in individual agreements. How we approach feedstock and carbon.
