Elemental Energy took part in the Innovation Inspiration Day 2025 of the VINCI Group to introduce its most recent H2IPO200 and 500 systems. intended to replace combustion generators on grid-restricted sites, which are especially prevalent in the construction sector in the UK and Europe, and to provide dependable, renewable electricity.
Founder and CEO, Michael Patterson states “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 company’s H2IPO100, a deployable microgrid solution for dispersed energy sites, was initially released in 2024 and is the foundation of the new designs. By developing a single energy hub that seamlessly integrates and regulates many power sources, including hydrogen fuel cells, the H2IPO series addresses dependency on combustion fuels.
This is a substitute for the present “stepping-stone” of combustion generator-charged battery systems (BESS) in the construction industry. The H2IPO’s sizable integrated BESS is comparable to those found on many sites nowadays and can be charged directly from internal hydrogen fuel cells from Toyota Motor Europe or from any on-site AC or DC power sources (capped grid feeds, solar panels, or other generators).
The innovative design delivers:
- Best-in-class footprint
- Improved electrical efficiency
- Reduced safety zone requirements
- A robust, construction-ready housing
The result is a plug-and-play energy hub with a 15+ year service life that significantly simplifies on-site power delivery.
Patterson stated: “We recognised the need for a one-stop-shop energy hub that optimises 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 attached 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.”
Manufacturability improvements in the new models now enable growth of a fleet of the power hubs for the UK and EU.
