Path2 Hydrogen Acquires ProtonH2 to Accelerate Clean Energy Transition
Path2 Hydrogen AG has made a significant move in the clean energy sector by acquiring ProtonH2, a Canadian company specialising in low-carbon hydrogen production. The acquisition, finalised on 30th October 2025, brings together ProtonH2's innovative technology and GenH2's advanced liquefaction and storage systems, aiming to accelerate hydrogen deployment and reduce supply chain costs.
ProtonH2's patented ISHG process produces low-carbon hydrogen for less than $0.75/kg. This process involves injecting dioxygen into disused oil wells to generate hydrogen syngas. The process also 'naturally sequesters' around 15-20% of the carbon dioxide produced. ProtonH2's Project Apollo aims to leverage this technology to produce up to 500 tonnes of hydrogen per day from these wells.
GenH2, already owned by Path2 Hydrogen, specialises in cryogenic storage technology. This technology controls temperature, densification, and pressure to maintain super-low temperatures and recondense hydrogen gas back into liquid, ensuring efficient storage and transportation. By combining these technologies, Path2 Hydrogen aims to build a complete hydrogen supply chain, from upstream production to midstream uses.
The acquisition of ProtonH2 by Path2 Hydrogen brings together leading technologies in low-carbon hydrogen production and liquid hydrogen midstream infrastructure. This combination could significantly accelerate the deployment of hydrogen as a clean energy source, reducing supply chain costs and enhancing the overall efficiency of the hydrogen economy.
