Why Green Hydrogen?
Green Hydrogen is synthesized from water electrolysis and renewable energy sources such as wind energy or solar energy. Ilios Hydrogen produces 100% Green Hydrogen to create a sustainable solution in the renewable green energy ecosystem.
It has no carbon footprint.
Green Hydrogen as a renewable source of energy or fuel is useful because it has:
Green Hydrogen can replace natural gas, petrol, and diesel for:
Green Hydrogen is the solution to reaching the net-zero emission targets which most G20 countries have committed to both at the 24th Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC (COP24) in Paris and more recently at COP26 in Glasgow.
It also enables hydrocarbon-poor countries such as Germany and Italy to carve their own energy independence away from Russia and the Middle East.
It enables countries such as the United Kingdom, which is estimated to have some 40% of all European offshore wind resources, to harness more intermittent renewable power by transforming that clean energy into hydrogen which can be stored and used wherever high power demands are required.
It has no carbon footprint.
Green Hydrogen as a renewable source of energy or fuel is useful because it has:
- High energy to content per unit of weight
- Power to fuel cells in zero-emission vehicles
- Fast tilling time
- High efficiency
- Storage and usage of power converted from wind or solar energy
Green Hydrogen can replace natural gas, petrol, and diesel for:
- All classes of mobility applications such as fuel on trains, planes, public transportation, passenger, and commercial vehicles
- Industrial applications such as heating, cooking, cooling, etc

CORPORATE OVERVIEW
Corporate Overview
With world events providing a greater sense of urgency to transition away from oil and gas into alternate sources of energy and fuel, Ilios Hydrogen identified green hydrogen as the newly preferred backbone energy medium.
Over the last 18 months ago, the green hydrogen production space has seen new project development and financing grow exponentially, making it an exciting new business to develop. Ilios Hydrogen is engaged in the development of greenfield and brownfield sites, typically sites of former power stations or chemical installations, with a view to building and operating green hydrogen production sites.
The immediate focus is to secure sites which are suitable for green hydrogen production with access to sufficient water and electricity from the national electric grids. Unlike wind and solar installations, where sites are virtually limitless, sites appropriate for green hydrogen production are limited in number and will command an increasing value as the global green hydrogen production rapidly expands
