Kinetic7 Technologies, headquartered in Abu Dhabi, says its hydrogen-on-demand system could reduce reliance on imported natural gas and large-scale storage by generating hydrogen only when it is needed.
The company's comments come as Europe faces renewed concerns over gas supplies, with storage levels reported to be below the five-year average for late July, increasing focus on supply resilience, liquefied natural gas competition and the UK's limited gas storage capacity.
Kinetic7 is also developing a domestic version designed initially for off-grid homes, which could provide hydrogen for cooking, hot water and heating.
Rick Parish, founder and chairman of Kinetic7 Technologies, said: "Europe's current gas challenge shows why energy resilience can no longer depend solely on centralised infrastructure, imported fuel and large-scale storage.
Hydrogen produced at the point of use gives governments, businesses and households another route to clean, secure and deployable energy."
