Universal Applications Across Industries
The technology’s versatility is impressive. For mobility, it fuels everything from yachts and ships to planes, trains, cars, buses, and trucks. Infrastructure-wise, it supports building networks of hydrogen refuelling stations for land and marine transport. On the commercial front, it powers urban environments, hospitals, remote farms, mining and construction sites, factories, high rises, and offices. Even consumers benefit—units can harness wastewater from showers and sinks to power homes. It’s a truly universal solution, adaptable to a wide range of energy needs.
Technical Advantages That Make a Difference
What really makes Genuine H2’s technology stand out? First, it’s a circular solution, recycling wastewater and seawater to produce green energy and pure water that can be reused or safely returned to the ecosystem. It’s carbon-negative, actively removing carbon from water and converting it into bicarbonates for other industries or long-term storage. The system is custom-fit, meaning it’s purpose-built for specific customer needs—whether that’s a large-scale unit for a company with high energy demands or a modular unit for mobile power. And it’s plug & play, so installation is straightforward across various settings, from homes to fuel stations.
How the Technology Works: A Technical Overview
Powered by renewable energy sources like wind and solar, the electrolysis units extract green hydrogen directly from wastewater or seawater. This hydrogen is then converted into electricity via fuel cells. Meanwhile, the process also produces clean, pure water. The system is made up of three key parts:
- Extraction: Direct hydrogen extraction from seawater/wastewater, eliminating the need for purification and reducing system weight and footprint.
- Storage: A carbon-negative hydrogen cartridge system that stores and delivers energy efficiently, outperforms lithium-ion batteries, and recharges quickly.
- Fuel Cell: Modular, emission-free electricity production with no moving parts, scalable output, and integrated safety features.

Expanding Beyond Marine Mobility
Originally, Genuine H2’s technology was created as a green alternative to fossil-fueled marine mobility—especially for ocean racing yachts that traditionally run diesel motors full time while sailing. But since then, the solution has expanded far beyond that niche. Now, it serves a broad range of markets including residential and commercial sectors, mining, dairy, biogas, tannery, abattoir, desalination, commercial hydrogen, and even health & wellness. It’s a dynamic, evolving technology that’s ready to tackle energy challenges across the board, making green hydrogen accessible and practical for many different uses.
