Hydrogen as transportation fuel, with its zero tailpipe emissions and higher energy density and performance compared to batteries, offers an unmatched opportunity to decarbonize heavy-duty mobility, which accounts for approximately 6% of the U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. However, for hydrogen to be a viable transportation fuel it must be cost-effective, low-carbon, and available where needed.
H2Gen® is Utility’s innovative industrial decarbonization solution that uses biogas to produce high-purity hydrogen from water. This breakthrough, low-cost, low-carbon intensity method creates a reliable and decentralized ecosystem that accelerates hydrogen adoption in heavy-duty transportation.
Utility’s game-changing modular technology platform produces high-purity hydrogen directly from water - without using electricity or natural gas - creating a clean, decentralized, economical, and scalable hydrogen production pathway.
H2Gen enables cost-effective hydrogen production to be aligned to support the mobility market as it grows.
Today, low carbon hydrogen production remains below 1% of global hydrogen production. H2Gen flips the model, using the electrochemical energy in biogas to split water and produce zero to negative carbon intensity hydrogen.
This process solves two challenges at once:
Reaching cost parity with diesel means optimizing the entire value chain, from production to end use. H2Gen’s modular systems (2–5 tons/day of hydrogen) bring hydrogen generation closer to the point of use, reducing costs, and carbon footprints.
Real progress depends on collaboration across sectors:
According to the EPA, approximately 40% of food in the U.S. goes to waste, with 95% ending up in landfills and contributing to 58% of landfills' methane emissions. Hydrogen production from biogas (biohydrogen) allows landfills to reduce their environmental impact while also generating economic value in the hydrogen economy for the clean mobility sector.

Only 10% of U.S. wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) produce biogas for beneficial use, offering an excellent opportunity for further development. Anaerobic digesters break down nutrient-rich organic sludge, producing biogas. Rather than incinerating or landfilling the sludge, WWTP can generate income-producing hydrogen and reduce their carbon emissions.

Farmers can utilize their agricultural waste, such as crop residue and livestock manure, to produce biohydrogen for the mobility sector. This additional income source can improve the resilience of farms, offset costs of manure management and mitigate harmful emissions to protect their local environment.

Whether you're running a landfill, a wastewater treatment plant, food waste biogas facility, or farm, H2Gen enables cost effective hydrogen production directly from biogas; without the need to first upgrade the biogas to renewable natural gas (biomethane). This greatly simplifies hydrogen production from biogas and lowers total costs. With a small footprint and simple single-process step design, it’s ideal for constrained sites, turning raw biogas into new revenue streams and sustainability wins.
Roughly 40% of U.S. food is wasted—and 95% ends up in landfills, fueling 58% of landfill methane emissions. H2Gen hydrogen production offers a dual benefit: reducing emissions while generating clean fuel for the mobility sector.
Only 10% of U.S. WWTPs currently recover biogas. H2Gen enables plants to monetize waste sludge by producing hydrogen, reducing incineration and landfill use while slashing emissions.
Farmers can use crop residues and livestock manure to create hydrogen, adding income, reducing emissions, and improving environmental outcomes. H2Gen brings new resilience to the ag economy while contributing to clean hydrogen transportation.
H2Gen supports a decentralized hydrogen model, helping stations operate more efficiently and reliably. Decentralized localized production reduces delivery costs and improves reliability and uptime, maximizing assets utilization.
Heavy-duty trucks, buses, and trains powered by hydrogen outperform EVs in range, power and refueling time. With H2Gen, fleet owners get access to economic, zero-to-negative carbon intensity hydrogen, along with fuel savings and ESG performance gains.
OEMs rely on reliable fuel sources to scale hydrogen vehicle rollouts. H2Gen enables economic, decentralized production, accelerating hydrogen adoption in new vehicle classes across regional and national networks.
H2Gen aligns with clean transportation policies for heavy-duty vehicles globally, helping governments and agencies meet climate goals while enhancing energy independence.
The future of clean transportation depends on scalable, economic, and clean hydrogen production. Utility’s fit-for-purpose and decentralized H2Gen systems are built to deliver exactly that - benefiting stakeholders across the supply chain and helping fleets reach zero carbon transportation goals.
Discover how H2Gen is reshaping the future of heavy-duty mobility, one modular plant at a time.
