GH2's Production Plan
Our production development plan is focused on producing low-cost low-carbon hydrogen based on a three-staged production plan:
- Phase 1: Initially targeting hydrogen produced as a byproduct at existing chemical processing facilities, with initial sales to warehouse distribution centers and industrial gas market
- Phase 2: Development of modularized 5-10 ton/day SMR production facilities with carbon capture, with sales supported via long-term hydrogen supply contracts
- Phase 3: Partnering with electrolysis technology providers and investors to develop renewable powered fueled hydrogen electrolysis facilities

Phase 1: Waste H2
Our strategy is to capture co-produced waste or low value hydrogen from selective existing chemical processing facilities, located near urban areas with growing hydrogen demand and premium pricing.
This “asset and operation light” allows us to invest in hydrogen production facilities that are co-located at existing chemical production facilities minimizing CAPEX and our operations team by using existing facility personnel to manage facility operations.

Phase 2: SMR with CC
Concurrent with the development of our waste hydrogen projects we are developing a parallel national strategy to construct a network of natural gas SMR CC projects to produce gaseous hydrogen supply for a nationwide fuel cell truck-refueling network.
Phase 3: Renewable Powered Electrolysis
As the electrolysis cost curve declines, and surplus renewable energy is available, we will pursue construction of mid to large-scale commercial electrolysis plants. We are currently assessing the use of either dedicated or surplus renewable power, the latter from over-production or grid congestion.
