Hyliion and Victory Execute Letter of Intent to Deploy up to 10 KARNO™ Generators to H2 Energy Group
Hyliion Holdings Corp. and Victory Clean Energy Inc. have signed a non-binding letter of intent for Victory to purchase up to 10 KARNO generators from Hyliion to be deployed in H2 Energy Group's hydrogen production facilities. The generators will produce electricity using hydrogen-rich syngas derived from renewable biomass, with the first five units expected to be received in the second half of 2025. Each generator is capable of producing 200 kW, with a total capacity of 1MW. H2EG plans to purchase an additional five generators if the initial units are successful. The partnership aims to advance global sustainability efforts by leveraging green hydrogen production.
Hyliion and Victory Clean Energy Inc. have entered into a partnership to deploy up to 10 KARNO generators in H2 Energy Group's hydrogen production facilities, indicating a potential expansion of green hydrogen production.
The KARNO generators are fuel-agnostic, modular in design, and have lower maintenance costs and emissions profile compared to conventional technologies, showcasing their efficiency and sustainability benefits.
The agreement between Hyliion and H2 Energy Group demonstrates a commitment to advancing global sustainability efforts through the production of Green Hydrogen from renewable biomass.
The non-binding nature of the letter of intent between Hyliion and Victory poses a risk of the agreement not materializing into a binding purchase agreement, potentially impacting the deployment of the KARNO generators.
The timeline for receiving the first five KARNO generators in the second half of 2025 may lead to delays in the implementation of the generators, affecting the operational efficiency of H2 Energy Group's hydrogen production facilities.
Under the terms of the LOI, H2EG is slated to receive their first five KARNO generators in the second half of 2025, each capable of producing an estimated power output of 200 kW, with a total capacity of 1MW. H2EG also plans to leverage the KARNO generators combined heat and power capabilities and utilize the excess heat to improve efficiencies in their manufacturing process. The LOI also includes the option for H2EG to purchase an additional five KARNO generators upon the successful deployment of initial units.
"Green Hydrogen, generated from renewable or low-carbon sources, plays a vital role in advancing global sustainability efforts. At H2EG, we take pride in producing Green Hydrogen from renewable biomass at competitive economics using existing technologies," said Christopher Headrick, Founder and Executive Chairman of H2EG. "Working with companies like Hyliion further strengthens our leadership in sustainability and enhances the efficiency of our hydrogen production facilities."
The KARNO generator is a fuel-agnostic solution that leverages a linear generator architecture to produce electricity economically and efficiently. Modular in design, the generator is expected to run on a range of fuels such as hydrogen, RNG, biogas, propane, and others, require significantly lower maintenance costs, and have a much lower emissions profile than conventional technologies.
"Hyliion is thrilled to partner with H2EG, whose groundbreaking method for producing Green Hydrogen from renewable biomass is instrumental in propelling clean energy initiatives forward. With our robust architecture and versatility to run on syngas, Hyliion’s KARNO generator will be well-suited for providing reliable heat and power to meet H2EG’s hydrogen production requirements,” said Thomas Healy, Founder and CEO of Hyliion.
The LOI between Hyliion and H2 Energy Group is subject to the execution of a binding purchase agreement. For more information about Hyliion and its innovative electrification solutions, please visit www.hyliion.com.
