The contract represents a significant breakthrough of Hydrexia’s international business operations into the United States. Leveraging its proprietary technology solutions for commercial and industrial value chains, Hydrexia has been actively pursuing global projects to expand hydrogen applications across diverse use cases. Hydrexia’s low temperature solid-state solution for hydrogen storage for KVH complements its existing magnesium-based metal hydride solution, which is designed for a lower temperature application scenario for hydrogen storage.
“We are extremely excited to have won the contract, thanks to the strong confidence of KVH in our solution,” said Jim Petrecky, the chief commercial officer of Hydrexia LLC. “Our intrinsically safe and compact solution will enable KVH to easily permit expansion of their backup power capacity,” added Petrecky.
“We are pleased to have chosen Hydrexia. Its low temperature hydrogen solution aligns well with our long-term sustainability goals. It will enhance our ability to address emergency power supply needs through a safe and reliable approach,” said Jonathan Lewis, the director of support services at KVH. “We are looking forward to working with the Hydrexia and Apollo teams on this project,” Lewis continued.
