BCCK and KCE to develop hydrogen fueling tech

Engineering company BCCK and future fuels company Kaizen Clean Energy (KCE) have teamed up to develop generators for hydrogen fueling.

BCCK Holding deals with engineering, procurement, fabrication, and field construction services. On the other hand, Kaizen Clean Energy (KCE) is a hydrogen developer and energy as a service (EaaS) solutions provider.

Under the deal, BCCK will design methanol to hydrogen reformers integrated with fuel cells, battery and/or hydrogen fueling infrastructure. In addition, the parties will deploy mobile hydrogen generators for lease or purchase in the second half of 2022.

By using methanol to hydrogen reformers, these integrated systems will reduce the midstream cost of hydrogen. This will also unlock market potential in hydrogen fueling, EV charging, and microgrid applications.

Kevin Blount, CEO of BCCK, said: “Gas processing and handling is a core competency at BCCK, which supports KCE’s goals of providing safe, reliable and affordable hydrogen and electricity to clients. Combining KCE’s technology with BCCK’s integrated engineering, fabrication, installation, construction and maintenance services lowers the cost of H2 and simplifies our clients’ energy transition needs.”

Eric Smith, co-founder of KCE, added: “We are excited for the opportunity to integrate BCCK’s history of safe and high-quality product development into the hydrogen fueling and EV charging market...We have chosen to work together again due to BCCK’s reputation for first in class fabrication capabilities, meeting the most onerous codes and classifications.”
