next energy revolution.
next energy revolution.
Our vision is hydrogen as the energy of our lives.
Our goals are the development of projects of renewable electricity resources, the production and application of green hydrogen in logistics, transport and energy.
We are turning the vision of the hydrogen economy into reality. We are creating a vertically integrated value chain based on green hydrogen. We will be among the TOP 5 players on the green hydrogen market in the CEE region.
United Hydrogen helps to build renewable energy sources as profitable and independent
projects and seeks to exploit the synergies of vertical integration into the emerging
hydrogen economy through the production and use of hydrogen.
We develop and manage the implementation of renewable resource projects and complex hydrogen projects.
We are looking for opportunities and we are developing projects that focus on production of hydrogen at the point of consumption.
We are also interested in hydrogen applications and their development through partnerships and we are looking for such partnerships. We are mainly interested in projects using hydrogen in the areas of material handling, logistics/mobility and backup power solutions.
If you want to develop a hydrogen project or if you want to help with the development, contact us.

Hydrogen has an energy density of 39.3 kWh/kg (HHV) or 33.3 kWh/kg (LHV). Simply put, it is 157 times more than batteries which have an energy density of 250 Wh/kg. Hydrogen is the energy carrier of the future and a key factor for the transition to a low-carbon economy. The goal of the European Union is to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. Green hydrogen offers a great alternative to fossil fuels and is essential to ensure energy independence from traditional oil and gas producers. Hydrogen connects a number of sectors and, as an energy carrier, can easily interconnect the energy-intensive sectors of energy, gas industry, transport, and industry.
Green hydrogen refers to hydrogen produced using electrolyzers by splitting water, when the energy required for electrolysis is completely covered by renewable energy sources such as wind, solar or hydropower, and this method is considered the only ecological and climate-neutral way to produce hydrogen. Hydrogen produced in this way is currently the only option for long-term storage of electrical energy in the time period of up to months.
