OUR MISSION
ABOUT HY-HYBRID ENERGY
Since its establishment in 2018, Hy-Hybrid Energy has led several projects in hydrogen, fuel cells and electrolysers across the globe, including the first of its kind in Hungary, the fuel cell bus development project which also includes battery electric buses & hydrogen powered drones development. In another project, we worked with a partner Company to setup a Green Hydrogen Plant overseas. We are also proud to be the world's first in setting-up a platform (International Hydrogen Aviation Conference, IHAC) which gathers leading experts from the aviation sector, discussing the role of hydrogen in decarbonisation, annually. Other ongoing projects include low and high temperature fuel cell systems development for transport, back-up and off-grid applications, hydrogen powered aviation and sustainable aviation fuel development. Hy-Hybrid Energy is also leading an e-SAF project together with consortium of airlines, lessors, airports, fuel suppliers, financers, OEMs, regulators and policy makers.
