Our method

We recover surplus heat and convert it into electricity through hydrostatic pressure in a closed, water-based system.

OUR METHOD

How it works

Surplus heat is used to warm a gas that expands and builds hydrostatic pressure. The pressure drives flow and lifting power (kinetic energy), which is then converted into electricity that can be used directly in the process.

PRINCIPLE

From surplus heat to electricity

The Hydrogen Lift method is based on a simple physical principle: surplus heat is not treated as waste, but as a resource that can create useful value. In our closed, water-based system, heat is used to warm a gas that expands. That controlled expansion builds hydrostatic pressure, which activates flow and lifting power in the system.

​

This pressure-driven movement creates kinetic energy. The kinetic energy can then be converted into electricity and fed back into the process—improving overall efficiency without changing the core process itself. The illustration below shows the principle in simplified form to explain the concept (not a technical drawing).

STATUS

Where we are today

Our laboratory prototype in Hudiksvall is up and running. We are now entering the next development step (Prototype Proof of Concept), preparing for larger-scale demonstration together with customers and partners.

BUSINESS MODEL

Licensing for industrial scale

Hydrogen Lift is commercialised through licensing, enabling OEMs and system integrators to implement the method in new or existing industrial installations. Our role is to develop, verify and continuously improve the core method, while partners integrate and deploy it at scale within their systems and customer environments.

​

Our mission is to make recovered surplus heat a practical source of electricity—helping improve overall efficiency, reduce energy costs and support lower climate impact across green hydrogen production and other energy-intensive processes. We work closely with partners during verification and demonstration, building a clear path from prototype to pilot and commercial roll-out.
