Elemental Energy has launched a new hydrogen tube trailer aimed at supporting applications in hard-to-reach areas in the UK, Europe, and Southern Africa. This innovative system bridges the gap between smaller cylinder bundles and larger tube trailers by offering a capacity to carry 99kg of hydrogen at up to 380 bar. It can be conveniently towed by any vehicle with a towing capacity of three tonnes, including most pickup trucks. The trailer integrates Hexagon Purus' Type-4 cylinders and Elemental's trailer platform, featuring purpose-built regulation and control systems for efficient operation. Available for order with high- and low-pressure regulated hydrogen outlets, the solution is suitable for vehicle refuelling and stationary power applications. Additionally, the trailer includes a control, logging, and monitoring system for real-time tracking of hydrogen levels, fills, and discharges. Michael Patterson, CEO of Elemental Energy, highlighted the importance of this trailer in overcoming challenges in hard-to-reach areas and supporting the growth of the hydrogen economy. The early interest from industry players indicates a positive reception of this innovative solution. Elemental Energy's collaboration with Hexagon Purus to distribute Type-4 cylinders, multi-element gas containers, and distribution products in Southern and East Africa further solidifies their commitment to advancing hydrogen technology in the region.
