Complementing the ‘pipeline in the sky’
H2 Clipper has been awarded US Patent 11,236,864 on a new technology that solves the ‘last-mile’ problem of hydrogen distribution, while assuring hydrogen purity.
The patent for a ‘pipe-within-a-pipe’ technology covers the system, method and apparatus for the safe and efficient transport of hydrogen up to 1,600 km inside virtually any existing oil and gas pipeline, water pipe, sewer line, storm drain or other pipelines.
The company's other patented technology, an airship fleet the company refers to as a ‘pipeline-in-the-sky’, represents an efficient end-to-end and scalable way to transport hydrogen globally over long distances.
Together, the two patented innovations provide a comprehensive infrastructure solution for the long-distance transport and ‘last-mile’ distribution of hydrogen worldwide. (ah)
