Elemental Energy unveils its H2IPO200 and H2IPO500 hybrid hydrogen-battery energy storage systems offering compact, scalable, and zero-emission power solutions aimed at eliminating diesel generators on UK and European construction sites with limited grid access.
Elemental Energy has unveiled its latest hybrid hydrogen and battery energy storage system (BESS) solutions, the H2IPO200 and H2IPO500 models, aiming to revolutionise power supplies and phase out combustion generators, especially in grid-limited construction sites across the UK and Europe. The launch at VINCI Group’s Innovation Inspiration Day 2025 highlights the company’s progress in creating sustainable, reliable energy alternatives tailored to the construction sector.
These new systems build upon the foundation laid by the H2IPO100, introduced in 2024, which served as a deployable microgrid product for distributed energy sites. The expanded H2IPO range combines and manages multiple power inputs—including grid power, solar, and wind energy—with hydrogen fuel cells developed in partnership with Toyota Motor Europe. This integration allows the system to deliver consistent, renewable power while significantly reducing reliance on fossil fuels and the emissions associated with traditional diesel generators.
Michael Pattersonx, Elemental Energy’s founder and CEO, emphasised the practical advances embedded in the new designs. He noted the focus on compactness and robustness, delivering what he described as a “plug-and-play energy hub” with a 15-plus year service life. The improved footprint is paired with enhanced electrical efficiency and reduced safety zone requirements, features critical for the constrained environments typically found on construction sites. Pattersonx also highlighted system integration challenges within the industry and the importance of accessible hydrogen fuel. With the company’s complementary hydrogen mini-trailer, the H2IPO series offers a simplified, cost-effective solution to power sites cleanly without the complexities traditionally associated with hydrogen logistics.
Elemental Energy’s product line is further characterised by its flexibility and scalability. The H2IPO microgrid systems are available in modular units, ranging from 200kW to 1.2MW, allowing tailored deployments according to project-specific energy demands. This adaptability extends to their hydrogen storage options, which include towable mini-trailers capable of storing from small to large quantities of hydrogen, facilitating ease of transport and on-site use.
The new hydrogen-BESS hybrid systems crucially address the current limitation of battery systems on construction sites, which are often augmented by combustion generators to ensure power reliability. Unlike conventional setups, Elemental’s microgrid offers the ability to be charged not only via grid or renewables but also internally through hydrogen fuel cells, enabling continuous operation in grid-restricted areas without the noise, emissions, or fuel costs of diesel generators.
In the broader context of energy storage and hybrid solutions, systems like those from iGO2Zero and EG Solar also provide high-capacity battery energy storage with zero emissions and renewables integration, but Elemental’s offering stands out for its hybridisation with hydrogen technology. This combination potentially delivers quieter, cleaner energy with extended duration capabilities and operational efficiency improvements.
Elemental Energy’s advancements reflect growing momentum in the industry toward decarbonising power supplies on-site, especially within sectors where portable, reliable, and low-impact power is essential. Their approach integrates cutting-edge hydrogen fuel cell technology with proven battery storage and renewable energy inputs, offering a viable pathway to eliminate diesel generators that have long dominated construction power needs.
