Make Hydrogen on Site
Micro Electrolysers.
Produce up to 10 kg of hydrogen per day and create a private fuel supply matched to the needs of a small FCEV fleet.
New Zealand Hydrogen can configure micro production with the purification, compression, storage and dispensing needed for an integrated on-site energy or refuelling solution.
A 700-bar configuration can support compatible fuel cell passenger vehicles at the place where they return each day. This gives a business an alternative to waiting for a large public refuelling station or arranging repeated deliveries of compressed gas.
The system is planned around real daily demand rather than the scale of a public forecourt. Production can run steadily, hydrogen can accumulate in buffer storage and vehicles can be refuelled according to the customer’s operating schedule.

More DetailsWhy This Scale Matters
A Practical Starting Point
A small hydrogen project can be commercially useful without becoming a public station or a large industrial plant.
Production of up to 10 kg per day is enough to provide more than one complete fill of a typical 700-bar passenger FCEV, or to support several vehicles receiving smaller daily top-ups. The actual fleet capacity depends on each vehicle’s consumption, distance travelled, reserve policy and refill schedule.
This scale can suit corporate vehicles, rental fleets, local-authority cars, tourism operations, technology demonstrations and businesses that want to introduce FCEVs gradually. A return-to-base operating pattern makes daily demand easier to predict and allows one private installation to serve several users.
The benefit is not only the quantity of hydrogen produced. It is the ability to make fuel locally, control access and establish refuelling where the customer needs it.
How the Complete System Works
Production Is Only the First Step
A vehicle-refuelling installation combines several correctly matched components.
- Produce. The electrolyser uses electricity and treated water to make hydrogen.
- Prepare. The gas is dried or purified as required for the intended equipment and vehicle fuel-quality specification.
- Compress and store. Compression and buffer storage allow hydrogen to accumulate between vehicle visits and provide the pressure needed for dispensing.
- Dispense. Compatible equipment manages the 700-bar vehicle fill using the required connection, controls and fill protocol.
- Monitor. Controls track production, storage, faults and system availability so the operator can plan vehicle use.
Production rate, storage quantity and dispenser performance are separate design decisions. A correctly sized buffer can allow a modest electrolyser to build fuel over time and then support a larger individual fill when the vehicle returns.
Benefits of On-site Supply
Control the Fuel Pathway
On-site electrolysis gives a fleet operator a direct, traceable source of hydrogen at the place where vehicles are based.
Hydrogen can be produced steadily between vehicle visits, stored for planned refuelling and matched to a predictable return-to-base schedule. This gives the operator greater control over fuel availability, energy inputs and future expansion without requiring the scale or public access of a conventional refuelling station.
For suitable sites, a micro electrolyser can provide a practical way to begin using FCEVs now, learn from real operating data and grow production, storage or fleet capacity as demand develops.
Key Benefits
- Start before public coverage arrives. A suitable business does not have to wait for a large company to build a nearby 700-bar station.
- Keep fuel where the fleet returns. Vehicles can be refuelled at the operating base rather than travelling to a distant public forecourt.
- Choose the electricity source. Production can be coordinated with the customer’s electricity contract, renewable generation and operating schedule.
- Reduce delivery dependence. On-site production can limit reliance on cylinders, tube trailers and road access, subject to an appropriate contingency plan.
- Expand in stages. A project can begin with a small number of vehicles and provide a measured basis for later production, storage or fleet growth.
- Know the fuel history. The customer can monitor how and when its hydrogen was produced and how much is available.
Project Planning
Match the System to the Site
Every installation needs a site-specific engineering, safety and commercial assessment.
The starting inputs are the number and type of vehicles, daily kilometres, hydrogen consumption, timing of refills, desired reserve and future fleet growth. These determine production, compression, buffer storage and dispensing requirements.
The project must also confirm electricity and treated-water supply, available space, vehicle movements, separation distances, ventilation, hazardous-area requirements, consenting, equipment certification, emergency response, maintenance access and operator training.
Hydrogen quality and the refuelling protocol must be compatible with the vehicles. A stated 700-bar pressure does not by itself confirm that every vehicle, dispenser or refill pattern is compatible.
