BayoTech is committed to addressing the global need for reliable, cost-effective and low-carbon hydrogen by providing distributed, on-site hydrogen production systems - hydrogen hubs. The technology is modular, scalable, and rapidly deployable covering the hydrogen generation, transport, storage and fueling solutions. When paired with carbon capture or renewable natural gas (RNG), BayoTech offers low-carbon or carbon-negative hydrogen.

BayoTech has the following products:

• Production: Compact in size, the modular systems tap into existing natural gas pipelines or biogas resources to produce up to 1,000 kilograms of hydrogen per day with 99.9% purity.

• Fuel supply:

  • gas-as-a-service (see business model)

• High-Pressure Hydrogen Transport:

  • Gas Transport Modules: The GTM Series relies on high-pressure Type III cylinders to provide a lightweight, high-pressure package for transporting compressed gases. Trailers can be towed with a standard sized pickup truck. GTMs can be used for CNG (can deliver up to 54,000 scf and be towed by pickup truck) or H2.
  • Bulk Hydrogen Transport Trailers: BayoTech’s HyFill line of high-pressure bulk hydrogen transport trailers carries up to three times more hydrogen per load than traditional steel tube trailers. Higher payload means more sites can be refueled from each trailer, lowering transportation costs and increasing driver productivity.
  • G-Pak: on-site fill-in-place hydrogen refueling services for fuel cell vehicles and fuel cell generators.

• High-Pressure Fuel Storage Modules

  • GSM: Ground storage modules produced by BayoTech are ideal for long-term bulk hydrogen storage. The compact container footprint makes for a flexible hydrogen storage option, suitable to support fuel cell vehicle refueling stations, backup power at critical infrastructure sites or on-site hydrogen production.

BayoTech has raised a total of $174.1M in funding over 4 rounds. Their latest funding was raised on Jan 5, 2021 from a Series C round. BayoTech is funded by 5 investors including Newlight Partnners, Fortistar and Sun Mountain Capital. BayoTech has acquired IGX Group, Inc. on Jul 1, 2021.

BayoTech offers a range of commercial solutions, including system leases, and sales, as well as an innovative gas-as-a-service model. The later, BayoGaaS™, provides customers with low-cost hydrogen on demand. Customers pay for fuel by the kilogram and choose from multiple modes of supply.

• BayoTech uses a proprietary small-scale, modular, steam methane reforming (SMR) process. The technology was originally developed at Sandia National Lab.
• Patented reformer uses 20-30% less energy.
• BayoTech’s hydrogen generation systems are designed to operate autonomously and are remotely monitored from a central control room. The system is designed with a target availability of 98% including planned and unplanned maintenance activities.
• Their quality management system for the hydrogen generation system is ISO 9001:2015 certified
• BayoTech’s high-pressure, Type III cylinder-based solutions enable more compressed hydrogen to be stored and transported in a smaller footprint.

BayoTech is focused on the full range of the hydrogen utilization market, with a particular focus on applications where distributed production is beneficial, such as for supplying hydrogen to fuel cells for fleets and equipment (e.g. forklifts). The BayoTech solution covers the hydrogen supply chain: production, transportation, and storage. These are particularly aimed at:

• Fuel Cell Equipment Operators (buses, trucks, drones and backup power systems)
• Industrial Gas Distributors
• Natural Gas Utilities
