H2 Portable Power Corp. is a Canadian equipment and technology supplier founded in 2020 and headquartered in Chilliwack, British Columbia. The company provides hydrogen-electric power systems as a sustainable alternative to traditional diesel generators for industrial clients looking to decarbonize their operations. H2 Portable focuses on applications where grid-tied or battery-only solutions are impractical due to high duty cycles or mobility requirements. The firm's strategy involves partnering with customers to transition from diesel power by developing advanced, zero-emission power systems. The company's product line includes the H2P Beta 100 Genset, a trailer-mounted power module with onboard hydrogen fuel storage designed to replace 150kW diesel generators.
H2 Portable serves several key industries, including port logistics, film production, and construction. The company is engaged in pilot projects with major partners such as DP World Canada and MBS Equipment Co. to validate its technology and gain market insights. A strategic manufacturing partnership with TYCROP Manufacturing Ltd. supports the development, integration, and scaling of its technology. In June 2024, after a terminated amalgamation agreement with Loop Energy Inc., H2 Portable decided to remain a private company to maintain operational agility and speed-to-market. Co-founder David Leger previously founded Loop Energy and is an inventor in fuel cell technologies. The leadership team includes CEO Scott Mason and experienced directors with backgrounds in industrial equipment and investment management.
The business model centers on providing complete, self-contained clean energy power supplies that combine fuel cells with fuel storage. These systems offer performance comparable to diesel in terms of power and refueling time but produce zero emissions, with only water as a byproduct. H2 Portable's solutions address the limitations of battery-only systems, such as energy availability and long charging times. In August 2024, the company signed an MOU with Element 1 Corp. to integrate methanol-to-hydrogen generation technology, aiming to overcome challenges related to gaseous hydrogen availability and cost.
