BCCK Partners With Kaizen Clean Energy To Deploy Hydrogen Generators For EV Charging And Hydrogen Fueling

Feb 17, 2022

BCCK Holding Company (BCCK), a leader in engineering, procurement, fabrication, and field construction services, has partnered with Kaizen Clean Energy (KCE), a leading developer of hydrogen and “Energy as a Service” (EaaS) solutions, to develop pre-engineered solutions for electric vehicle (EV) charging, hydrogen fueling, & power generation.

Under this agreement, BCCK will design and manufacture methanol to hydrogen reformers integrated with fuel cells, battery, &/or hydrogen fueling infrastructure. KCE and BCCK will deploy mobile hydrogen generators for lease or purchase in the second half of 2022. By using methanol to hydrogen reformers, these integrated systems will reduce the midstream cost of hydrogen and unlock market potential in hydrogen fueling, EV charging and microgrid applications.

Kevin Blount, CEO of BCCK said, “Gas processing and handling is a core competency at BCCK, which supports KCE’s goals of providing safe, reliable and affordable hydrogen and electricity to clients. Combining KCE’s technology with BCCK’s integrated engineering, fabrication, installation, construction and maintenance services lowers the cost of hydrogen and simplifies our clients’ energy transition needs.”

Eric Smith, co-founder of KCE, said, “We are excited for the opportunity to integrate BCCK’s history of safe and high-quality product development into the hydrogen fueling and EV charging market. Our team has a long history of working with BCCK, and we have chosen to work together again due to BCCK’s reputation for first in class fabrication capabilities, meeting the most onerous codes and classifications.”
