GeoPura

What GeoPura does

GeoPura Ltd. is a UK-based hydrogen power company founded in 2019 that designs, manufactures, and operates Hydrogen Power Units (HPUs) — self-charging battery systems combining Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cells with integrated battery storage to deliver zero-emission electricity with water and heat as the only byproducts. The product portfolio comprises the 250 kW HPU1, the 500 kW HPU2 scalable to 50 MW via modular 1–4 MW power blocks, and the trailer-mounted HPU-M with up to 100 kg of onboard hydrogen storage that can be deployed in under one hour. HPUs are manufactured in partnership with Siemens Energy at the company's Newcastle headquarters, while green hydrogen is produced at the Croft Farm Doncaster site and the 15 MW HyMarnham Power joint venture with JG Pears in Nottinghamshire, with additional capacity under development at Port of Tilbury and across a European hub established in Denmark.

The company operates an end-to-end hydrogen ecosystem covering electrolysis-based production, a distribution fleet of more than 150 forkliftable hydrogen containers and 80 tube trailers, multi-pressure refuelling infrastructure (LPLVC, 350 bar, and 700 bar), and HPU deployment under a fully managed energy-as-a-service model. Revenue is generated through HPU leasing bundled with hydrogen supply, direct sale of green hydrogen (spot pricing at £36.44/kg LCHS-compliant, contract pricing at diesel-equivalent rates via long-term offtake), and direct HPU sales. Customers span construction (EKFB/HS2, Balfour Beatty, Lower Thames Crossing), film and TV production (BBC, Disney, Netflix, Universal, ProSiebenSat.1), events and festivals, data centres (Equinix), utilities (National Grid), maritime/ports, EV charging, and government and defence (UK MoD, RAF), with channel reach extended through Aggreko and Sunbelt Rentals. The business holds the UK government's inaugural 15-year Hydrogen Allocation Round 1 (HAR1) revenue guarantee and has been announced as the target of a £301.1 million acquisition by Ballard Power Systems, expected to close in H2 2026.

Revenue model

1. Hydrogen Power Unit Leasing: GeoPura leases HPUs to customers on a fully managed basis, providing equipment, hydrogen supply, maintenance, and remote monitoring as an integrated energy-as-a-service offering. Recurring lease revenues combined with fuel supply create high-margin recurring revenue streams.
2. Green Hydrogen Supply and Sales: Sale of low-carbon and green hydrogen fuel to customers including spot pricing (£36.44/kg for LCHS compliant) and contract pricing. GeoPura produces hydrogen at Croft Farm Doncaster and HyMarnham Power JV sites, distributing via fleet of tube trailers and MEGC containers.
3. HPU and Hydrogen Sales: Direct sale of Hydrogen Power Units alongside hydrogen fuel to customers seeking to own rather than lease equipment. Combined with leasing model for flexible customer engagement.

Core offering

GeoPura designs, manufactures, and operates Hydrogen Power Units (HPUs) that combine PEM fuel cell technology with integrated battery storage to convert green hydrogen into zero-emission electricity as a direct replacement for diesel generators. The company also produces, distributes, and supplies green hydrogen fuel alongside hydrogen refuelling infrastructure, delivered primarily as a fully managed energy-as-a-service offering to enterprise customers.

Product overview

GeoPura offers a unified hydrogen power ecosystem comprising three Hydrogen Power Unit (HPU) products and supporting fuel services. The HPU product line includes the original HPU1 (250kW), the larger HPU2 (500kW, scalable to 50MW), and the mobile HPU-M variant for temporary deployments—all combining PEM fuel cell technology with integrated battery storage to convert green hydrogen into zero-emission electricity with only water and heat as byproducts. These core hardware products are supported by complementary services: Low Carbon Hydrogen Supply for fuel delivery, Low Carbon Hydrogen Generation for on-site production, and Hydrogen Refuelling infrastructure. This integrated approach enables end-to-end clean power solutions for sectors including construction, events, film/TV, data centres, maritime, utilities, and EV charging.
