What Hysytech does

Hysytech S.r.l. is an Italian engineering company founded in 2003 and headquartered in Orbassano (Turin), Italy. The company specializes in the design, development, and industrial implementation of turn-key process technologies and equipment for the chemical, energy, and cryogenic gas industries. Its core product lines are Biometano (biomethane production from raw biogas without activated-carbon pretreatment), Bio-LNG (nitrogen-free biomethane liquefaction in modular execution), H2Genio (low-pressure steam reforming for on-site hydrogen from natural gas), and Impianti Speciali (customized skid-mounted or ISO-container plants for industrial, pilot, qualification, and research applications). Through its 2018 acquisition of Stirling Cryogenics, Hysytech also operates a cryogenic technology business with 4,000+ global installations and 6,000 cryogenerators based on the reversed Stirling thermodynamic cycle.

Hysytech generates revenue through four streams: turn-key plant design and construction (one-time project licensing), engineering and consulting services (professional services), operation and maintenance with remote monitoring and spare parts (managed services), and proprietary technology product sales. Pricing is custom and project-specific, with quotes provided on inquiry and contracts typically structured as multi-year agreements. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales: multidisciplinary teams engage directly with industrial customers, and the company supplements this with EU-funded research consortium participation (Horizon 2020, FP7, LIFE) that doubles as a visibility and reference platform.

The company serves four primary segments: industrial manufacturers requiring custom process plants, energy and gas companies in biomethane/bio-LNG/hydrogen, research institutions and universities (via consortium projects), and cryogenic gas users via Stirling Cryogenics. Named commercial and research partners include REC Solar, Climeworks, Avantium, Johnson Matthey, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Fraunhofer Society, Acea Pinerolese Industriale, and Thales Alenia Space. Hysytech holds an ISO 9001 quality management certification and reports over 25 R&D projects between 2005 and 2025.
