Frequently Asked Questions

Davy Gas solves the reliability, cost, and scalability problems caused by today’s centralized hydrogen infrastructure. Most hydrogen is produced in a few regions, liquefied, and trucked long distances. This creates supply disruptions, allocation risk, and rising costs for customers who depend on hydrogen. Davy produces hydrogen locally, at or near where it is used, eliminating these structural issues.

Traditional suppliers produce hydrogen at large centralized plants and deliver it by tanker. Davy builds, owns, and operates on-site hydrogen production systems at customer or distributor locations. This removes dependence on trucking, liquefaction, refinery prioritization, and long-haul logistics.

Davy serves:

• Distribution centers using hydrogen forklifts

• Steel and metals facilities

• Data centers and critical infrastructure

• Food and beverage manufacturers

• Semiconductor device and/or advanced manufacturing

• Industrial gas distributors supplying merchant customers

• Any company currently receiving bulk or liquid hydrogen deliveries

If hydrogen is mission-critical to your operation, Davy is designed for you.

Yes. Davy systems are designed to integrate seamlessly with existing hydrogen infrastructure, including forklifts, fuel cells, cylinder fill racks, process equipment, and storage systems. No redesign of downstream equipment is required.

No. Davy owns, operates, and maintains the hydrogen production system. Customers avoid large capital expenditures and technology risk while receiving a long-term hydrogen supply contract with predictable pricing and reliability.

Typical deployments take 9 to 12 months from contract to operation. Systems are modular, skid-mounted, and factory-tested to reduce on-site construction risk and permitting delays.

On-site hydrogen systems typically achieve greater than 95 percent uptime, significantly higher than truck-fed supply chains. Reliability improves because production is decoupled from refinery demand, trucking availability, weather events, and long-distance logistics.

Davy’s systems are modular and scalable. Additional electrolyzers or production capacity can be added as demand grows, without redesigning the site or rebuilding infrastructure.

On-site hydrogen eliminates liquefaction, transportation, boil-off losses, and emergency surcharges. Customers typically see lower and/or more predictable long-term costs, with pricing driven primarily by electricity and water rather than logistics volatility.

Yes. Although hydrogen safety is generally at world class levels, producing hydrogen on-site reduces the need for large volumes of stored liquid hydrogen and frequent tanker deliveries. Systems are designed to meet or exceed all applicable safety codes, with continuous monitoring and automated shutdown protocols.

Davy produces high-purity and ultra-high-purity hydrogen and oxygen, suitable for industrial, mobility, and specialty gas applications. On-site production also reduces contamination risks associated with long-haul transport, and reduces purity risks associated with bulk hydrogen off gases.

By producing hydrogen locally, operations are insulated from supplier allocation decisions, refinery outages, trucking shortages, and regional supply disruptions. This significantly reduces operational downtime risk.

On-site hydrogen eliminates thousands of tanker miles per year and significantly reduces associated CO₂ emissions. Customers achieve immediate Scope 3 emissions reductions without changing how they use hydrogen.  Also, the venting losses from hauling and storing liquid hydrogen are completely eliminated.

Yes. Davy’s model is designed for multi-site rollouts. National and regional customers can standardize hydrogen supply across facilities, improving reliability and cost control at scale.

No. Davy partners with distributors. Systems are often co-located at distributor sites, enabling them to secure supply, improve margins, and serve customers without relying on competitors for hydrogen

By securing local hydrogen and oxygen production, distributors can:

• Eliminate supply constraints

• Enter new hydrogen/oxygen markets

• Support mobility and forklift growth

• Improve reliability for existing customers

• Reduce exposure to price increases and allocations from major suppliers

Davy captures and sells high-purity and ultra-high-purity oxygen as a co-product. One unit of oxygen is produced for every two units of hydrogen produced.  This additional revenue stream improves overall economics and helps reduce the effective cost of hydrogen.

Davy provides full lifecycle operations, including monitoring, maintenance, safety compliance, and performance optimization. Distributors and customers are not required to operate the plant themselves.

Davy typically enters long-term hydrogen/oxygen supply agreements, often 10 years, providing customers with price stability, guaranteed supply, and predictable operating costs.

Hydrogen demand is growing faster than centralized infrastructure can expand. Long-haul delivery is expensive, capital-intensive, carbon-intensive, and increasingly unreliable. Distributed, on-site production is the only scalable way to support industrial growth, mobility adoption, and supply security. Davy was built specifically to deliver that future.
