Chart Industries is partnering with Element Resources, a leader in green hydrogen production, to advance the adoption of hydrogen and other clean fuels.

The companies said the partnership will use an ‘eco-system’ approach to build out hydrogen fuel supply, distribution, storage and transportation, end user facilities, and associated services in the hydrogen and clean energy sectors utilizing Chart’s industry leading full solution.

Chart and Element began working together in March of 2024 when Element selected Chart to supply its hydrogen liquefaction plant, hydrogen refrigeration technology, cold box design, associated compression/rotating equipment and heavy-duty fueling stations for its Lancaster Clean Energy Center (LCEC) project, a renewable green hydrogen permitted production facility located in the City of Lancaster, Calif.

“Element is looking forward to partnering with Chart as we continue to develop our pipeline of projects and expand existing sites in the future to further develop the hydrogen ecosystem and support industries globally accelerating the adoption of hydrogen and users globally,” said Steve Meheen, CEO of Element Resources. “Chart, a leader in gaseous fuels and liquified gas technology brings a wealth of capabilities with the wide array of hydrogen facility offerings to support the energy transition which complement Element’s green hydrogen production efforts, supporting our mission to make 100% renewable fuel alternatives readily available in the United States.”

Chart Industries’ product and solution portfolio across stationary and rotating equipment is used in every phase of the liquid gas supply chain, including engineering, service and repair and from installation to preventive maintenance and digital monitoring. Chart is a leading provider of technology, equipment and services related to liquefied natural gas, hydrogen, biogas and CO2 capture among other applications.

“Together with Element Resources, we have the potential to accelerate the adoption and deployment of hydrogen by working together to provide customers with a turnkey, full solution offering from hydrogen fuel, storage and transportation to fueling systems and services,” said Jill Evanko, CEO and President of Chart.
