With this, Legend has said that the collaboration will focus on the entirety of the US including key areas on the west coast, southeast, and northeast markets.

Legend has expertise in transporting hazardous materials and thus has experience working to key safety measurements and, with LIFTE’s expertise in hydrogen project developments, the two could significantly scale the US’ infrastructure.

To achieve this, the companies said they will collaborate to increase the availability of renewable hydrogen to commercial and industrial customers.

Utilising their combined capabilities Legend and LIFTE will jointly service new and existing customers.

Matthew Blieske CEO of LIFTE H2, said, “Together with Legend we will aim to address an increasing demand for cost effective and reliable turn-key hydrogen solutions at scale from companies in the US seeking to decarbonise their operations.

“We are excited to work with both partners and customers motivated to truly accelerate the use of hydrogen and are missing of the capabilities and technology access that we provide.”

Shane Wittig, Vice-President of Marketing and Business Development at Legend, said, “We are excited to work with LIFTE H2 to provide transportation of hydrogen fuel to the North American market.

“There is massive potential for both users and suppliers, and we are confident this collaboration will provide the critical piece of the supply chain to link them together.”
