GreenHy2 Faces Execution Risks Despite Breakthroughs in Supercapacitor Energy Storage

Quarterly Financial Overview

GreenHy2 Limited (ASX: H2G) closed the March 2025 quarter with $814,000 in cash, down from $1.04 million in the previous quarter. The company reported operating cash outflows of $298,000 and investing outflows of $159,000, partially offset by financing inflows of $230,000. With available financing facilities and cash reserves, GreenHy2 estimates it has approximately four quarters of funding runway at current expenditure levels.

Strategic Contract Wins in Europe

During the quarter, GreenHy2 signed continued contracts with leading European renewable energy suppliers, focusing on its core H2Core Storage technology. These agreements mark a significant step in commercialising the company’s advanced energy storage solutions, particularly its supercapacitor-based battery systems. The new contracts underscore GreenHy2’s growing footprint in the European market, a key region for renewable energy innovation and deployment.

Technological Edge of Supercapacitor Batteries

GreenHy2 emphasized the competitive advantages of its supercapacitor batteries over traditional lithium-ion and hydrogen storage technologies. Key benefits include an exceptionally long operational life of 25-40 years, 100% depth of discharge, full recyclability, and a near-zero fire risk due to thermal runaway. The supercapacitors also boast over 99% round-trip efficiency and rapid charge times measured in minutes rather than hours. These features position GreenHy2’s technology as a potentially disruptive force in the renewable energy storage sector, promising lower total cost of ownership and enhanced safety.

Progress on Major Projects

GreenHy2 continues to advance several significant projects. The Telstra partnership is progressing well, with a $1.5 million commitment to trial a dual hydrogen storage system incorporating GreenHy2’s low-pressure hydrogen (LPH) technology, which offers over 50% cost savings compared to previous hydrogen solutions. Essential Energy has completed a 12-month performance trial with 100% availability and renewable fraction, supporting expansion plans for a 10-unit project. Horizon Power is evaluating a $15 million project to replace diesel power supplies in Indigenous communities, while the Fiji Ministry of Energy is actively discussing diesel replacement programs backed by major international funding bodies. GreenHy2’s supercapacitor solutions have been proposed as a safer, more cost-effective alternative to lithium-ion batteries for these initiatives.

Outlook and Market Implications

The company’s focus on supercapacitor technology aligns with broader industry trends toward safer, longer-lasting, and more efficient energy storage solutions. As supplier availability increases and pricing pressures mount, GreenHy2 expects further cost reductions that will enhance competitiveness against incumbent solar, lithium-ion, and diesel-based power systems. However, the company’s financial sustainability will depend on successful execution of contracts and scaling of manufacturing capabilities. Investors should watch closely for upcoming milestones in project deployments and technology validation.
