Leybold Joins H2Hub Summit as Title Sponsor to Advance Hydrogen Aviation
Leybold Takes the Lead in Hydrogen Aviation at the H2Hub SummitHYSKY Society is proud to announce Leybold as the Title Sponsor of the 2nd Annual H2Hub Summit, taking place on March 19, 2025. As a global leader in vacuum and leak detection technology, Leybold provides critical solutions for liquid hydrogen (LH2) storage and transportation, ensuring the integrity and efficiency of cryogenic tanks and fueling infrastructure-key components in advancing hydrogen aviation.
With DOE Funding Paused, Private Industry is Driving Hydrogen Aviation Forward
With cuts to DOE funding and uncertainty surrounding federally backed hydrogen hubs, the industry must move forward with private-sector innovation. Leybold's advanced vacuum solutions for cryogenic hydrogen storage and leak detection are already supporting the transition to hydrogen aviation, helping to develop the infrastructure needed for LH2-powered aircraft, eVTOLs, and fueling systems.
Hydrogen Aviation Needs Cryogenic Storage-Leybold Has the Solution
"Hydrogen aviation requires ultra-efficient vacuum solutions for cryogenic storage, and Leybold's vacuum and leak detection technologies are helping to make liquid hydrogen a viable fuel source for the aviation sector," said Danielle McLean, CEO of HYSKY Society. "Their expertise in maintaining low-pressure, high-efficiency hydrogen storage will be instrumental in scaling the industry."
"Although vacuum is required for making liquid hydrogen feasible from a purely physical standpoint, another critical factor that it supports is at the core of all successful business models: the earnings yield," said Norbert Palenstijn, Product Sales Development Manager at Leybold. "Vacuum helps to assure that the hydrogen remains in the liquid state, maximizing its economic value throughout the supply chain process."
Leybold's Advanced Technology is Enabling Large-Scale Hydrogen Deployment
Leybold's vacuum and leak detection solutions are designed to:
• Enhance hydrogen storage efficiency by maintaining vacuum-insulated environments, minimizing boil-off losses in cryogenic tanks.
• Support safe and large-scale hydrogen transportation by ensuring vacuum integrity in storage and fueling systems for aviation, maritime, and industrial applications.
• Improve leak detection and system integrity for cryogenic and high-pressure hydrogen operations, helping operators maintain safe and efficient hydrogen infrastructure.
VARODRYKE: Mobile, Modular, Leak Testing Dewar Structures
In addition to its vacuum and leak detection solutions, Leybold recently introduced the VARODRYKE to meet the growing demand for mobile, modular vacuum systems. Specifically designed for evacuating and leak testing double-walled (dewar) structures, vacuum chambers, and piping, the VARODRYKE ensures vacuum integrity during manufacturing and maintenance for LH2 applications.
Key Benefits:
• Air-Cooled Design - Operates efficiently without external cooling systems.
• Oil-Free Technology - Prevents contamination and ensures a clean working environment.
• Portable & Versatile - Designed for easy movement within facilities or job sites.
• Energy Efficient - Reduces operational costs and environmental impact.
• Advanced Filtration - Protects the system by blocking dust and particles.
• Process Control - A fast-acting SECUVAC inlet valve maintains vacuum levels in case of power loss.
Exclusive for H2Hub Summit Attendees: Want a VARODRYKE of your own? Seven lucky attendees will win a limited-edition Leybold LEGO kit featuring this cutting-edge technology! Stay tuned for details next week.
Leybold's Cryogenic Technology Supports the Future of LH2-Powered Aviation
Beyond vacuum and leak detection solutions, Leybold also offers advanced cryogenic pump systems that support low-temperature environments critical for liquid hydrogen (LH2) storage and fueling infrastructure. While traditionally used in industrial and research applications, these high-performance cooling systems could play a key role in future hydrogen aviation ecosystems, helping to maintain ultra-cold conditions necessary for LH2-powered aircraft and eVTOL operations.
Leybold's Sponsorship Underscores the Shift to Private-Sector Hydrogen Innovation
As the Title Sponsor of the H2Hub Summit, Leybold will be at the forefront of conversations about hydrogen infrastructure and aviation's path to commercialization. Their participation underscores the growing demand for scalable, private-sector solutions to propel hydrogen aviation forward-regardless of federal funding uncertainties.
Join the H2Hub Summit and Be Part of Hydrogen Aviation's Future
The H2Hub Summit will bring together key industry leaders, hydrogen hub representatives, and private-sector pioneers to discuss the future of hydrogen deployment and commercialization.
Join us on March 19, 2025, as we explore how private industry-led by innovators like Leybold-is driving the future of hydrogen aviation.
