About the company
Founded in 2010, Absolut System has been designing and manufacturing complex, custom cryogenic equipment for 16 years, capable of operating at extreme temperatures, down to the confines of absolute zero.
Based in the heart of the French Alps, near Grenoble, Europe’s capital of research and innovation, the company has established itself as a benchmark player in high-performance cryogenics.
Both a specialised engineering firm and a manufacturing company, Absolut System masters the entire development cycle: from design to industrialisation, including manufacturing, integration, and commissioning.
This dual expertise, rare in the sector, allows us to turn the challenges of extreme cold into concrete, reliable, and perfectly tailored solutions, where every kelvin counts.
Maritime uses of zero-emission liquid hydrogen
Absolut Hydrogen is developing technologies adapted to the maritime environment:
- On-site liquefaction of LH2;
- Storage on board with zero boil-off and transfer of LH2;
- Filling of LH2 ship tanks.
LH2 enables:
– 3 times the distance travelled, with the same size and weight (including systems), using LH2 for a ship means a gain in range of a factor of 2 to 3 compared with GH2 (gaseous hydrogen).
– save space on board, as the volume taken up by the fuel is reduced, giving more payload space.
– reduce CAPEX & OPEX by not having to resort to compression (regular maintenance & high cost), which is necessary for GH2.

Storage “reduced boil-off”
Absolut Hydrogen is developing a complete range of “reduced boil-off” mobile storage systems. These storages will be integrated into complete ecosystems, enabling full control of the LH2 system.
Absolut Hydrogen offers ZBO solutions for long-distance shipping, thanks to the marinization of its small-capacity liquefiers, which provide a solution for the large masses on board ships.
