GALAXY FCT, a startup accelerated by the 3DEXPERIENCE Lab, pioneering the Solid H₂ Logistics Ecosystem

Challenge

Conventional hydrogen logistics, whether in gas or liquid form, essentially “fight the physics” of hydrogen, resulting in high operating and safety costs and requiring extensive infrastructure at every stage of the supply chain. As hydrogen is expected to play a critical role in global decarbonization, traditional supply chains will struggle to serve areas with low user density or limited demand. With a rapidly depleting carbon budget, constrained time, and finite resources, there is a clear need for an infrastructure-light clean energy ecosystem that can complement other, often infrastructure-intensive, climate solutions.

Disruptive Innovation

Galaxy FCT has developed a patented technology (worldwide patents pending) that enables the rapid and efficient release of hydrogen gas from solid H₂ (NaBH₄), creating a practical Solid H₂ Logistic Ecosystem. By “packaging” hydrogen at the point of production into a solid, energy-dense, non-flammable form that can be stored at ambient temperature without pressure, the technology overcomes the traditional challenges of hydrogen storage and transport. Hydrogen is then released on demand through an exothermic reaction requiring no external energy input.

This innovation supports infrastructure-light, scalable hydrogen logistics. Once production costs are reduced through large-scale renewable energy farms, optimized manufacturing, and NaBH₄ recycling, the system allows high-yield renewable energy sources in remote locations to be harnessed efficiently. Solid H₂ logistics also facilitates the large-scale production of green molecules and complements renewable electricity generation from solar, wind, and other sources.

Galaxy FCT’s approach promises to accelerate the deployment of renewables and provide a versatile, scalable solution for a low-carbon future.

Impact

Making available massive quantities of affordable green molecules in solid form which does not require a massive logistics infrastructure.

Accelerating emergence and growth of the Solid H2 Logistics Ecosystem which enables immediate harnessing of the highest yielding locations on planet earth (typically also uninhabited, with lowest opportunity cost (such locations, hereinafter, “Prime Sites”)) at unprecedented scale to achieve low cost Solid H2.

Strong Economic Incentivization for Continued Climate Collaboration:  Because benefits of massive scale production of Solid H2 at Prime Sites can be enhanced significantly through close collaboration amongst nations in “Joint/Shared Production Ventures”, this can provide an excellent framework to foster greater collaboration amongst nations in the common battle against the ravages of Climate Change.

Leveraging the 3DEXPERIENCE platform

Galaxy FCT could benefit from the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and the software in two key areas:

On the one hand, H2 Generator Development (Design & Simulation): Detailed Design and Simulation of various applications of the H2 Generator (the Reactor which releases H2 gas “on-demand” from Solid form NaBh4) to achieve optimal performance with cost efficiency in various form factors for different applications (e.g. clean emergency back-up energy generators, on-board vehicular units for Trucks, Trains, Ships & Drones/Aircraft, grid stability support, long term and seasonal clean energy storage which goes beyond batteries.)

On the other hand, R&D into Efficient Production of NaBH4/Recycling: Usage of Simulia to facilitate research with collaborating partners into improving the processes for unprecedentedly large-scale production of NaBh4 from renewable energy as well as processes for the recycling/regeneration of “spent” NaBh4 (i.e. NaBO2.XH2O) so that per unit costs of Solid H2 can be brought lower to fast track large scale adoption so that global decarbonization can be fast tracked.

Collaborative & Collective Intelligence

Galaxy FCT is actively seeking collaborations with a wide range of partners and stakeholders to accelerate the development and adoption of the Solid H₂ Logistics Ecosystem. This strategic approach aims to leverage multiple partnerships to reach a tipping point in the industry.

In the academic and research space, Galaxy FCT has initiated collaborations with the University of Malaya on recycling and regenerating “spent” NaBH₄ and is in advanced discussions with the National University of Malaysia on developing improved mesh catalysts for the GFCT H₂ Generator. The company is also exploring opportunities to work with leading professors from top universities in the United States, Europe, Australia, and China to optimize large-scale production of solid H₂ from low-cost renewable energy.

For potential H₂ Generator users, discussions are ongoing with companies exploring applications in emergency backup energy—such as remote vaccine storage, telecommunications towers, and data centers—as well as mobility solutions including e-bikes, buses, trains, mining trucks, UAVs, yachts, and ships.

In the renewable energy sector, Galaxy FCT is seeking collaborations that could capitalize on the large-scale deployment potential of solid H₂ logistics. Such partnerships would create a surge in demand for associated renewable technologies—including solar panels, wind turbines, electrolyzers, batteries, and fuel cells—further accelerating growth across the clean energy ecosystem.
