Hyliion to Install KARNO Generator at US Energy’s RNG Fueling Station

Hyliion signed a non-binding letter of intent (LOI) to supply a 200 kW KARNO generator to power U.S. Energy’s RNG fueling station, boosting its energy efficiency and enabling further natural gas integration in the commercial transportation sector.

“We believe the KARNO generator will provide a reliable source of electricity, aligning with our sustainability and operational excellence goals,” said Mike Koel, President of U.S. Energy. “Hyliion’s technology supports our customer purpose of Finding a Better Way—making sure we’re always pushing boundaries to create efficiencies and site improvements.”

The KARNO generator is a fuel-adaptive solution, operating with hydrogen, natural gas, biogas, or propane, and uses a linear architecture to economically and efficiently produce electricity. It offers lower maintenance costs and a reduced emissions profile compared to traditional generator units.

“We are excited to collaborate with U.S. Energy, a company that shares our commitment to advancing sustainable energy solutions,” said Thomas Healy, Founder and CEO of Hyliion. “The KARNO generator’s versatility and efficiency make it an ideal fit for U.S. Energy’s RNG station, helping to reduce emissions and optimize energy use.”

In May 2024, Hyliion agreed to deploy up to 10 KARNO generators for Victory Clean Energy’s subsidiary, H2 Energy Group (H2EG). H2EG will rely on the KARNO generators to produce electricity using hydrogen-rich syngas obtained from biomass to power its operations at hydrogen production facilities. The initial five KARNO units will be delivered to H2EG in the second half of 2025, each capable of generating an approximate power output of 200 kW and a collective capacity of 1 MW.

In late April, Hyliion and BayoTech agreed to leverage their power solutions—the KARNO generator and hydrogen production hubs—for current and future customer bases. The KARNO generator is designed for applications such as prime power, renewables matching, and energy arbitrage. BayoGaaS hydrogen production hubs have high-pressure transport trailers and storage hubs to ensure a reliable hydrogen supply chain for its customers. The exclusive partnership will support the installation of KARNO generators at BayoGaaS hydrogen hubs.
