Design Studio Layer led by Benjamin Hubert works in collaboration with Croft to create the Croft system. It is a system of products dedicated to retrofitting vehicles to power up from green hydrogen. The Nanoplant and nanocartridges are the first two prototypes of the system, taking on a look that is similar to a large home battery. The Nanonplant uses water and electricity to create electrolysis.
Layer speaks about the Croft system, explaining that it is “dedicated to creating a blueprint for an enduring, scalable, green-hydrogen economy.” Benjamin Hubert continues, stating that “Batteries are great to decarbonize smaller passenger vehicles that get used in gentle, predictable ways with access to good charging infrastructure […] Hydrogen stores significantly more energy in less space and with less weight than batteries, and it’s much easier to use hydrogen in environments with weak grids or where charging otherwise isn’t available.”
