Don't Let Profits Burn Off: How to Monetize Underutilized Gas

As the emissions cap tightens in North American geographies, oil and gas operators are under increasing pressure to find profitable, compliant alternatives. If you’re looking for a way to monetize your underused, stranded, or low-margin sales gas, there’s now a proven solution: convert it into hydrogen, and get paid a fixed rate for it with associated decarbonization revenue streams.

Why Oil & Gas Companies Are Turning to On-Site Hydrogen Production

At ESSNA™, we help oil and gas companies turn under utilized gas into hydrogen using modular technology that's already operational across North America. Here’s why forward-thinking operators are making the switch

1. The Shift in the Energy Landscape: The "120-Day Change"

Over the past few months, massive shifts have reshaped the energy sector. For example wind energy, once heavily subsidized, is no longer viewed as a viable long-term option. It’s now clear: only the most efficient, implementable and carbon-conscious technologies will survive. Supporting the Oil & Gas position.

Meanwhile, while the carbon tax debate continues, the emissions cap has stayed firmly in place in many geographies. In addition, Oil and gas companies can no longer afford to view gas that is not sold down the pipeline as a by-product of oil and marked as a standard cost of doing business — regulators, investors, and the public are demanding cleaner, more efficient operations.

In many cases, sales gas can also be considered a bankable hydrogen feedstock.

Converting gas into hydrogen offers a practical, immediate transition — turning what was once flared or stranded gas or low-margin sales gas, into a valuable, marketable energy resource.

2. Monetize Your Gas — Without the Market Rollercoaster

Natural gas prices are notoriously cyclical. But when you convert natural gas to hydrogen with our system, you unlock steady, fixed revenue — helping smooth out the peaks and valleys of traditional commodity markets.

We pay you a guaranteed rate for the gas you supply. Mitigating daily spot price risk.

3. Modular On-Site Hydrogen Production

Traditional hydrogen production has a major cost problem: transportation. About 64% of the cost of hydrogen today comes from moving it from point A to point B.

Our solution? Produce hydrogen where the gas is, using compact, modular systems — like our 20-foot sea can units — that fit easily on-site.

4. Lower Risk, Greater Compliance

Transporting hydrogen comes with serious regulatory and safety challenges — especially across different U.S. states and Canadian provinces.

That’s why on-site modular hydrogen production is the smarter play. It minimizes transportation risk, reduces regulatory hurdles, and maximizes your ability to stay compliant — without jeopardizing your operations.

Offtake of the hydrogen production is fully contracted on day 1.
