From the start, nearly 20 years ago, our proven and experienced Canadian technology development team targeted the high cost of hydrogen generation from intermittent electricity sources, including renewable energy. They realized that while some of the world’s brightest minds with strong capital resources were focused on improving cell materials and components, advances in the cell design architecture had garnered very little attention. As a result, the conventional alkaline water electrolyser design had not changed in several decades and resembled the process used for chemicals production (where hydrogen is a by-product). The key issue with the traditional design remains – it was purpose-built to work with steady electricity input and therefore has low operational flexibility. This has its limitations especially when connected with renewable energy resources where availability and pricing vary during the course of the day due to demand.
Our team with a combined 60+ years in water electrolysis has dedicated the last close to 20 years to revolutionizing the design architecture of the electrolyser and has been awarded 40+ patents (more pending) across multiple jurisdictions. Our break-through innovation in cell design architecture provides unprecedented operational flexibility to capture the entire output of intermittent renewable energy using significantly smaller or fewer units than a traditional electrolyser solution.
