Overview
Hydrogen energy technology has been a part of our scientific work since our founding in 1960.
Hydrogen is the ultimate fuel. It is clean, efficient, and yields more energy per unit of weight than any other existing fuel. Because hydrogen is a major component of water and of hydrocarbons, it is in abundant supply.
We are developing a new, practical approach to storing hydrogen in a safe and economical manner using a family of new efficient metal hydrides based upon our proprietary, atomically-engineered materials technology which stores hydrogen in a solid metal matrix at low practical pressures.
Proprietary ECD Ovonics metal hydrides are alloys that are specifically formulated according to new principles and stored in a storage device. They absorb hydrogen gas, much as a sponge absorbs water. When the metal hydrides absorb hydrogen, they release heat. Conversely, when they absorb heat, the alloys release the hydrogen-rich fuel to the fuel cell, which can subsequently power a broad range of commercial applications. By using ECD Ovonics atomic engineering principles, materials can be tailored over a wide range of pressures and temperatures to meet industry needs. The storage system design is based completely on the performance parameters of the application and the needs of the ultimate user of the application.
We are also developing an integrated renewable hydrogen-generation storage system. This system uses our multi-junction PV products to electrolyze water into oxygen and hydrogen and stores the produced hydrogen in metal hydride hydrogen storage devices. This system is being designed for residential or small-scale commercial production of hydrogen which can be used to replace conventional fuels as sources of energy conversion.
