The National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) program awarded a $305,000 Project Grant to Hydropore Technologies LLC for the development of a compact, portable device that generates clean hydrogen fuel using low-purity water and renewable energy sources. The goal of this STTR Phase I project is to enable small-scale hydrogen users to produce their own hydrogen on-site and on-demand, addressing the challenges and costs associated with traditional hydrogen delivery methods. The innovative two-step electrolyzer approach utilizes activated zinc to produce hydrogen without requiring high-purity water or grid-connected electrical energy. This technology aims to make hydrogen a more accessible and affordable energy source, with applications ranging from hydrogen fuel cell drones and forklifts to heavy-duty trucks. The project has a planned completion date of March 31, 2027.
