Developing SAFE and ROBUST Technology for Intelligent
ON-DeMAND Hydrogen Storage
The key to a future society that is healthy and prosperous involves integrating sustainability and environmental compatibility with global ecosystems that employ decarbonised energy capture, storage and utilisation.
Hydrogen is the lightest and most abundant element in the known universe, and its fusion within the sun powers all life on earth. But its in native form, hydrogen gas (H2) is rarely found naturally on Earth and thus is synthetically made. However, its explosive capacity requires highly secure gas cylinders made of heavy-grade steel or layers upon layers of woven carbon with a limiting carrying capacity.
RESR is set to change the way we store hydrogen gas affording it safe for every application from small scale mobile devices to large scale transportation.
The key to this technology is the way the hydrogen is stored. Instead of compressing H2 gas, it is stored as part of a stable molecular compound which, upon contact with a patented catalyst, releases on-demand, a highly clean hydrogen gas stream that can be either combusted using ICE or feed directly into a proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell, generating electricity and H2O as the only by-product.
