Spinoff story
Helium Recapture System Reclaims Hydrogen for Industry Use
A real-world story of NASA technology finding a life beyond the mission.
About this technology
Overview
Under two STTR contracts with Stennis Space Center, Sustainable Innovations LLC, based in East Hartford, Connecticut, built a system that filters, cleans, and pressurizes hydrogen, based on a reverse fuel cell technology. The H2RENEW device will enable industries like glass, steel, and silicon manufacturers to efficiently recycle hydrogen used in production processes. The company also sees an opportunity in the nascent hydrogen-fuel market, and it_s working on two more products based on the same electrochemical platform.
