Founded by experienced renewable energy technologists and backed by committed mission-driven investors, Electric Hydrogen is building solutions to help cost-effectively decarbonize the massive industrial sectors that we all rely on. At Electric Hydrogen we’re thinking big and with urgency to decarbonize the physical world.

• Led the commercialization of the hydrogen-fueled Thin Flexible Fuel Cell (TFFC), which is a high energy density portable power source for demanding applications such as drones. • Awarded over $400k of government funding and entrepreneurial support including training under Nobel Laureate and inventor of the Li-ion battery, Dr. M. Stanley Whittingham (https://empowerstprogram.com/).• Achieved TRL 3 through TRL 5. Scaled device from 0.25 cm2 to 8 cm2, proved device durability, advanced manufacturing to a new TFFC array structure and demonstrated first integrated flying drone.
