Today's primary global energy challenge is to reduce our dependence on depleting - and polluting - fossil fuels. While hydrogen gas and fuel offer an optimal solution, the most critical hurdles are the lack of a viable hydrogen infrastructure.

The on-board production of hydrogen from our unique patented technology will certainly offer an alternative to current processes for the production, storage and transportation of hydrogen, which may well contribute to a thriving hydrogen economy

Hydrogen Power Inc. (HPI) is a Seattle-based alternative energy company that has developed a proprietary method of producing hydrogen called Hydrogen Now™. This patented process safely generates pure hydrogen using aluminum, one of the most abundant and cost-effective natural resources on earth. Hydrogen Now™ combines aluminum, water, and an environmentally friendly catalyst to create a water-split reaction, generating hydrogen on-site and on-demand.

Of course, there are many different ways to produce hydrogen, including natural gas steam reformation (over 96% of current hydrogen production), nuclear, solar, wind, biomass and coal. These methods are not easily mobile, on-demand or on-board, and they do not overcome the infrastructure hurdles.

Our Hydrogen Now™ technology produces hydrogen from water using inert aluminum powder mixed with a catalyst. Hydrogen Now™ addresses the critical infrastructure issues of production, storage and transportation.

Hydrogen Now™

• produces hydrogen on-site and on-demand.
• uses inexpensive and abundant raw materials
• is a clean technology, producing no toxic bi-products or harmful emissions
• operates at safe pressures and temperatures
• unlike competing technologies, such as reformation and electrolysis,
  Hydrogen Now™ does not require use of external energy sources for the creation of hydrogen.
• does not require major changes to existing infrastructures, and can
  be easily adopted by internal combustion engines.
  

Hydrogen Now™ is able to foster the Hydrogen Economy of tomorrow, and the transition that can begin today!
