FCHEA New Member Introduction

For many around the world, 2021 was quite the rollercoaster year, but for the Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Energy Association (FCHEA), it was a very exciting ride!  Hydrogen energy and fuel cell technology is expanding to every corner of the globe in both established and emerging markets and applications.  As interest has grown, FCHEA has as well, adding an impressive array of new members to our roster (see recent posts here and here).  Since the last update in November, FCHEA is excited to welcome eight additional members to the association. 

Here’s a look at FCHEA’s newest members:

Electric Hydrogen is forging a cost-effective and transformative path to a zero-carbon world for heavy industry. The Company is building the new generation of electrolyzer technologies to enable clean, abundant, and low-cost hydrogen for the hard-to-decarbonize industrial sector. EH2 is led by a team of the world’s leading experts in scaling clean technologies from First Solar and Tesla and backed by top climate technology investors committed to deep decarbonization.

Hy Stor Energy's mission is to develop and advance renewable hydrogen production, storage, and delivery at scale in the United States. Hy Stor Energy is tackling the most complex challenge facing today's energy transition: long-duration storage of renewables at commercial scale to provide energy reliability and resilience in a world increasingly focused on creating a real pathway to zero emissions. By commercializing and operating large-scale, long-duration renewable hydrogen hubs, Hy Stor Energy is creating a model for producing, storing, and delivering reliable carbon-free energy. The company’s inaugural project will be a first-of-its-kind — the Mississippi Clean Hydrogen Hub; coupling on-site renewable hydrogen production and a hydrogen storage hub in underground salt caverns to deliver 100% emission free, flexible, reliable energy that can be dispatched on-demand over days, weeks, seasons, years.
