Proton is a provider of on-site hydrogen generation systems and other advanced energy storage technologies. The Company manufactures PEM electrochemical systems to make hydrogen from water in a zero pollution process. Hydrogen is drier, purer and safer to use because there is no inventory of flammable or poisonous gas.

Robert Friedland, Senior Vice President for Proton, told Knobias on Monday, "Hydrogen has applicability in a variety of industrial and energy applications. It is used to cool the windings of large power plant generators because of hydrogen's high heat capacity and low density. Power plants utilizing hydrogen-cooled generators must maintain recommended hydrogen purity and pressure in the generator casing for efficiency, safety, and equipment reliability. Continuous addition of ultra-pure hydrogen from the Company's hydrogen generation system make up for hydrogen seal losses and can optimize hydrogen purity and pressure for best operating performance and uptime."

Mr. Friedland continued, "The Company's on-site HOGEN(R) hydrogen generation systems are a one-box, automated, low maintenance solution to the challenge of industrial hydrogen supply by eliminating the packaging and physical delivery of the hydrogen, instead allowing hydrogen users to make hydrogen at their own location from electricity and pure water."

Proton Energy also offers PEM electrolysis-based fueling stations for light and heavy duty vehicles, including automobiles, forklifts, and buses. These stations are simple to install and operate, deliver high purity hydrogen, and can be integrated with renewable power sources to offer a zero emissions transportation fuel.

This new UNLVRF research grant will allow Proton to focus on critical technology improvements such as increased system and cell stack efficiency, reduced costs through scale-up and manufacturability assessments, and improving the technology to directly interface renewable electricity sources to the PEM electrolyzer. Mr. Friedland added, "These improvements are good for industrial markets but absolutely critical for energy markets especially where renewable electricity generation is being used."

The Company also offers custom hydrogen supply systems for industrial and scientific customers with unique needs. These systems incorporate hydrogen generation systems with ancillary components such as compressors, tanks, metal hydride storage, instruments, blenders or other non-Proton components.
