IdaTech's capability to produce hydrogen onsite, as needed using convenient liquid fuel from its XTR fuel reformer, has proven to be a significant differentiator in attracting new partners. Many parts of Asia and Latin America experience high hydrogen prices and have remote regions that make delivery of hydrogen difficult or impractical. The challenge of hydrogen supply can present a barrier to high volume adoption of fuel cells in these areas. However, IdaTech's reforming capability provides a means for breaking through that barrier and providing long run fuel cell power supplies by generating hydrogen onsite.

"Latin America and Asia are two areas with high growth prospects for wireless communications. Additionally, these geographies tend to have less reliable electric grid systems and experience high temperatures that limit traditional battery solutions. These types of conditions are ideal for IdaTech's fuel cell solution with reforming capability. Adding these three partners to our network is a key step toward capitalizing on this opportunity," said IdaTech President and CEO Hal Koyama. "These agreements, combined with the recently signed marketing agreement with Chloride PLC demonstrate the expansion of IdaTech's commercial network for its fuel cell products."
