Altergy Systems
Altergy Systems designs and manufactures proprietary proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell systems, collectively known as Altergy Freedom Power™ products. These compact, rugged, high efficiency systems produce power at the point of use -- making reliable, low cost, distributed power generation a reality.
Telecommunications, data centers, and other mission-critical premium power applications benefit greatly from the uninterrupted, on-demand power, peak shaving and load shedding made possible by Altergy’s innovative fuel cell systems. Altergy's patented and validated technology breaks critical fuel cell barriers and shifts not one but three existing paradigms: the perception that all fuel cells are expensive; how fuel cells are designed, manufactured and used; and, of greatest significance, how the 21st century world will be powered.

H2Hold, LLC
H2HOLD, LLC is a company established to promote their patented process of containment for small molecular gasses such as helium and hydrogen. The importance of the process is:
a) Helium is a finite and expensive resource.
b) Current hydrogen containment processes using aluminum or stainless liners are expensive.
Using the H2Hold process allows use of inexpensive blow molded liners and, therefore, dramatically reduces the cost of containing these gases. H2HOLD intends to seek out and collaborate with hydrogen producers and containment manufacturers. H2Hold is also developing concepts for economical hydrogen, and helium, storage systems for use in helium filled, hydrogen powered, lighter than air, vehicles for freight transport, surveillance and communication.
Presently H2HOLD is collaborating with a number of companies to commercialize air transport of freight. It is also reaching out to different sectors of the transportation industry and aerospace developers who can benefit from its light weight and low leakage containment process. Hydrogen producers are also targeted in the development of economical stationary containment and pipeline distribution and storage.
Hy-Drive Technologies
Hy-Drive is an energy technology firm that has developed a proprietary, patented hydrogen generating system. The Hy-Drive system generates and injects hydrogen gas into a regular internal combustion engine, enhancing the combustion process by allowing fuel to burn more efficiently and completely. The result is reduced harmful emissions, reduced greenhouse gas emissions and operator fuel savings.
Hydrogen Discoveries, Inc.
Hydrogen Discoveries, Inc. is an alternative energy research and development start-up company that is based in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The company, which was incorporated in April 2005, acquired the exclusive rights to jointly developed hydrogen technologies in a licensing deal that was signed with the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in October 2006. The company has a hydrogen fueling system and a polymer/metal tube technology that can be used in applications all the way from hydrogen pipelines to hoses in future hydrogen cars.
ITM Power Plc
ITM Power Plc is a leading developer of solid polymeric fuel cell and electrolyzers technologies. Through the use of its novel patented materials and production methods, ITM is working towards the commercialization of low cost fuel cells and electrolyzers to enable the hydrogen economy to become a commercial reality. ITM has identified low-cost Electrolyzer technology as the vital component for converting carbon free energy into clean hydrogen fuel (on site and on demand).
ITM is applying its proprietary hydrophilic ionic materials in Membrane Electrode Assemblies (MEA's) for the prospective mass production of fuel cells and electrolyzers. Projected capital costs for volume production are approximately one order of magnitude lower than existing PEM technology.
ITM has patented a new one-step manufacturing process, which allows a fuel cell/Electrolyzer stack to be made in a single step, and the company has demonstrated the operation of flexible stacks. ITM’s technological approach also affords the possibility of manufacturing stacks of virtually any shape for a wide range of products.
Port of Los Angeles
Balancing growth and development with environmental considerations is a challenge the Port of Los Angeles continues to address every day. This is accomplished through a variety of strategies that include cleaner-burning vehicle operations in and around the Port, more efficient cargo-handling; improved infrastructure; and biological, industrial and internal environmental programs.
The efficient movement of cargo can be a significant benefit to the environment. Improvements to infrastructure and operations can result in long energy savings and can reduce transportation impacts and air emissions per unit of cargo transported. The Port is in the forefront in improving infrastructure and helping guide operational changes to ensure the efficient movement of goods.
Power + Energy
Power+Energy develops hydrogen purification, separation and fuel processing technology for the hydrogen economy. P+E has recently demonstrated its hydrogen fuel processing technology which will be amenable for use with both traditional and alternative fuels. The patented micro-channel membrane technology can be scaled to supply a wide range of hydrogen volumes, on-demand and at point-of-use. This technology can be utilized to supply hydrogen from fuels in stationary, portable and mobile applications. P+E's target markets include: auxiliary power, back-up power, grid-independent power, hydrogen fueling stations, and on-board reforming.
