Angstrom and NREL

Boston, Massachusetts, USA - Oct 3, 2011 – Angstrom Advanced, Inc, a leading developer and manufacturer of hydrogen generation and Renewable Energy related products, announced today that US National Renewable Energy Laboratory has successfully completed testing of VERDE-160S, the first hydrogen electrolyzer for renewable energy in the world, invented & developed by Angstrom Advanced Inc. The VERDE system is specifically designed by Angstrom Advanced to adapt to varying renewable power sources, like wind and solar “The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) installed, commissioned and tested an alkaline electrolyzer system provided by Angstrom Advanced, Inc. The electrolyzer, model VERDE-160S, was installed at NREL’s Hydrogen Test Facility (HTF), which is adjacent to the Distributed Energy Resources Test Facility at the National Wind Technology Center. ” – Testing and Analysis of the VERDE-160S System from Angstrom Advanced , Kevin W. Harrison, Marc Mann, Michael Peters, Robert Remick, National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Energy Department . The test at NREL’s HTF successfully provided independent verification of system performance. With this invaluable information, Angstrom Advanced will be able to further improve the VERDE Renewable Hydrogen Generation System. Renewable power, such as wind and solar energy, has some inherent disadvantages that prevent it from being effectively and fully utilized: wind & solar power generation is both intermittent and non-dispatchable. In current renewable energy systems, when the wind and solar power sources become less intense, conventional energy sources such as fossil fuels must be used again to mitigate any shortages of electricity. Dealing with these disadvantages is one of our top priorities, as we strive to see fossil fuels replaced with renewable resources. Also of note Hydrogen production in the world is currently dominated by the use of high polluting fossil fuels, while only 4% of hydrogen produced in the world is currently produced by clean electrolysis (the production of hydrogen through electrolysis driven by clean power). Angstrom Advanced is developing the Renewable Power Generating System ‘VERDE’ to collect extra renewable power during peak periods and produce hydrogen in a clean and effective way, as a means of energy storage. What sets VERDE apart from existing techniques is that current practices focus on how to smooth intermittent electricity to operate hydrogen generators, while VERDE system adjusts the output of the hydrogen generator based on the fluctuating power being supplied, making for a much more efficient system. This system is especially cost effective for use in remote wind production regions, where grid systems are limited. Angstrom Advanced and National Renewable Laboratory has an agreement and will establish more strategic collaboration for Hydrogen and Renewable Energy. About Angstrom Advanced: Angstrom Advanced Inc. is a global developer and supplier of hydrogen generation and Renewable Energy related products and services, serving clean energy markets all around the world.

Angstrom Advanced Inc. Now Provides Hydrogen Fueling Stations!

Angstrom Advanced Inc. now has the capability to provide the 50Kg/hour production capacity Hydrogen Fueling Stations, after collaborating with leading research organizations and national laboratories in the United States for years. This technology has made the Hydrogen Fueling Station ready for commercial operation around the world, and we are only waiting for the auto makers, such as Toyota, Honda, Daimler, Nissan, Audi and GM to release Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles in the next a few years. This brings me to another piece of news, be it a bit outdated, but in October of 2013 Massachusetts Governor and the Governors of seven other states signed an MOU focused on Zero Emission Vehicles.
It agrees to the creation of a multistate ZEV Program Implementation Task Force. It contains agreement on a target of 3.3 million ZEV on the road in the eight states by 2025 with annual reporting on the number of vehicles and electric/hydrogen stations open to the public. Each state will establish their own ZEV targets. There is reference to fleet purchases and stations being made available to the public.
Section 9 specifically addresses the development of strategies and infrastructure requirements for commercialization of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. You can read more about the ZEV program in this article.
Oh, and not only can Angstrom Advanced supply commercial scale Hydrogen Fueling Stations, but we also integrated with residential scale hydrogen fueling machines, which allows every family to enjoy using 100% clean energy for their gas, heating and electricity needs at home!  With the best rates and a highly trained staff, we guarantee to meet your needs and work with you to obtain your project goals.

An Angstrom Introduction to Hydrogen

Angstrom Advanced is the leading supplier of Hydrogen Generating Plants for refinery, petrochemical and other industrial applications. Hydrogen is a chemical element with an atomic weight of 1.00794 dalton. Its chemical symbol is H with an atomic number of 1, making it the first, and lightest, element to appear on the periodic table of elements. In its most basic form, hydrogen represents roughly 75% of all particle matter in the universe. Hydrogen is categorized as a diatomic nonmetal. At standard pressure (1 bar or roughly 14.5 PSI) and temperature (0°C or 32°F) values, hydrogen is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, non-toxic, highly combustible gas with the molecular formula H₂. Most hydrogen on Earth exists as part of organic compounds such as water. This is because hydrogen can easily form covalent bonds with most other non-metallic elements.

All of the products bring state the art technology to meet the most advanced applications.

Hydrogen Use in Industry and Business

Hydrogen plays an important role in industrial, laboratory and academic fields and applications. Its main uses are in the production of ammonia (typically for the fertilizer market) and for processing fossil fuels. High purity hydrogen can be produced in numerous ways and has additional uses in the renewable energy market as an Earth-friendly means of providing energy solutions to businesses, laboratory equipment, and larger applications such as factory power consumption and even large scale distributed energy systems or power grids. In the instances of power and cogenerative plants, hydrogen is typically generated and saved as a back-up means of energy, being stored in fuel cells for later use in internal combustion engines or turbines when its parent energy source is either dry or not producing (e.g. photovoltaic (solar) panels and wind turbines). Since hydrogen can be produced from the electrolysis of water and the reformation of steam produced by processes such as the gasification of coal and methanol cracking, it is a perpetually renewable element, allowing it to be used over and over again without fear of resource stagnation or depletion.
