A power-to-gas energy storage project that will produce hydrogen fuel from photovoltaic (solar) power using Proton OnSite electrolyzers. The hydrogen will be injected into a simulated natural gas pipeline system managed by the National Fuel Cell Research Center to gather data on hydrogen infrastructure and energy storage.

A research study conducted by UC Riverside for the California Public Utilities Commission that examined the impacts of hydrogen blending and recommended real-world testing as a critical component of establishing California standards.

A collaborative hydrogen blending demonstration at UC Irvine that will test the safe use of renewable hydrogen mixed into the university's existing natural gas pipeline infrastructure, starting with a 5% blend and gradually increasing to 20%.

A new electrolyzer platform developed by Proton OnSite to meet large-scale energy storage requirements. The 2 megawatt iteration can increase hydrogen production 13 times over conventional production methods and is less expensive than conventional hydrogen production systems.

Zero-emission bus powered by hydrogen fuel cells, deployed in trial fleets across European cities. Solaris is investing in modular hydrogen platforms.

Electrolysis equipment manufactured at the innovation center for producing green hydrogen from renewable energy.
