Hydrogen Fueling Opportunity
Blue hydrogen, using renewable natural gas instead of non-green electricity, marks an important milestone for the hydrogen industry.
By harnessing renewable natural gas and natural gas, PowerTap diverts the greenhouse gases from entering the atmosphere, creating clean, inexpensive hydrogen which beats out harmful methane fossil fuels and battery electric on all metrics.

Highlights
Now in its 3rd evolution, PowerTap's patended hydrogen technology can be a key part of solving the missing hydrogen infrastructure challenge.
A lack of infrastructure for the new and future hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles provides an immediate opportunity to PowerTap.
Multiple patents and history in the hydrogen industry allows PowerTap's Gen3 system to make an impact in the hydrogen industry.
Intellectual Property
PATENT NUMBER: 10549250: METHOD OF FABRICATING CONCENTRIC-TUBE CATALYTIC REACTOR ASSEMBLY
(This method of fabrication reduces the overall footprint of the Fuel Processor unit but is also critical to the system ability to thermal cycle in hours not days, further reducing the generation of CO2 by not running continuously.)
PATENT NUMBER: 7063131: PERFORATED FIN HEAT EXCHANGERS AND CATALYTIC SUPPORT
(Provides improved reactance of catalysis and reduces catalysis crush during startup and shutdown periods)
PATENT NUMBER: 10197269: BURNER ASSEMBLY WITH LOW NOX EMISSIONS Provides much Greener Solution
(Nox pollution contributing to the acid rain problem. Additionally, Nox deposition in the oceans provides phytoplankton with nutrients, worsening the problem of red tides and other harmful algae blooms)
