The company develops hydrogen storage technologies in novel nano-structured materials using a proprietary charging procedure.

The company  proposes:

a) To develop, in partnership with a fuel cell manufacturer, an integrated solution to power portable applications, in particular laptops, based on The company 's hydrogen storage solution combined with a micro-fuel cell. The company 's solution is rechargeable, modular and fully scalable.

b) To develop a prototype of a large scale, economically viable, fully modular solution for the storage of intermittent renewable energy, specifically wind and solar power in cooperation with experts in the field of wind/solar energy, Solid Oxide Fuel Cell manufacturers and hydrogen turbine manufacturers. Using our technology, energy in excess of demand at any given point in time would be used to produce hydrogen via catalysed electrolysis. Hydrogen thus produced would then be stored in The company 's proprietary reservoirs for later use either in fuel cells or in hydrogen combustion turbines.

The company 's storage technology is based on a combination of metal hydrides and a nano-structured ceramic. The advantages of this solution compared to competing hydrogen technologies are:
- storage in atmospheric pressure and low temperature (40-100 degrees Centigrade)
- integrated production and storage of hydrogen
- low cost.
