Power to Hydrogen is a leader in advanced electrolysis technologies. Our mission is to accelerate the transition to a clean energy economy. We do this with AEM Electrolyzer (Anion Exchange Membrane) technology that cost-effectively and efficiently converts renewable electricity and water into high-pressure hydrogen using earth-abundant materials.

Power to Hydrogen is working closely with government and industry leaders to develop and implement its technology at scale. Its innovative AEM (anion exchange membrane) electrolysis enables high current density and high-pressure hydrogen production while meeting industry durability requirements. The technology is a potential breakthrough in electrolysis technology due to its high performance, low-cost materials, and ability to tie into renewable energy. Power to Hydrogen has proven these advantages in multiple paid pilots with leading global energy companies.

OMAL is a leading Italian company specialized in the automation of flow control.

We design, manufacture and sell:

  • high-cycling pneumatic actuators (from 70 to 283.000 Inch-Lbs.).
