Accelerating the Transition

To the Hydrogen Economy

Our Story

Hydrogen On Demand Technologies is an early-stage Silicon Valley-based original equipment manufacturer (OEM) that provides sustainable hydrogen solutions to bring about a sensible transition towards clean energy, resulting in a triple bottom line improvement for diesel fleet operations and our planet.

Our Diesel Hydrogen Assist Technology (D-HAT™) generators are independently verified to improve the combustion efficiency of large diesel engines, thereby, increasing fuel mileage, decreasing engine maintenance, and significantly reducing harmful diesel emissions.

The Problems We Solve

Hydrogen is not only the universe’s most abundant element, it’s also the world’s cleanest source of energy. For decades hydrogen has held the greatest promise for a clean energy future. But its potential has been throttled by the practicalities of production, storage and distribution.

Expensive to produce:

Producing pure hydrogen currently remains a highly centralized and expensive process that requires more resources to produce than it returns in energy value.
Difficult to store:

Formerly, when stored as a gas, hydrogen broke down most containers. Stored as a liquid, it requires expensive cryogenics and intensive safety infrastructure.
Expensive to transport:

Centrally produced in volume, today’s hydrogen must be transported to the infrastructure and compressed in tanks from which it is ultimately consumed.

Enter Hydrogen On Demand Technologies

Hydrogen On Demand Technologies overcomes the limitations of traditional hydrogen production by extracting hydrogen from distilled water through the use of our patented PEM cell technology. Our system produces up to 99.9% pure hydrogen when and where it’s needed—onsite or onboard—instead of producing, storing and transporting it centrally using large, expensive refinery operations. Our total process is clean, generating no carbon emissions.

We champion sustainable progress by providing a bridge technology for today’s diesel fleets to operate more profitably and sustainably with dramatically reduced harmful emissions. We’ll also meet tomorrow’s zero-emissions fuel requirements by extending the footprint of hydrogen production (from centralized to distributed) to the periphery of the hydrogen fuel infrastructure through the power of Hydrogen On Demand Tech.

Every diesel engine, generator or fueling station where we can install a Hydrogen On Demand generator represents a significant step towards a cleaner and more sustainable planet. For everyone on the Hydrogen On Demand Technologies team, there’s no better time for this than right now.

Our Vision

We’re here to bring about a sensible transition from a hydrocarbon economy to a Hydrogen Economy through innovative fuel solutions to meet existing and future global demands.

Our Mission

We are an environmentally impactful company whose mission is to improve environmental outcome of diesel operations while transitioning into the future of zero emissions operations.
