EH Group Engineering
Extreme Tech Challenge Alumni
Switzerland
EH Group Engineering is focused on the design and production of innovative hydrogen fuel cell technology. It is based on:
– A redesigned microstructure that delivers a power density of 1.5-2 times that of leading competitors’ FC products;
– A transformative assembly and production process which aims to radically reduce the price of FCs;
– FC stack technology that operates with a greatly simplified FC system and less parasitic loads.
Our product will therefore directly address the challenge of current unsustainable technologies that power our economy, but that are unfit for purpose in our times. For example, commercial vehicles both on land and water that require extended use, range and/or heavy payloads are primed for disruptive decarbonization that cannot be met by batteries alone (trucks, buses, trains, ferries, port vessels and other maritime vehicles, etc.).
These are just some of the markets that are poised to benefit from the wide-scale implementation of our innovative FC technology.
Stage of funding:
R&D, pre-seed
Mentoring needs:
- Scaling – production process
- Team building
- Expand to international market
