Proton Power is a demonstration stage company with a focus on hybrid electric-fuel cell drive trains for larger vehicles such as delivery trucks, buses.
Electrolyzers, Fueling, and Storage
Since pure hydrogen does not occur naturally, the hydrogen economy cannot run on fuel cells alone. A number of companies are tackling the creation of hydrogen (usually by electrolysis, or using electricity to split water in to hydrogen and oxygen), as well as fueling and storage.
Hydrogenics (NASD:HYGS) is a commercial stage company that develops and sells electrolyzers for hydrogen generation. This is often integrated with hydrogen storage and PEM fuel cells, as well as hydrogen fueling stations. It sells into both stationary power and vehicular markets. ITM Power sells commercial electrolyzers for hydrogen generation in hydrogen fueling stations, for industrial use, or injection into natural gas pipelines. Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide (NASD:QTWW) sells a number of alternative fuel vehicle drive-trains and parts including hydrogen fuel tanks, but most of its current sales come from natural gas vehicles.
One oddball company brought to my attention by a reader is HyperSolar, Inc (OTC:HYSR). Hypersolar is a very early stage developer of a solar powered system to directly use solar power to produce hydrogen from water. While cutting out the extra step of converting sunlight to electricity with photovoltaics before using electrolysis to split hydrogen from water may sound attractive, the company is at an extremely early development stage and does not have sufficient funding to advance its technology. It's also not clear if the technology is more efficient at converting sunlight to hydrogen than the combination of photovoltaics and electrolyzers would be, or what the capital costs are. I can't imagine any scenario where a long term stock market investor could make a profit on HyperSolar.
Fuel Cell Energy (NASD:FCEL), discussed below, is currently developing a fuel cell that can generate hydrogen as well as electricity from various hydrocarbon feedstocks.
Alkaline Fuel Cells
Alkaline Fuel Cells (AFCs) have a solution of potassium hydroxide in water as an electrolyte which allows the precious metal catalyst of PEM fuel cells to be replaced by a variety of non-precious metals. AFCs are one of the most efficient types of fuel cell, and have demonstrated efficiency near 60% in space applications. Unfortunately, AFCs are very sensitive to exposure to carbon dioxide and require both the hydrogen and oxygen used by the cell to be purified beforehand, which is a very costly process.
AFC Energy (LSE:AFC) is a developer of alkaline fuel cells for use converting waste hydrogen from industrial processes into useful electricity. This seems like an interesting niche market and may prove profitable if AFC's fuel cells prove sufficiently durable.
Molten Carbonate Fuel Cells
Molten Carbonate fuel cells (MCFCs) use a high temperature salt mixture suspended in an inert ceramic matrix as an electrolyte. The 650°C (roughly 1,200°F) at which they operate allows non-precious metals to be used as catalysts on both the anode and cathode, leading to significant cost reductions.
MCFCs are typically 45% to 50% efficient at converting fuel to electricity, but that efficiency can be increased significantly by capturing the high quality waste heat and using it to drive a turbine or in other combined heat and power (CHP) applications, where they can have efficiency as high as 85%. The greatest advantage of MCFCs is that they do not require an external reformer. They can internally convert a wide range of hydrocarbons including natural gas, biogas, and propane into hydrogen for power generation. Unlike PEMs and AFCs, they are also not vulnerable to "poisoning" by carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide.
The main downside of MCFCs is durability. Their high operating temperatures and corrosive electrolytes can degrade components relatively rapidly.
The main public company commercializing MCFCs is Fuel Cell Energy. It sells its fuel cells mostly into stationary power markets for distributed generation and CHP. The company has sold hundreds of megawatts of its Direct FuelCell® power plants and has a strong financial backer in Korean power producer POSCO Energy.
Ceramic/Solid Oxide Fuel Cells
Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) use a solid ceramic as the electrolyte. They operate at even higher temperatures than MCFCs (approximately 1,000°C or 1,830°F) which, as in MCFCs, allows the use of non-precious metals as catalysts and for internal reforming of fuel into hydrogen, both of which reduce costs. SOFCs are extremely fuel-flexible. Like MCFCs, they are not vulnerable to carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide, but they are also able to tolerate much higher concentrations of sulfur. This flexibility allows SOFCs to use fuels made from coal, as well as cleaner hydrocarbons.
The very high operating temperatures can impair durability, and also require thermal shielding to retain heat and protect workers. Newer, lower temperature variants which operate below 800°C for greater durability have been developed at the cost of lower power output. .
Two public companies commercializing SOFCs are Ceres Power (LSE:CWR and OTC:CPWHF) and Ceramic Fuel Cells (OTCPK:CEFLF, ASX:CFU and LSE:CFU). Ceramic Fuel Cells markets small scale SOFC based combined heat and power units to commercial customers in Europe. Its fuel cells have industry leading electrical efficiency of up to 60%, and the overall efficiency of the CHP units is naturally much higher. Ceres Power has developed a lower temperature SOFC which operates at 500 - 600°C, allowing the use of stainless steel components which increase durability and allow for quicker start times than other SOFCs. Ceres is currently targeting South Korean and Japanese markets where it hopes to sell its CHP units to replace residential boilers to produce both heat and majority of a home's electricity

Zurzeit wird viel über Unternehmen gesprochen, die Brennstoffzellen-Stacks produzieren oder diese zur weiteren Nutzung in ihre Produkte einbauen: Ballard, Plug Power, Hydrogenics, etc. Eine Herausforderung dabei ist allerdings: wie produziert man den Wasserstoff, um diese Brennstoffzellen anzutreiben? Eine Möglichkeit ist die Umwandlung von Erdgas. Eine andere, Wasser ins seine Bestandteile aufzuspalten, was aber beides sehr engergieintensiv ist.
Hyper Solar entwickelt nach eigenen Angaben eine bahnbrechende Technologie, um Wasserstoff mit Hilfe von Sonnenlicht und einer beliebigen Wassserquelle zu produzieren. Damit würden die herkömmlichen Elektrolyse-Gerät überflüssig. Der Vorteil: der Wasserstoff könnte sehr viel preisgünstiger produziert werden und das praktisch an jedem Ort, an dem es Wasser und Sonnenlicht gibt.
Mehr zu dieser Technologie:
http://www.hypersolar.com/technology.php
Bis hierhin klingt das alles sehr vielversprechend. Fakt ist allerdings auch: das Unternehmen hat zurzeit noch kein marktreifes Produkt. Es wurden zwar bereits einige Meilensteine erreicht, letztlich befindet sich die Technologie allerdings in einem vergleichsweise frühen Stadium. Des Weiteren ist die weitere Finanzierung dieses Projektes bis zur Marktreife keineswegs gesichert. Hypersolar ist also ein klassischer Hot Stock.
Des weiteren sollte man nicht außer acht lassen, dass es auch noch andere Stellen gibt, die nach einer preisgünstigen Methode suchen, Wasserstoff herzustellen:

Gruselig ist auch der Blick auf den Chart: im Jahr 2010 stand der Kurs bei 0,20 USD. Anschließend halbierte sich der Preis, um 2011 auf 0,25 USD hoch zu schießen. Ende 2011 folgte dann der Absturz und heute beträgt der Kurs gerade einmal 0,006 USD (die Nullen sind korrekt gesetzt, der Kurs beträgt also nicht einmal einen Cent). Für frühe Investoren also praktisch ein Totalverlust.
Die Entwicklung läuft allerdings noch. Der Unternehmens-Webseite zur Folge sind theoretisch 1,23 Volt erforderlich, um Wasser in seine Bestandteile aufzuspalten. In der Praxis eher 1,5 Volt. Im Dezember 2013 meldete das Unternehmen, mittlerweile 1,1 Volt zu erreichen, wobei die verwendeten Komponenten sehr preisgünstig seien. Das nächste Ziel ist es, die erforderlichen 1,5 Volt zu erreichen.
Hier gilt also: hopp oder top. Scheitert das Unternehmen in der nächsten Finanzierungsrunde und/oder bei der Produktentwicklung, ist diese Aktie mausetot. Schaffen die Entwickler es allerdings, ein funktionsfähiges Produkt zu entwickeln und dieses erfolgreich zu vermarkten, dürfte sich der Kurs vervielfachen.
Momentan bin ich nur mit kleiner 5-stelliger Stückzahl investiert und das wird auch erst mal so bleiben ! Es bleibt die nächste finanzierung,die unmittelbar bevorstehen dürfte abzuwarten,wenn die nämlich 500 Mio shares oder nochmehr raushauen (müssen) werde ich verkaufen und das Invest ist für mich gestorben,wir kennen das von un zähligen anderen Pinkis,milliarden von shares draussen und der Kurs ist für immer und ewig zum sub-Penny verdammt,hoffentlich nicht auch bei Hypersolar ...... warten wirs ab !

"We now see a path to production of hydrogen through immersion of low cost semiconductor materials in water," stated Tim Young. "Our approach uses only one type of inexpensive semiconducting material and reduces manufacturing complexity. Use of low cost materials with an industrial scaleable process and may even make it a viable approach for fabricating low-cost photovoltaic modules for other applications beyond water splitting."
"With the recent announcements of Hyundai, Honda, Toyota and other major auto manufacturers to begin shipping hydrogen fuel cell cars next year, there will be increased demand in the near future for clean hydrogen," continued Mr. Young. "We believe our technology can address two serious drawbacks impeding major adoption of hydrogen automobiles: First, the lack of hydrogen production infrastructure near the point of distribution or the fueling stations is addressed by our solar hydrogen production process. Second, hydrogen is currently produced from a fossil fuel -- natural gas -- in a process that releases substantial amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere."
It is well known that the theoretical voltage for splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen is 1.23 volts, and approximately 1.5 volts in real-world systems. Achieving 1.5 volts using inexpensive solar cells has eluded the world. For example, silicon solar cells are the most inexpensive and abundant, but their 0.7 volt open circuit voltage is not enough to split water. Commercially available high voltage solar cells are considered to be far too expensive for use in hydrogen production.

SANTA BARBARA, CA--(Marketwired - Mar 4, 2014) - HyperSolar, Inc. (OTCQB: HYSR), the developer of a breakthrough technology to produce renewable hydrogen using sunlight and any source of water, today commented that it is strongly encouraged by recent commitments of Fortune 500 companies to use hydrogen fuel cells for a number of applications.
Last week, Walmart, the world's biggest retailer announced it had ordered an additional 1,738 GenDrive cells from Plug Power to be used in lift trucks at their six North American distribution centers. (http://onforb.es/1evJK2k)
In January of this year, both Sprint and FedEx announced they were increasing their use of fuel cell technology. Sprint said it would begin deploying hydrogen fuel cell technology as backup power to rooftop network sites replacing diesel generators. (http://bit.ly/1fwaknu) FedEx placed an order with Plug Power for Fuel Cell Extenders to increase the range of their fleet of electric delivery trucks. (http://bit.ly/1kymv86)
Tim Young, CEO of HyperSolar, commented, "With our commitment to develop a method for onsite renewable hydrogen production, we are encouraged by the growing demand for hydrogen production infrastructure. Toyota, Hyundai, and Honda have led the way with recent announcements about new fuel cell cars. Many big companies, including Walmart, are now using fuel cells to power warehouse lift trucks. We believe that Sprint's commitment to deploy fuel cells as a source of backup power is just the very small tip of the very large iceberg for this type of application."
"The missing link for commercial success is an economical source of renewable hydrogen," continued Mr. Young. "Today the feedstock to produce hydrogen for all these commercial applications is natural gas. While natural gas is plentiful, the supply is not infinite and it certainly isn't renewable. Also, there is a distribution problem that must be solved. At HyperSolar, our goal is to use our proprietary technology to produce renewable hydrogen at or near the point of distribution or deployment."
HyperSolar's research is centered on developing a low-cost and submersible hydrogen production particle that can split water molecules under the sun, emulating the core functions of photosynthesis. Each particle is a complete hydrogen generator that contains a novel high voltage solar cell bonded to chemical catalysts by a proprietary encapsulation coating. A video of an early proof-of-concept prototype can be viewed at http://hypersolar.com/application.php. HyperSolar recently extended its sponsored research agreement with UCSB to further the development.

mal schauen wies weitergeht, jetzt einzusteigen wäre wohl ziemlich dämlich, allerdings hoffe ich auf einen rücksetzter um evt. auch noch aufspringen zu können.....
Einen solchen Chart wie diesen habe ich zuvor auch noch nie gsehen, wäre natürlich möglich, dass der Kurs die nächsten Monate wieder langsam aber sicher zerbröckelt wie bereits zuvor, was ist deine Meinung Chali?
Thx nochmals für deine wertvollen Beiträge!
Chali, Deine Tipps sind einfach genial. Ich hoffe, dass Du selber auch davon partizipieren konntest. Ich schon... :o) dafür ein großes DANKE!
Damals war Wasserstoff wohl noch nicht so das Thema gewesen!
Innerhalb von 3 Monaten fiel der Kurs auf 10 Cent zurück!
Heute hingegen wäre eine günstige Produktion zukunftsweisend und eine echte Revolution auf dem Energiemarkt. Sollte Hypersolar tatsächlich kurz vor dem Durchbruch stehen,... dann könnten wir noch eine Menge Spaß in den kommenden Jahren haben!
Marktkapitalisierung bei gut 10Mio... ein absoluter witz sollte hier wirklich was bahnbrechendes kommen, allerdings ist mir ein einstieg momentan trotzdem zu heiss.... auch nochmals gratulation an alle investierten!
Der SL hat gegriffen und bin mit 50% meiner Teile rausgeflogen. Ich hab unterm Strich (nur) 200% gut gemacht, da ich zu höheren Kursen als zum Zeitpunkt der Rakete eingestiegen bin. Sollte es nochmal richtig runter gehen, kauf ich vielleicht nochmal nach! Ansonsten lass ich die andere Hälfte weiter laufen. Selbst bei einem Totalverlust vom Rest wäre ich noch gut im Plus. Also kann es eigentlich kein Drama mehr werden, nur das Happyend könnte deutlich schmäler ausfallen!
wünsche allen ein schönes wochenende und glück auf!!
Ja, hattest Recht. Heute wieder 50% im Plus. Und weil's so schön ist, der Cahrt seit Montag mit einem Anstieg von 550%. Doch jetzt sollten wir mal prüfen, was wir in nächster Zeit von dem Verein zu erwarten haben.
Allen viel Erfolg und ein schönes WE
