Technology

 

What we strive to achieve:


Producing economically viable, high performance fuel cell solutions
Solving access to hydrogen for mainstream users
Developing scalable mass-manufacturing processes

Since late 2005, following significant cost-reduction milestones and core technology breakthroughs, we are now actively involved in launching products in applications that can be powered by Horizon today, and preparing those applications that will be powered by Horizon tomorrow.

Innovation is at its best and most powerful when ideas converge, when very different sciences interact with each other. Our capability is diverse, meaning we can design complete solutions that include software, electronics, hydrogen storage, peripherals and mechanical devices – all under one roof.

Horizon’s technological advantage resides in developing complete PEM (Polymer Electrolyte Membrane) fuel cell power solutions delivering 0.3W to 15kW. Our PEM fuel cells are air-cooled, and self-humidified, making it possible to offer simpler and therefore more reliable system designs. They have the additional benefit of being one the lightest and most compact solutions on the world market.

As a result of our core materials technologies, we also offer flexible designs by being able to modify at will all the variables of weight, conductivity, lifetime, and cost based on the specific requirements of the product to be powered by our fuel cells. This means the range of our application possibilities is virtually endless, and explains why we are able to simultaneously make aerospace grade 1kW PEM fuel cells that weigh only 800g, consumer grade fuel cells for toys, education, and consumer electronics, and industrial grade fuel cells for portable power, back-up power and transportation.
