HAIFA, Israel – An Israeli start-up is being recognized for an innovative technology that’s designed to make hydrogen fuel much more affordable.
Israeli startup H2Pro has been named “best company in the scale-up track” in Royal Dutch Shell’s New Energy Challenge competition. H2Pro was one of five finalists, and the only one from Israel.
First, a bit of background: Hydrogen is an ideal “green” replacement for fossil fuels. When hydrogen is burned or converted into electricity using a fuel cell, the only byproduct is water; there are no harmful CO2 emissions. And one kilogram of hydrogen packs as much energy as a gallon (3.8 liters) of gasoline.
