Blue World Technologies and Clayton Power are committed to the development of next-generation methanol fuel cell solution to deliver safe, reliable, and low-cost energy to auxiliary power demands. The methanol fuel cell solution combines Blue World Technologies’ proprietary high-temperature proton exchange membrane (HTPEM) technology, and Clayton Power’s lithium-ion battery solution to provide an instant- and continuous power supply. The effort is supported by Danish Energy Agency through the EUDP (Danish Energy Technology Development an

Following Blue World Technologies’ acquisition of Danish Power Systems, the former CEO and Co-founder, Hans Aage Hjuler, continues as Chief Scientific Officer at Blue World Technologies. With his extensive knowledge and experience, Blue World Technologies is strengthening its position as one of the world’s leading companies within HT-PEM fuel cell technology.
As Co-founder of Danish Power Systems, Hans Aage Hjuler is one of the first scientists to start research and development activities within HT-PEM technology (high-temperature proton-exchange membrane). His interest in fuel cell technology started back in the early 80s when he did his master’s degree in chemistry followed by a PhD degree in advanced battery technology from the Technical University of Denmark. In 1988 he formed a significant research group wit

Innovative solutions are needed for society to achieve climate emission targets, and fuel cell propulsion systems for vehicles are helping to drive the automotive industry’s green revolution.
Current State of the Automotive Industry
Transportation alone makes a significant contribution to greenhouse gas emissions. In the US alone, 2018 figures from the EPA showed that the transportation sector accounted for 28% of greenhouse gas emissions. Many other harmful gases are released, including nitrous oxide. Short-term exposure causes a plethora of respiratory problems, and it is one of the leading causes of pollution in cities.
The use of fossil fuels as a power source is problematic. Aside from the emission of harmful greenhouse gases and pollution, fossil fuels are a finite resource. Estimates of when oil will run out vary, but it is widely agreed that we need to reduce our fossil fuel consumption. One sector which is well-placed to he

AALBORG, Denmark and IRVINE, California, USA (Feb. 2, 2021) – Blue World Technologies today announced that we have agreed to collaborate with Karma Automotive to explore the viability of a fuel cell system to provide primary propulsion power for a variety of future passenger and light commercial vehicles. Fuel cells enable fast refueling and extremely long driving ranges, and with zero harmful emissions provide a green alternative to the internal combustion engine.
Blue World Technology’s fuel cell system will be integrated with Karma Automotive’s electric vehicle architecture and piloted in GS-6 development vehicles for evaluation purposes. Testing and validation will take place in the United States and Denmark over the next few months.
