This document discusses URH2's total solution for fuel cells and renewable hydrogen generation. It describes URH2's proprietary metal hydride storage technology using low-pressure canisters, which provides cost advantages over high-pressure hydrogen storage. The document also outlines URH2's bio-reforming process that produces hydrogen from renewable fuels like biogas at costs below $5/kg, providing a renewable alternative to natural gas steam methane reforming. Finally, it mentions URH2's backup fuel cell power systems that can run on the hydride hydrogen canisters and work with the bio-reforming systems to provide packaged power solutions.
