Jericho Energy Ventures' Hydrogen Technologies secures funding for California-based project

The project, Hydrogen Permitting Issues and Improvements (HPII), was developed by HT and three partners: Sandia National Laboratories, GHD (a global professional services company with expertise in hydrogen infrastructure), and the University of California at Riverside. The team will identify and address challenges with the deployment of hydrogen-powered equipment (e.g., steam/hot water boilers, fuel cells and fork-lifts) at locations where hydrogen is likely to play a role but is currently an unfamiliar fuel, such as at manufacturing facilities or district heating systems.

HT will receive a share of the total funding for its part in engaging current and potential users of hydrogen-fuelled boilers, their permitting authorities, community and environmental organisations.

The HPII project will identify and address technological and administrative barriers to permitting hydrogen projects. The project focuses on providing safety and risk analysis for select use-cases and real-world data on at-scale issues and concerns to improve integration into existing industrial infrastructure. The project includes a strong community engagement strategy where local representatives from disadvantaged communities are engaged early in the process to identify challenges and mitigation measures to ensure success.

Brian Williamson, CEO of Jericho Energy Ventures, commented: "We are proud to be part of this important DOE-funded project with our esteemed partners. We see the independent launch of our Hydrogen Solution Platform accelerating our access to future collaborations and partnerships with groups pushing full steam ahead with lower emissions industrial and commercial solutions. Beyond delivering our patented, zero-emission hydrogen DCC boiler technology, we are increasingly being recognised as a trusted, innovative hydrogen solutions partner to industry and government."

HT is collaborating with several multi-national corporations and universities to complete feasibility studies for the utilisation of its zero-emission hydrogen boiler technology. HT is presently working with its manufacturing partner, Superior Boiler, to deploy its boiler technology at a prominent Western US university while providing decarbonised district heat for its campus.

The hydrogen-fuelled boilers offer an efficient and sustainable alternative to conventional fossil fuel-based boilers. DCC™ boilers eliminate greenhouse gas emissions, providing a clean and eco-friendly source of steam and hot water for various industries and applications. HT's DCC™ system is a recipient of the Solar Impulse Foundation's prestigious 'Solar Impulse Efficient Solution' award recognising profitable solutions to protect the environment.

JEV recently announced plans to spinout its hydrogen platform from its traditional energy assets as a separate, pure-play hydrogen solutions company to maximise shareholder value.
