Los Alamos National Laboratory to provide technical support to fuel cell companies

The Los Alamos National Laboratory will be providing technical support for companies developing fuel cell technology. These companies have been awarded this support from the Department of Energy’s Small Business Voucher pilot program. The program is currently in its second phase, through which small businesses focused on clean technology are paired with national laboratories. These laboratories will provide these companies with new insight into clean technology, leveraging their extensive experience and expertise in this field.

Program pairs small companies with national laboratory to develop fuel cell technology

Pajarito Powder, a company that develops fuel cell catalysts, is one of the companies that has received a voucher through the Small Business Voucher program. NanoSonic and Ion Power have also been provided with vouchers. Both of these companies are developing fuel cell technology for various purposes. The program is meant to support the development of clean technology in order to bolster the emerging new energy market. This market is heavily reliant on the advancement of technology in order to continue growing.

Supporting clean technology is a priority for the Los Alamos National Laboratory
