Hydrogen technology developer HyperSolar, Inc. (Santa Barbara, Calif.) announced it is has changed the name of the Company to SunHydrogen, Inc.
“For some time now, we considered adopting the SunHydrogen name,” said Tim Young, CEO of HyperSolar. “Now, as we enter production of Gen 1 and channel more development resources into Gen 2, we wanted our name change to coincide with our next phase of business.”
Chief Technology Officer, Dr. Joun Lee, said, “For our team, this is a very exciting time. The name, SunHydrogen, is far more representative of what we are working for—producing renewable hydrogen from sunlight and water. As we see the years of development coming to fruition, we will leave the HyperSolar name behind along with the technology groundwork as part of what has gotten us to where we are. Now with our new name, we will take on emerging and, hopefully, world-shaking, challenges.”
As mentioned in a previous news release, the team is beginning the manufacture of Gen 1 panels to produce renewable hydrogen using sunlight and water. Also, the Company will begin to funnel greater resources into the development of Gen 2, a nanotechnology solution to hydrogen production that management believes can completely change the economics of hydrogen production and thus the global energy playing field.
Mr. Young concluded, “Hydrogen is taking a place on centerstage in the world. Phoenix-based Hydrogen truck-producer, Nikola, Inc., went public in a reverse merger, raised $700MM, and introduced other developments that put a further exclamation point on continued increasing global interest in hydrogen-related activity. Developments like this reinforce our belief in our technology and make us even more passionate about making low cost renewable hydrogen an essential fuel of the future.”
