QuestAir and ExxonMobil Research and Engineering Company initiate third phase of project to develop on-board hydrogen generator

07-Aug-2007

QuestAir Technologies Inc. announced that it has received a US$1.8 million engineering services contract from ExxonMobil Research and Engineering Company ("EMRE") to support the development of a compact rapid cycle pressure swing adsorption unit for use in a benchtop on-board hydrogen generator. Applications for the generator could include fuel cell powered industrial vehicles. Longer term the technology offers the potential to play a key role in providing an "infrastructure bridge" for automotive fuel cell deployment.

Jonathan Wilkinson, President and CEO of QuestAir, said the contract, which is the third major phase of the joint development program, follows on from work that has been ongoing between QuestAir and EMRE since 2003.

"The hydrogen generation system that EMRE and QuestAir are developing aims to provide a compact, efficient and cost effective solution to generate hydrogen directly on board the vehicle itself from readily available hydrocarbon fuels," Wilkinson added.
