Hydrogen Fuel by PowerUP
When the CEO of this SET 2021 finalist, Ivar Kruusenberg, started exploring the possibilities of hydrogen fuel cell technology, he recognised it could be a game changer in the realm of portable energy generation. His team at PowerUp, a start-up from Estonia, has developed several hydrogen fuel cell generators that could potentially completely replace diesel generators, which are known to be inefficient, resulting in high emissions rates. The team’s ambition also spreads to the whole field of hydrogen as a fuel source. In 2021, PowerUP opened the world’s first Hydrogen Smart cabinet – a grab and go station for tanks of hydrogen. Their progressive work has awarded them a spot as a Start Up Energy Transition 2021 Finalist, offering the team the chance to be selected to land funding and to develop as a player in the international renewable energy field.
