Sustainable Innovations has changed its name to Skyre. The change reflects the transformation of the company from a research and development enterprise to a products company. EAST HARTFORD, CT – March 21, 2018 – The name change and rebranding is being driven by the commercial introduction of the H2RENEW™ product and the accelerated development of the industry-leading technology at the core of the CO2RENEW™ product that converts waste CO2 into chemicals and fuels. The rebrand is coming at the perfect time. According to Dr. Trent Molter, founder and CEO, “It’s a time like never before in our company history. Sustainability has taken root on a global scale. We’re seeing worldwide proliferation of low-cost renewables in concert with ubiquitous demand for energy storage. Many countries that committed to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions are now following through on their promise. In order to remain cost competitive, effective resource management is now an essential part of every business. For these reasons, and others, we are confronted by a perfect storm and we believe this is the time to capitalize on this unique business climate and our extraordinary capabilities. The name Skyre, developed by the Los Angeles-based brand strategy and design firm TELLIT, speaks to the blue-sky thinking and innovative approach needed to solve some of the most difficult global problems vital to the survival of our planet and society. It’s also a nod to the solid foundation of the company, built from over a decade of success in taking on these tough problems and the bold quest to reach even higher. The market-proven H2RENEW hydrogen separation and compression product is the key to unlocking opportunities within global industrial and energy markets. It meets immediate customer needs for cost savings and emissions reductions in the metals, ceramics and microelectronics sectors and is the platform upon which multiple products can be built. The most exciting and transformational product is the new CO2RENEW system that addresses a growing number of global environmental and economic concerns. It offers a means to convert a well-recognized greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, carbon dioxide, to valuable fuels and chemicals. Skyre’s success, no doubt, will provide a new means for addressing global energy needs using clean technologies. “We hope that the brand will serve to further inspire and empower all of us”, says Dr. Molter. “We are Skyre, and we are changing the world with our products and innovations.”
EAST HARTFORD, Conn. – May 15, 2017 – PRLog — Sustainable Innovations has delivered a Hydrogen-Based Energy Conservation System (HECS) for recovering hydrogen from various waste streams at NASA Stennis Space Center (SSC). The first of its kind, this fully integrated, solid state system is designed to recover hydrogen released from cryogenic storage or to separate hydrogen from helium used in rocket test operations. Using a proprietary electrochemical process developed by Sustainable Innovations, the HECS system can purify and compress recovered hydrogen to commercial storage pressures, facilitating its reuse for vehicle fueling and other needs. SI was tapped for this development project because of its success in hydrogen fueling pressure at significant scale while avoiding the unacceptable downtime and maintenance pitfalls that have hampered mechanical compressors. As an electrochemical-based process, energy is not wasted during compression and there are no moving parts. The result is a highly reliable system requiring very low maintenance.
EAST HARTFORD, Conn. – Feb. 14, 2017 – PRLog — Sustainable Innovations, Inc. (SI) and its partners, Greenway Energy and Savannah River National Laboratory, will team to maximize the benefits of two cutting edge hydrogen compressor technologies by combining them into one high reliability, high efficiency hybrid compressor. This important R&D effort will address one of the most stubborn problems plaguing the hydrogen fueling industry – how to cost effectively compress hydrogen for storage on board a vehicle. Conventional compressor technology has proven less than optimal for hydrogen fueling in early fuel cell vehicle markets like California. According to the Department of Energy, the poor reliability of mechanical compressors is related to operating conditions at the hydrogen stations for which mechanical compressors were not designed.
Sustainable Innovations today announced the appointment of Jon Melzer and Walter (Chip) Schroeder as independent directors of the firm. “Our Board members embody the spirit of entrepreneurship, governance and the highest levels of experience. They bring talent, energy, industry and financial expertise to bear upon our success. We are very fortunate to have them by our side as we continue to commercialize technology in the advanced energy market space, and we’re grateful for the benefit of their counsel” said Dr. Trent Molter, Founder, President and CEO.
Sustainable Innovations, Inc. (SI) is developing an electrochemical system that addresses multiple challenges and opportunities in the energy supply marketplace. The CO2RENEW™ converts waste CO2 and H2O to methane fuel, the primary energy carrier in natural gas. This fuel can then be stored or transported in the existing natural gas pipeline to points of need.
EAST HARTFORD, Conn. – Jan. 10, 2017 – PRLog — Sustainable Innovations (SI) is teaming with the University of Connecticut Center for Clean Energy Engineering (UConn C2E2) to meet a critical need in the rollout of hydrogen vehicles. They have teamed up to develop a breakthrough hydrogen fuel quality sensor that will rapidly assess whether a fuel supply stream is meeting a vehicle’s needs for high performance, reliable operation.
EAST HARTFORD, Conn. – June 24, 2016 – PRLog — Sustainable Innovations received a contract from NASA to supply a commercial-scale system to recycle helium, a resource that is in scarce supply. Ongoing rocket test operations at NASA Stennis Space Center (SSC) result in valuable helium gas being vented to the atmosphere, in addition to the substantial quantity of hydrogen gas that is flared upon completion of a rocket test cycle. The price of helium has increased substantially in recent years, along with the interest in finding an efficient and economical method of helium recovery. Sustainable Innovations’ Helium Recovery System (HRS) selectively removes hydrogen from the helium purge gas used in rocket fueling operations, allowing the high-value helium to be recovered for reuse. Recovery of hydrogen from the waste stream is an added benefit that increases savings.
Sustainable Innovations’ H2RENEW™ system was recently featured in NASA Spinoff, an annual publication that features a number of NASA technologies that have transformed into commercial products and services. The H2RENEW™ is an electrochemical system that efficiently separates and compresses hydrogen using Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) technology for many industrial applications, including hydrogen-helium separation, hydrogen compression, and hydrogen recycling.
EAST HARTFORD, Conn. & NEW YORK – Nov. 3, 2015 – PRLog — Sustainable Innovations is pleased to announce it has been awarded a Phase II SBIR contract from NASA to develop a hydrogen resource recovery system (HRR). Sustainable Innovations’ signature electrochemical platform provides a long-awaited solution to NASA’s search for an efficient gas separation technology to recover and purify hydrogen from a combined gas stream containing water vapor, carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrocarbons (including methane, acetylene, ethane, ethylene and others). The novel HRR will purify the co-generated hydrogen which is part of a crewmember life support system on long duration space missions. The HRR will meet NASA requirements by delivering a fresh, pressurized, re-supply of hydrogen from a waste stream of “used” hydrogen, at a reduced logistics cost and less complexity
EAST HARTFORD, Conn. – Oct. 21, 2015 – PRLog — Sustainable Innovations, a world leader in electrochemical hydrogen separation and compression technology, is pleased to announce its award of a 2015 NASA Phase I SBIR to further develop its Helium Recovery System (HRS) technology for use at NASA Stennis Space Center (SSC).
