HOD Formira on demand trademark will be published August 17th.

Wonder if this has been about the bus...seems the news has come and gone, its basically the same approach as Neah....maybe they have finally found an automaker that will support the HOD comcept..?

Sustainable fuel
Team Fast, a multidisciplinary student team from Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e ) have built a prototype bus, which uses formic acid to generate hydrogen and carbon dioxide. Formic acid is basically a sustainable liquid that stores hydrogen but having more benefits compared to hydrogen and electric powered vehicles.

Formic acid – so called because ants (formica in Latin) and other insects can produce it – offers the possibility to store hydrogen easily.

Cost-effective
Max Aerts, head of the development team, said formeric acid was a cost-effective way to create hydrogen as fuel. 'The big advantage of formic acid is that you can put it in the fuel tank', he said. 'The cost of rebuilding a petroal station is relatively low.'

Easily adaptable fuel
Team Fast sees possibilities for these reaction to take place in a car, whereby hydrogen is used to power a fuel cell. For the consumer using formic acid will be like using gasoline. This similarity will also ensure that formic acid can easily be incorporated into the existing fuel infrastructure, next to that, formic acid can be much more widely applied as an energy carrier; solar and wind energy can also be stored in formic acid, and then used when required.

It's expected that the first buses aqdapted for formic acid will be running on the roads within one to four years.

Neah Power Systems Releases Improved Formira Hydrogen-on-Demand Product

Product targeted for stand-alone off-the-grid applications, BASF is preferred supplier

Bothell, WA (Oct. 20, 2015) – Neah Power Systems, Inc. (OTCBB: NPWZ, NEAH POWER) an emerging leader in fuel cell-based power solutions and rechargeable lithium battery storage solutions for defense, commercial, and consumer applications, proudly announced the launch of the improved Formira HOD® platform, releasing a video that can be viewed online (YouTube Link:

) and the white paper and spec sheet for the product that allows potential customers to estimate the size of the fuel cell for their specific application (PDF Download: http://dtn.fm/Formic-Acid-Hydrogen-Reformer-for-Fuel-Cells). The Company also noted that it has chosen BASF to be its preferred supplier of formic acid for the Formira HOD platform through its global network of production and distribution sites.

President and CEO of NEAH POWER said, “We are so proud to be launching this improved product. We believe this is the most energy dense, safe, cost effective, liquid source for the generation of hydrogen. The hydrogen can be used for a variety of applications, as a fuel for fuel cells, for metals processing, and other applications. We have also taken the unusual step of posting our product spec sheet on the website, with a simple calculator that customers can use to determine the size of a system for their specific application”. He further noted, “Unlike other reformer technologies, we use the same fuel source (formic acid) to run the reformer and to generate hydrogen, and the fuel contains less than 5% water, unlike other reformers that can contain 30% or more water. The hydrogen generated is consumed by the fuel cell, and we do not store the gaseous hydrogen, addressing various safety and handling concerns related to compressed hydrogen use in fuel cells.”

This Formira HOD® product has generated significant interest from customers and partners due to the lack of alternate high energy density, instantly rechargeable solutions. These teaming agreements with Tectonica (Pvt) Ltd, Clear Path Technologies®, Silent Falcon, S4 Worldwide and Black-I Robotics allow them to incorporate the Formira HOD into their product platforms, and to partner with NEAH POWER to offer the product in other geographical markets as well. The Company will continue to update on the exciting commercialization of this disruptive product.
