Found Energy
Transforms aluminum waste into hydrogen fuel
About Found Energy
Found Energy transforms aluminum waste into a renewable energy source, specifically targeting industries that depend on fossil fuels, like shipping and transportation. The company provides modular Fuel Packs that generate clean hydrogen for vessels. The process starts with low-quality aluminum scrap, which is used in the Fuel Packs. Once depleted, these packs are returned to Found Energy for restocking with aluminum waste. Found Energy sells and services these Fuel Packs at major terminals worldwide, utilizing existing port infrastructure for installation and maintenance. This approach offers a cost-effective solution for clients aiming to reduce their carbon footprint. By providing a renewable energy alternative that competes with fossil fuels in price and energy density, Found Energy supports industries in their decarbonization efforts and plays a significant role in the clean energy transition.
