With climate change now a global problem, Canada, along with Japan, U.S.A., China, South Korea, Mexico, Brazil, India, and the European Union have established or is proposing fuel economy or greenhouse-gas emission standards for passenger vehicles and light trucks and commercial vehicles.
With hydrogen, the only thing coming out of your exhaust pipe is water vapor. However, hydrogen has several key drawbacks. The first issue is storage. As a gas at room temperature, storage is both difficult and expensive. The second problem is refuelling. As the hydrogen highway has failed to develop as planned, there are a limited number of hydrogen stations available. There are a couple of reasons for this, they are very expensive, and generally require twice the footprint of a regular gas station.
Hydrogen in Motion is developing proprietary, portable, non-compressed hydrogen tanks for storage, whereby 5 tanks can be stored in a vehicle's trunk, connected in series, and be individually swapped when empty. The company will deliver replacement tanks to the driver's residence in the same way bottled water is delivered, providing a convenient and turnkey solution to automakers and owners of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. This alleviates the anxiety for drivers concerned about getting stranding miles from the nearest re-fuelling station.
The company is pushing to be the first to market to establish their proprietary tank as the USB of hydrogen storage, providing a universal solution to consumers. Competitors' solutions, such as compressed or cryogenic tanks, or metal hydride are expensive, energy intense or just not efficient.
The company is looking at other market opportunities including bulk transport and storage, remote sites, and automotive manufacturers.
The company plans to start delivering prototypes tanks to industry partners for their evaluation in 2017. Engineering and trials for automobiles will start also in 2018 with a longer test and development cycle. Trials for bulk transport and storage will start in 2019, with rollout starting in 2020.
Hydrogen in Motion which to date has been funded by the founders and government grants, plans to raise up to $5 million by way of an offering memorandum. The company has set a maximum of 2,762,300 common shares, with the first 500,000 shares priced at $0.50, escalating to $5.00 per share in stages, as the offering proceeds. The company is initially seeking $1.5 million to complete a scale prototype of the tank, which will trigger a matching non-dilutive funding of $500,000 from government sources. In 2016, the company plans to raise the balance of $3.5 million for demonstrations, in addition to seeking pre-contract funding from potential customers and government sources.
The minimum subscription has been set at $10,000, with exemptions subject to the company's approval.
As Hydrogen in Motion is registered as an Eligible Business Corporation, or EBC, under the Small Business Venture Capital Act of British Columbia, the company will be able to issue tax credit certificates for 30% to investors who are residents of British Columbia. An individual investor can also deposit the VCC shares into an RRSP or spousal RRSP, further reducing the after tax cost to about 25% for investors in a higher tax bracket.
