How big do you think the potential market is for a cleaner, more efficient, and highly versatile power generation technology? A 40,000-watt electric generator, approximately two cubic feet in size, would completely redefine the light-duty hybrid-electric vehicle market. Or consider a 100-kilowatt hydrogen-fueled electric generator, a cubic meter in size, powering EV charging stations. Or envision a 10-megawatt utility-scale electric power plant that can operate on either hydrogen or natural gas, the size of a standard shipping container. At less than 1% market penetration, it is in the billions.

Now, what if I told you this technology can be ready within 36 months? Alpha-Otto Technologies has developed a new, highly efficient, and reliable engine technology that can run on clean fuels like hydrogen or ethanol as well as traditional fuels like natural gas and gasoline. This breakthrough in engine design and method of operations is proven, patent-protected, and was made possible through $1.2 million in non-diluting federal grants. These grants funded initial research and development and the creation of three prototypes that confirmed the science and potential of this technology.

Alpha-Otto Technologies is seeking private investments to begin commercialization efforts, finalize the control systems and calibrations for operating on hydrogen and natural gas, and perform reliability and performance testing. The resulting minimum viable product will be integrated with off-the-shelf power generation technology and deployed in pilot and demonstration projects funded by existing utility and power industry incentive programs.

This isn’t just advanced engine technology; it represents a significant step toward a more sustainable future—an opportunity to begin the transition to a hydrogen economy. The Alpha-Otto hybrid-electric powertrain is a new and cleaner power generation technology that offers significant improvements in efficiency and power density, along with the ability to run on clean fuels like hydrogen, all at a highly competitive capital and operational cost.
