Recognition launches new hydrogen power system



Recognition has been asked to promote Inova Power Limited, a new North East engineering business, which has launched a cost effective new energy innovation capable of extending the range of electric vehicles and reducing carbon emission from the existing UK vehicle fleet.

The new technology, developed in conjunction with the University of Sunderland, was demonstrated to a group of leading opinion formers from the region by the team behind the innovation.

The breakthrough will significantly enhance the distance capabilities of electric vehicles, such as those being manufactured in the North East, overcoming a major barrier to commercialisation.

A research partnership has been established between Inova Power Limited and the University of Sunderland to commercialise the product.

Inova Power’s system extracts hydrogen from water, safely and cleanly, with the ability to revolutionise the development of electric and hybrid vehicles. The hydrogen produced can also be used in conventional engine powered vehicles.

Inova Power is headed by managing director Mark Nailis, a chartered engineer with more than 20 years’ experience in developing and commercialising new products across a range of markets, including the automotive and defence sectors; and chairman David Bowles OBE, a former Northern Development Company director and current chairman of NDI Ltd and Entrust.

We like innovations such as this and so did the business leaders and media that attended our launch - we achieved coverage on all the key newspapers and radio and journalists enjoyed seeing model cars powered by hydrogen in our demonstration.
