The rapidly evolving New Energy Economy will clearly depend on the emergence and adoption of cutting-edge energy technologies. However, these innovations will only take us so far unless we have readily available, truly efficient, reliable and cost-effective energy storage systems. Advanced materials will be the key driver behind storage system improvements; whether it's holding electrostatic charge in ultracapacitors or improving natural gas safety and cost in vehicles, it is the materials that are truly driving innovation. EnerG2's engineered materials are tailor-made - standing on their own or in combination with other solutions - to drive energy efficiencies that will, in turn, drive our energy future.

Ultracapacitor Electrode Materials
Ultracapacitors, or electric double layer capacitors, are quickly supplanting and complementing traditional battery technology in a variety of industries. Carbon-based electrode materials are the primary determinants of ultracapacitor performance and cost. EnerG2's engineered carbon materials can significantly enhance the power performance, energy density and overall cost of ultracapacitor-based energy storage systems.

Adsorbed Natural Gas Storage
Today's natural gas reserves far exceed estimated global oil reserves and provide a suitable near-term alternative to petroleum-fueled vehicles. As the penetration of natural gas in combustion-engine applications accelerates, greater emphasis is being placed on the economics and safety of current energy storage technologies. EnerG2's carbon materials are tailor-made to adsorb methane molecules, the primary energy content of natural gas.

Hydrogen Storage
The promise of clean, efficient power from hydrogen fuel cells requires significant advancements in hydrogen storage technologies. Metal and chemical hydrides are well known for the volumetric and gravimetric density of their hydrogen content, but they suffer from serious limitations in a manageable storage system. EnerG2 combines its carbon materials with chemical hydrides to form nano-composites that are dense with hydrogen and significantly improve hydrogen storage system performance.
