TransPower is an advanced technology company dedicated to the promotion of zero-emission transportation solutions (ZETS) – defined as vehicles and transportation systems that produce no harmful emissions, or extremely negligible pollutants, at the point of operation. Zero-emission transportation solutions not only improve the environment by reducing smog, greenhouse gases, and other forms of air pollution, but many ZETS technologies also help reduce consumption and depletion of fossil fuels.
A new part of the TransPower strategy to promote zero-emission technologies is the establishment of the Hydrogen Risk Management Network, which can provide liability insurance and other risk management services to organizations involved in hydrogen utilization, including companies that develop, manufacture, or operate products that use hydrogen. » Read More

 Advanced Rail Systems - Rail systems are one of the most efficient and environmentally-friendly forms of transportation. Advanced electric rail systems, employing new technologies such as magnetic levitation ("Maglev"), have shown the potential to transport people at speeds of up to 350 miles per hour. Advanced, high-speed rail systems may change the way people travel in the 21st Century, and greatly increase the use of zero-emission transportation.

 Battery-Electric Vehicles - All-electric vehicles operating on pure battery power do not produce any tailpipe emissions, and can be up to 99 percent cleaner than conventional vehicles, even when power-plant emissions are included. If electric vehicles recharge using renewable energy sources like wind, solar, or hydropower, they cause no air pollution at all. Advances in battery technology are making electric vehicles practical in an expanding range of applications.

 Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles - Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles enable zero-emission transportation without the range and other limitations of battery-electric vehicles. In a fuel cell vehicle, a simple chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen in the fuel cell produces electrical energy, and the only emissions byproduct is water. The electrical energy produced by the fuel cell is used to power an electric motor, which drives the vehicle's wheels.

 Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles - A hydrogen internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle uses a traditional ICE that has been modified to use hydrogen fuel. Hydrogen-powered ICEs can achieve similar environmental benefits to vehicles using hydrogen fuel cells, with lower acquisition costs and less complicated maintenance.

 Hydrogen Delivery Systems - Adoption of hydrogen-fueled vehicles is becoming more practical with recent advances in hydrogen delivery systems. Existing hydrogen suppliers can deliver hydrogen to just about any site, either via pipeline or in tanks carried by trucks. As an alternative to purchasing remotely-produced hydrogen, vehicle operators have an expanding range of options for producing hydrogen on site, either through reformation of hydrocarbons or electrolysis of water.

 Hydrogen Storage Systems - At a vehicle refueling site and on board vehicles, hydrogen can be stored as a gas or as a liquid, and can also be stored in the form of metal hydrides. Advances in all types of hydrogen storage technologies are helping to improve the performance and cost-effectiveness of hydrogen-powered vehicles.
