Naco Technologies

For those industrial hydrogen producers who are going to save humanity from “fossil fuel monster” and drive the Clean Energy Revolution. These companies need to scale massively in order to achieve market demand to reach Carbon Neutrality. But they are currently constrained, because catalytic process which strips clean hydrogen from water is extremely expensive and dependent on noble materials. When industrial hydrogen producers start trying to scale, they are going to face skyrocketing prices of noble materials like platinum as they play a critical role in separating hydrogen from water. The same price increase is going to happen on the consumption side of hydrogen vehicles like airplanes, trains and cars. Naco Technologies creates specialized nano-coatings and new materials that replace the need for platinum and other expensive materials in the production and usage of hydrogen at a massive scale. Naco Technologies: • Improves performance of hydrogen systems. • Provides unique material recipes and coating solutions. • Reduces significantly hydrogen system costs. Unlike other R&D entities, Naco Technologies provides solutions with secure IP and industrialization ready. Our customers are able to immediately proceed with hydrogen system production scaling without material or competition constrain.

Key Risks

Reliance on specific technologies like magnetron sputtering could pose a risk if alternatives emerge.
Market acceptance of nano-coating solutions in the green energy sector may be slower than anticipated.
Scaling production to meet growing demand could strain resources and infrastructure.
Competition in the nano-coating market may intensify as more players enter the space.
Ensuring the long-term durability and performance of nano-coatings under real-world conditions is crucial.

Opportunities

Expanding partnerships with electrolyzer and fuel cell manufacturers.
Developing specialized nano-coatings for other green energy applications, such as batteries and chemical reactors.
Leveraging their proprietary High-Speed Magnetron Sputtering (HMS) technology for further innovation.
Securing additional funding and investment to support R&D and market expansion.
Exploring licensing options to extend their technology's benefits to similar companies worldwide.
