    Xplorobot

    Xplorobot delivers AI-powered field intelligence through cost-effective smart sensors deployed by hand, drone, or robot. The system detects anomalies, drives predictive insights, and strengthens asset performance using real-world data verified through human-in-the-loop validation. To overcome the high cost of retrofitting legacy infrastructure, Xplorobot uses smartphone-based sensors that create structured asset maps and localized multi-sensor data for predictive maintenance, emissions detection, and infrastructure analytics. Validated by the EPA and DOE, Xplorobot operates at more than 4,000 sites across 16 countries with clients including ExxonMobil, Shell, and Waste Management.

    Ekona Power Inc.

    Development and Field Testing of a Tri-generation Pyrolysis (TGP) System for Low-cost, Clean Hydrogen Production

    The project will demonstrate Ekona’s novel Pulse Methane Pyrolysis (PMP) process for low-cost clean hydrogen production with a solid carbon by-product. The project will additionally demonstrate a Direct Carbon Fuel Cell (DCFC), which when added to the PMP, creates a tri-generation pyrolysis (TGP) system.

    Development and Testing of a Proof-of-Concept Tri-Generation Pyrolysis (TGP) Platform for Low-Cost Green Hydrogen Production

    Ekona had to show a proof-of-concept for the Pulse Methane Pyrolysis (PMP) reactor and a Direct Carbon Fuel Cell to validate the technology to TRL3 and inform subsequent prototype, brass-board, and field trial development.
