Hydrogen is the Solution to Energy Independence.Climate Change.Global Sustainability.

The transition to renewable energy starts here.

Hydrogen will awaken the biggest economic opportunity of our lifetime.

The race for new energy solutions has begun. We need to embrace clean hydrogen for its amazing qualities as an energy carrier.

We envision a world where renewable hydrogen is a clean, safe, and reliable source of energy that powers everything from vehicles to homes and industries worldwide.

The time for action is now.

We are passionate about sustainability

Roy McAlister founded The Hydrogen Association in 1964 to usher in the clean, healthful, and peaceful Renewable Resources Revolution. This revolution is founded on a scientifically validated new capacity for co-producing hydrogen fuel and solid carbon from a wide variety of organic sources—from carbohydrates to proteins to fossil fuel hydrocarbons.

With a new way to harvest hydrogen and carbon at the same time, we can transform a problem (carbon greenhouse gas emissions and carbon soot pollution) into a lucrative new business. Carbon is emerging as a new material resource for manufacturing. And the value of carbon co-harvested with hydrogen makes hydrogen production more affordable.

We can’t wait decades to start achieving a significant drawdown of atmospheric CO2 and decarbonization of the global energy supply. The climate change emergency is simply too great. This website highlights multiple hydrogen-based solutions to achieve climate change mitigation, energy independence, and sustainable prosperity worldwide.”

We are passionate about sustainability

Roy McAlister has been a professional engineer, author, and humanitarian for over forty-five years. Roy is the inventor of Metrol, and holds over 300 patents in renewable energy.

We can’t wait 30 years to achieve a significant drawdown of atmospheric CO2 and decarbonization of the global energy supply. The climate change emergency is simply too great. McAlister Technologies Innovations has created multiple solutions to achieve climate change mitigation, unlimited clean energy, and sustainable prosperity worldwide.”

To usher in a Revolution in Renewable Resources, Roy McAlister has demonstrated a new capacity for hydrogen fuel and carbon as a 21st-century manufacturing resource to overcome the limitations of steel, aluminum, copper, and silicon.

With a new way to harvest hydrocarbons, the productive use of carbon changes the economic viability of hydrogen fuel.

What We Do

57 Years of Research, Development, and Innovation. Founded In 1966

The Hydrogen Association is dedicated to research, development, advocacy, education, and humanitarian efforts.

We focus on hydrogen technologies that

  • reduce carbon emissions,
  • mitigate the impacts of climate change,
  • increase energy security, and
  • support economic growth.

We’ve advocated for the transition to zero-emissions, renewable resources since 1964.

Hydrogen Is The Key

Hydrogen-Based Solutions

Hydrogen is an energy carrier.

Hydrogen can be made by splitting water (H2O) into its two components: hydrogen and oxygen.

Hydrogen can also be made by splitting carbon-rich organic substances that rot or burn (such as biomass, biowaste, and hydrocarbons) in zero-emissions processes that

  • use renewable energy,
  • co-harvest carbon, and
  • clean Earth’s atmosphere and water.

This clean hydrogen can

  • fuel vehicles,
  • feed fuel cells,
  • run electricity generators, and
  • power industrial processes.
