Stuart Energy Systems Corp. (Mississauga, ON) and Hamilton Sundstrand Space Systems International Inc. (Windsor Locks, CT), a subsidiary of United Technologies Corp. (South Windsor, CT), announced an alliance to develop and market integrated hydrogen-generation products for vehicles, power generation and industrial uses.
Under the terms of the agreement, Hamilton Sundstrand will be the preferred supplier of proton-exchange membrane (PEM)-based electrolyser technology.
