🚀 Stage 1 PoC Completed — Stage 2 in progress  ·  📋 Provisional Patent Filing underway for our DAFC process

India's First Startup Dedicated to Direct Ammonia Fuel Cells

Clean Energy from Ammonia

One fuel cell platform. Many applications. A greener future.

H₂One Cleantech is India's first startup focused exclusively on Direct Ammonia Fuel Cell (DAFC) technology. We develop novel, low-cost, and highly efficient materials that enable ammonia to be converted directly into clean electricity — without hydrogen cracking or combustion.

Environment-friendly by design
The process produces only nitrogen (N₂) and water (H₂O) as outputs — zero CO₂ at the point of use.

Novel non-precious materials • Direct ammonia → electricity • Scalable across applications • Clean, quiet, and future-ready
