Atom Alloys, a startup possessing exclusive global intellectual property rights for manufacturing explosion-resistant fuel tanks, has entered into a research and development (R&D) partnership with the Foundation for Science, Innovation & Development (FSID) affiliated with the Indian Institute of Science (IISc). This partnership represents the initial stage in our broader mission to progress patent-based solutions.

"Our strategic plan encompasses extensive research efforts aimed at proactive innovation and the creation of explosion-resistant fuel tanks and storage solutions customized for upcoming fuels, with a specific focus on hydrogen", stated Atom Alloys. In a global environment increasingly emphasizing sustainable energy solutions to combat climate change, hydrogen has emerged as a promising and prominent prospect. The potential of hydrogen as a clean energy source for the future is garnering significant interest as nations work towards reducing their carbon emissions.

However,  the path to adopting hydrogen as a clean energy alternative comes with its set of challenges. Hydrogen's high flammability necessitates specific infrastructure and safety measures during its storage and transportation. Atom Alloys acknowledges that incidents involving fires and explosions have presented significant risks. According to the company, their innovative solution offers a protective shield for the storage and transportation of various fuels, spanning from gasoline and diesel to aviation fuel, kerosene, and LPG/propane. The technology underwent testing at the reputable Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) in Texas, USA, and subsequently obtained certification from the Underwriters Laboratory (UL) in Illinois, USA.

The company asserts that its technology challenges the longstanding notion that fuel tanks are inherently prone to detonation in cases of fire or accidents. Originally developed to address issues of flammability and explosions in hydrocarbon fuel tanks, this technology is now being expanded to include hydrogen and other advanced fuels. Termed the "Atom Explosion Prevention System", it represents an innovative solution aimed at reducing the threat of explosions. The company has already secured patents in the United States, Japan, and Israel and is actively in the process of seeking patents and certifications in numerous other regions.
