“We are excited to welcome PWWR into the Viridian family of companies we represent. We are all well aware of the transformative power of hydrogen. Utilizing PWWR’s newly developed prototype of the micro-combined heat and power systems, and pending off -grid, back-up power generators, will be of tremendous value to our various connections across the region,” according to Mr. Saad Khan, Partner of Viridian Hydrogen UAE.

Building off the Company’s launch of the prototype of the Jupiter 1.0 hydrogen-powered fuel cell, Viridian will be able to work with a variety of companies and governmental agencies in the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region to maximize the potential of one of the most cost-effective hydrogen-fuel cells developed. The key stakeholders in Viridian have extensive experience in renewable energy production in the Middle East that when coupled with their deep history in the region, will result in a great partnership for PWWR to enter into sales agreements, joint ventures and manufacturing agreements in order to monetize PWWR’s Jupiter 1.0 and future hydrogen-powered fuel cells.

PWWR will be joining the Viridian Hydrogen Advisory Council (“VHAC”) to capitalize on the variety of hydrogen focused projects that are being explored in partnership with numerous governments and Fortune500 companies as a result of Viridian’s participation in Expo2020 in Dubai.

The UAE is positioning itself on becoming a global leader in hydrogen production, distribution and utilization. With the help of both private and public partnerships the collaboration between PWWR and Viridian will aid in the UAE’s goal of becoming a hub for renewable development and production for the MENA region.
