The list identifies companies from across the globe that are expected to make the biggest impact in the pursuit of net zero.
Vancouver, B.C. / Rochester, N.Y. / San Francisco, CA– Following a stand-out year that included proof of product performance, a string of industry partnerships, public accolades, and a successful financing round, Ionomr Innovations Inc., developer and manufacturer of the world’s most advanced ion-exchange membrane and polymer solutions for the hydrogen economy, was recently named Cleantech Group’s 2024 Global Cleantech 100.
The Global Cleantech 100 is a comprehensive showcase of the most promising private companies in the cleantech ecosystem. The report identifies the innovators with outstanding technologies, original business models, and bold plans that enable action on the ever-increasing climate and environmental crisis.
“These innovative companies are driving positive change and are at the forefront of enabling the global transition to a more sustainable future,” said Richard Youngman, CEO, Cleantech Group. “The Global Cleantech 100 is a recognition of the market’s positive view on their progress to date and their potential impact in building a cleaner, decarbonized world.”
2024 marks the third year in a row that Ionomr has been named a Global Cleantech 100 company.
“Ionomr’s vision is to drive the hydrogen economy by revolutionizing the materials at the core of the technology,” said Bill Haberlin, CEO of Ionomr Innovations. “Our materials are more cost-effective and have the power to accelerate advancements in fuel cells, hydrogen production, carbon utilization and advanced energy storage.”
Ionomr’s materials do this all while eliminating the toxic “forever chemicals”, dubbed by some as the “asbestos of the 21st century” that are pervasive in conventional materials. These legacy “PFAS” toxins are the target of new regulations worldwide as the danger they pose becomes increasingly alarming.
Ionomr was founded in 2018 following a revolutionary chemistry breakthrough in the composition of polymer and membrane materials. Ionomr has since been selected to join the World Economic Forum’s Tech Pioneers, which brings together 100 companies from around the world that are pioneering breakthrough technologies and innovations aimed at tackling critical global challenges; named a Company-to-Watch as part of Deloitte Technology’s Fast 50™ program; and now for the third time, has been named to the Cleantech Group’s Global Cleantech 100.
In 2023, Ionomr completed a financing round that included financial support from industry players representing the full spectrum of the hydrogen ecosystem, underscoring how Ionomr is delivering proven competitive advantages to customers and their system users.
