KARGEN has been committed to the research, production, and industrial application of MOFs, having developed several types of MOFs that can efficiently store hydrogen. Recently, Professor Omar Yaghi, the inventor of MOFs, in collaboration with Nobel laureate Fraser Stoddart, established H2MOF Company to accelerate the commercialization of MOF-based hydrogen storage. The trend is clear, and the future is here.

In the heart of California, a startup named H2MOF is poised to tackle the challenge of hydrogen storage, a hurdle often referred to as the Achilles' heel of the hydrogen economy.

H2MOF, established in 2021, has its CEO and co-founder Sameer Taha stating, 'Hydrogen storage and transportation remain real technological bottlenecks. If we can contribute to solving these storage and transport issues, it will unlock true demand and facilitate the real adoption of hydrogen. Given the pace of research progress we are observing, as well as the acceleration brought about by artificial intelligence and all these computer-generated models, I anticipate a qualitative leap in the coming years.

"The breakthrough in the biggest challenges facing the hydrogen economy is just a matter of time,' said Fraser Stoddart, Nobel laureate and founder of H2MOF, in an interview, highlighting that the world is at the cusp of a 'quantum leap' in the hydrogen energy race."

1. Two Superstars

The founders of H2MOF can truly be called superstars. Fraser Stoddart is one of the most influential scientists in the fields of nanotechnology and supramolecular chemistry today. He is also a pioneer in the science of artificial molecular machines and the discoverer of the mechanical bond in supramolecular chemistry, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2016.

The other co-founder, Omar M. Yaghi, is also among the top inventors in the world today and is the second most-cited chemist in the world.
