H-Prize in the Press


Americans have a heritage of meeting challenges:



Today’s challenge is Energy Security

H-Prize -- an entrepreneurial challenge and incentive to attract the best and brightest minds to solve the outstanding problems related to moving to a new form of energy.

The H-Prize is a monetary reward to innovators who conquer the technical science challenges of moving to a hydrogen economy. Science breakthroughs in storage, production, utilization, and distribution will receive $1 million. Up to four awards would be made every other year. A successful prototype use of hydrogen can expect a $4 million award, and the grand prize would be a significant cash reward.
Innovation isn’t restricted by timelines. Prizes are the most non-governmental way for government to act, paying only for results that achieve the goal. 		We envision teams of public-private partnerships, universities, start-ups and garage inventors to take the H-Prize challenge: Americans can’t resist winning.
