Fourier

1904 Colony St., Mountain View, CA, 94043, United States

Overview

Fourier designs hydrogen electrolyzer modules no larger than two standard server racks, using arrays of small "blade" electrolyzers managed by software. Each module contains about 20 blades fed by a shared pump and powered by lightly modified, commodity data‑center power supplies. The company’s control software monitors individual blades similar to a battery management system, optimizing output and detecting degradation. Fourier has run two lab‑scale pilots that produce about one kilogram of hydrogen per hour with a pharmaceutical manufacturer and a solar energy company. It is deploying two commercial‑scale pilot plants—one at a petrochemical plant in Ohio and another at a Fremont, California aerospace parts company—expected to be operating by June. Fourier targets customers that need 6–20 kilograms per hour (roughly 300 kW to 1 MW of capacity). The company says it can deliver hydrogen for $6–$7 per kilogram (ex‑incentives) versus customer current prices of about $13–$14 per kilogram.
