Making green hydrogen affordable, sustainable, and reliable.

Our Story and Our Tech

Long Island Innovators Address Climate Change

Evolve ™ technology was created in New York by two Long Island based innovators, Brian Gilman and Spencer Teplin.

Friends for decades, they sought solutions for the environmental needs of their families and the world. In their garages and workshops, they developed their electrolyzer by making it simpler and more durable than electrolyzers available at the time.

After studying traditional electrolyzers, finding them inefficient and expensive, they created a radical polymer-based redesign, eliminating precious metals. 

With climate change threatening fresh water supplies, they designed Evolveâ„¢ to use seawater, without the need for desalination.

Things really got interesting when they used seawater to replace the costly feedstock of deionized water, used by traditional electrolyzers.

Their first experiment with seawater, showed promising results at an astonishing 7 degree celsius.

Patents with 81 noble claims were soon awarded to Evolve™ in 9 countries.

Evolve™ R&D has been further tested and verified internationally by several international labs and universities, including NREL, Calgary University, Strathclyde University, and AERTC at SUNY Stony Brook.

Eliminating the standard costly and slow process of manufacturing by CNC milling, Evolveâ„¢ is a polymer solution that can be mass manufactured by injection molding, securing current and future jobs in the local manufacturing community. In 2022, Evolve Hydrogen Inc. won the US Department of Energy’s “H-Prize” Phase One, among only 9 other winners, and the only company in the northeast.
"We want people to treat our electrolyzer like a toaster; a simple, durable, everyday appliance."

The Electrolyzer... Reimagined.​

H-Prize, "Hydrogen Shot" Phase One Winner.

In the US Department of Energy’s “H-Prize” Phase One, we were among only 9 other winners, and the only company in the northeast. 

Cost effective green hydrogen on demand.

Efficient by design, with a new approach to hydrogen electrolysis.
  • No precious metals, no expensive deionized water feedstock.
  • Electrolysis from virtually any water source:
  • including waste treatment water, and seawater, the world’s most plentiful water source. 
  • No desalination required.
  • By injection molding, our units can be produced in hours compared to competitors’ months.
  • Recyclable parts, with longer duty cycles and far less maintenance.
  • Evolve Hydrogen Inc is continuing innovations with unique approaches to end use and storage

Brian Gilman is the Founder & CEO who designed and developed Evolveâ„¢ to revolutionize the hydrogen industry.

He wrote patent US9476133, created 59 patent drawings, assembled the team, and forged public relations with potential customers.

Brian was raised in a family of engineers, and his creative career path never strayed far from the precision work of his roots. His inspired leap and talents in design enabled him to take his vision of Evolveâ„¢ and make it reality.

Brian has always had a passion for cleaner fuel sources, and in 2011 he decided to make one of his envisioned designs come to life. He designed the Evolveâ„¢ device to create high volumes of hydrogen for fuel cells and combustion engines. His extensive research into electro-conductive materials led him to draft the design based on his findings.
