VANCOUVER, BC and SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Ionomr Innovations, developer and manufacturer of the world's most advanced ion exchange membrane and polymer solutions for the hydrogen economy including fuel cells, hydrogen production, carbon utilization and advanced energy storage, has been named a 2022 Global Cleantech 100 Company by Cleantech Group.

Selected from among more than 10,000 entrepreneurs, the 100 chosen for the list represent the private, independent and for-profit companies best positioned to deliver solutions that will take the world from commitments to actions in the sprint to net zero. This is the 13^th edition of the widely respected annual guide. This year's list included entries from 94 countries. The sectors covered include Agriculture & Food, Enabling Technologies, Energy & Power, Materials & Chemicals, Resources & Environment and Transportation & Logistics.

"We're delighted with the on-going recognition we have received for the ground-breaking innovations Ionomr is bringing to market with our advanced ion exchange membrane and polymer materials," said Bill Haberlin, CEO of Ionomr Innovations. "Ionomr's superior materials make more efficient, cost competitive solutions possible, including eliminating expensive precious metal requirements from hydrogen production and CO₂ electrolysis, and supporting higher temperature recyclable fuel cell solutions."

The Global Cleantech 100 list combines Cleantech Group's research data with qualitative judgements from nominations and insight from a global, 85-member Expert Panel of leading investors and executives from corporations and industrials active in technology and innovation scouting. From pioneers and veterans to new entrants, the Expert Panel broadly represents the global cleantech community and results in a list with a powerful base of respect and support from many important players within the cleantech innovation ecosystem. The Global Cleantech 100 program is sponsored by Chubb.

"We have the science and ingenuity to solve most of the issues and there is the investment capital, in both private and public markets, to propel a three-decade transformation, to net zero," said Richard Youngman, CEO, Cleantech Group. "The 2022 Global Cleantech 100 companies show this in spades. What they, and hundred others like them, now need is braver regulators, policy makers and procurement departments, to enable such solutions to scale and go down their different cost curves much faster than the current trajectories."
