THE BEGINING OF A NEW ERA 


For centuries many have touted the possibility of a clean and pollution-free society.  Some have characterized those who dare to dream of a better tomorrow as "tree huggers," while others have waved judgment and offered an open ear to those who wish to tap into this realm of possibility and imagination.  

Today we are proud to announce that our mission and our message has come one step closer to its final purpose!  The purpose: To prove to the world that a clean and limitless energy does exist, and that man and nature can live in symbiosis rather than a perpetual state of mitigated destruction. 

We are excited to share this New York Times article written about our journey!

<![CDATA[Is Water The New Oil?]]>Mon, 21 Sep 2020 22:16:33 GMThttps://hydrogenhouseproject.org/articles/september-21st-2020

Mike Strizki is an inventor, scientist, engineer, and businessman. He runs and operates the Hydrogen House Project which has been off-grid with complete energy independence for over 18 years. Mike’s mission is to provide the world with a safe and reliable energy system that solves this century's greatest problem of storing renewable energy indefinitely with no environmental impact. The process is simple by utilizing the natural power of water and the sun. Water enters into an electrolyzer and molecules are split apart using solar energy. Hydrogen can be safely stored and used at any time, weeks, months, years, or centuries from now. The process has a negative carbon footprint. The only byproduct is pure drinkable H2O and medical-grade oxygen. “We’re converting waste products into energy the way mother nature does in a closed loop energy system. Nothing gets consumed in the process,” states Strizki. Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, it’s all around us from the trees to the solar system. Landfill, composts, sewage, and agricultural wastes all can be used to produce renewable energy. 
The Hydrogen House has survived natural disasters proving its resiliency. When Hurricane Sandy hit New Jersey, many people were left without power for weeks. Mike Strizki’s home maintained power thanks to stored hydrogen tanks and energy from his hydrogen-powered car. The Joule Box is the most commercially available energy device. It’s a portable power station that combines lightweight sun-tracking solar panels and a micro-wind turbine to store energy. The units are stackable and can be placed in any environment, from the desert to the top of a mountain and even the arctic. “People have the right to their own energy source. The power needs to be put back in the hands of the people,” states Strizki. Hydrogen energy is a new twist of the same fuel by eliminating our dependence on fossil fuels. Anything that can be done with fossil fuels, we can do with hydrogen.
A hydrogen car is a sleek driving power plant. During an emergency, it can work as a generator to power your home. The hydrogen vehicle stores hydrogen in a tank that powers a fuel cell to power an electric motor. Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are considered solid energy state energy with no moving parts. The vehicle has little to no maintenance. It lasts longer than batteries and has no weight penalty. It can pull a heavier load, and is 100% renewable. “Imagine being able to drink water straight from your car and utilizing that energy to power your home. We have the technology now to accomplish that.” Strizki emphasizes. Filling up your car with hydrogen is the same process as filling up with oil. We could easily convert our gas stations into hydrogen refueling stations if only the government would allow it.

Hydrogen Fuel Cells will dominate the world market once the infrastructure is adopted. We have the technologies and capabilities for complete residential and commercial infrastructure. The market is simply waiting for enough volume to drive down costs. At present, almost all hydrogen and fuel cell technologies are dependent on public funding. Countries like Japan, South Korea, China, Great Britain, Australia, France, Italy, Germany, and the coast of California are already at the lead. Companies like Airbus, Toyota, Honda, Hyperion, Nikola, and Bloom Energy are investing in hydrogen technology. “In the future, all trucks and buses will run on hydrogen. This is what we believe,” said Volvo Group Technical Director Thierry Hours in a recent meeting with senior officials from the Directorate-General for Research and Innovation and Transport of the European Commission. Japan is currently the leader in developing a hydrogen-powered society. The nationwide hydrogen economy is expected to grow exponentially by the year 2030, providing exciting business opportunities all over the world. In America, the pope currently owns a hydrogen-powered popemobile. NASA has been operating with hydrogen technology on every mission since Apollo. Hydrogen energy provides astronauts at the space station with heat, electricity, drinking water, and oxygen that can be reconverted using only sunlight outside the spacecraft. “We already have the blueprint to create an entire infrastructure system that is beneficial for the people and the planet,” Strizki emphasizes.
One of the biggest problems we face is global warming. The majority of greenhouse emissions can be eliminated with the technology we have today by utilizing hydrogen as our global fuel source. “The younger generation challenges everything. We must do things differently. Technology is rapidly changing and the whole world is moving with it. America has a rare opportunity to stay the energy capital of the world by developing sustainable infrastructure.” said Strizki. This technology could fundamentally change the way we fuel our lives, as we hope for a better world. We need companies to sponsor and raise awareness so we can inform the public and make it accessible to everyone. Anyone who wants to live in a clean world and never pay another energy bill again benefits from this technology. Join our hashtag #cleanenergyrevolution and share on social media. Let’s make a clean energy society a reality!

Hopewell, NJ. August 25, 2015 –
    The Hydrogen House Project announces the first commercially produced fully-permitted and affordable, solar-hydrogen, on/off-grid residence in the world located in Pennington, NJ. This major milestone in the development and advancement of clean renewable hydrogen energy technologies will be demonstrated to invited guests at a dedication ceremony on Friday, September 11, 2015.
    In 2006, Mike Strizki gained international acclaim by developing the original Hydrogen House, which was the first lived-in, solar-hydrogen home in the western hemisphere. Now, the Hydrogen House Project is pleased to announce a new home featuring the “OFF-GRID BOX” Energy System https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jk08Mul_yfw including ultra-filtration for water purification, state of the art LED lighting and super insulation creating a truly GREEN HOME. Unlike other solar homes, this home completes the renewable energy circle in that when the grid goes out this home still has power making full use of its solar system. Mike emphasizes: “The home is not only using clean renewable energy technologies, but also has a negative carbon footprint producing only pure water and medical grade oxygen as its by products.”
    The original Hydrogen House, which won the Clean Tech Award in 2008 from the New Jersey Clean Energy Program, has been operational for over 9 years. The system has survived hurricanes and winter storms proving the resiliency of the Hydrogen House Energy System. Since the first Hydrogen House, cost of the system has dramatically reduced so that it is now a viable and affordable option. In addition, the system qualifies for federal and state incentives.
    This Pennington, NJ home, owned by Alice DeTiberge, showcases the Hydrogen House Joule Box Clean Energy System which provides power fo rall of the amenities required in a home including a full kitchen, laundry, bathrooms, hot tub and multimedia entertainment systems. Alice said “With my new clean energy system I feel safe in my home, especially after what I experienced during Superstorm Sandy”. In addition, the system is fully capable of supporting electric and hydrogen refueling stations, which will be installed in the near future. In fact, the Toyota Mirai hydrogen fuel cell vehicle and the Millennium Reign portable refueling station will also be on display during the September 11th event. Due to the high level of interest in the Hydrogen House Joule Box system and hydrogen energy storage, Mike Strizki is establishing a commercial entity to handle the sales and service of the system.

<![CDATA[Hydrogen House Project Partners with New Jersey Audubon and National Wildlife Federation's Eco-Schools USA Program]]>Thu, 16 Oct 2014 00:25:34 GMThttps://hydrogenhouseproject.org/articles/hydrogen-house-project-partners-with-new-jersey-audobon-and-national-wildlife-federations-eco-schools-usa-programHopewell, NJ.  October 13, 2014 – Renewable energy is among the fastest growing job markets in America.  New Jersey Audubon is partnering with the Hydrogen House Project to help make sure that New Jersey students are well primed for the trend.  The Hydrogen House is the only solar-hydrogen fueled residence in North America and owner, inventor, and Hopewell resident, Mike Strizki has opened his doors to educate students about how and why we should be diving head first into the future of renewable energy.  As the state coordinators of National Wildlife Federation’s (NWF) Eco-Schools USA program, New Jersey Audubon will be reaching out to its growing network of 129 Eco-Schools in New Jersey to help them take advantage of this unique educational opportunity.  

Eco-Schools USA is a program that provides free resources, recognition and support to schools integrating sustainability education in their existing curriculum.   Schools select from ten environmental pathways to focus on, including energy efficiency, climate change, biodiversity, and school grounds.  Through the energy pathway, the program encourages students to investigate renewable and non-renewable energy sources and understand the impact that natural resource consumption has on public health, wildlife and habitat.  New Jersey Audubon provides dedicated staff to support Eco-Schools in their efforts and help them connect with local resources that can serve as models for best practice.  

That’s where Hydrogen House Project comes in.  The Hydrogen House has been retrofitted to convert solar energy into hydrogen gas. The gas provides clean electricity by way of hydrogen fuel cells, and can be stored indefinitely.  The home system produces enough power to run Mike Strizki’s fuel cell car for free.  Unlike fossil fuels that release CO2 and other emissions when burned, Strizki's clean energy systems require no oil or gas wells to be drilled, and emit only chemically pure water and oxygen.  His non-profit organization, Hydrogen House Project offers in-depth educational tours to schools. The students are guided step-by step- through the process of how the off grid solar Hydrogen House works. They learn how the technology can change the environmental health of the planet.

Eric Stiles, president & CEO, New Jersey Audubon says, “Our consumption habits of energy can impact wildlife and the environment, and we all benefit from exploring a variety of options of reducing our reliance on non-renewable energy sources. New Jersey Audubon’s partnership with Hydrogen House Project provides a unique opportunity for New Jersey students to experience one of these possibilities, and get a glimpse of what the future of energy might look like.”

As the state’s lead conservation and education organization with a statewide network of community-based centers, land sanctuaries and 20,000 members, New Jersey Audubon is well positioned to help schools use the environment as an experiential learning tool.  New Jersey Audubon staff promotes Hydrogen House Project as a learning opportunity through NWF’s Eco-Schools USA Program.  

“As students envision, plan, execute, and communicate their experiences through the various Eco-Schools pathways – including the energy pathway – they become equipped with the skills, knowledge and tools needed to lead as responsible citizens of a globalized world.  These students are the next generation of engineers, scientists, and policy makers” says Eco-Schools coordinator and New Jersey Audubon staff, Jennifer Dowd.  

About Eco-Schools

Eco-Schools is an international program in 60 countries. The program, hosted by the National Wildlife Federation in the United States, and coordinated by New Jersey Audubon in New Jersey now has 129 schools registered throughout the state.  Eco-Schools USA in New Jersey supports and directly aligns with Sustainable Jersey for Schools point-based system.  With support from PSE&G, the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, the Horizon Foundation, and Spencer Savings Bank Eco-Schools USA is able to provide a staff person on the ground to help New Jersey schools reach their goals.  For more information: http://www.nwf.org/Eco-Schools-USA.aspx

<![CDATA[Hydrogen is the answer for the victims of typhoon yolanda]]>Fri, 13 Jun 2014 05:12:45 GMThttps://hydrogenhouseproject.org/articles/hydrogen-is-the-answer-for-the-victims-of-typhoon-yolandaPicture
Basic necessities such as electricity, water and housing are sadly still not available for thousands of people in the Philippines. Fortunately, their is hope to build back the infrastructure and have houses and buildings using hydrogen and solar power to meet their energy demands. Mike Strizki visited the Philippines to help with a project to provide power for 100 homes, and to customize a complete and cost-effective Solar-Hydrogen solution, including Photo-voltaic, Electrolyzer, Hydrogen Storage and Fuel Cell technologies. Beyond the initial 100 home project the city of Manila looks to backing up several hospitals using Solar-Hydrogen power. The Philippines needs to prepare for typhoon season by investing in hydrogen; this is the most effective way to keep people safe because typhoon victims would not have to rely on an outside source to obtain energy. This could be a major industrial step for the Philippines and prevent power outages caused by severe weather, make people fully independent from the electricity grid, and provide clean drinking water.

The Philippines is a tropical country with an abundance of sun and rain. Fortunately H2O and sunlight are the main components needed to power an entire city! We have the technology, now it is time to urge the Philippines to protect their citizens and prevent another disaster. This technology can and will save lives!
