Fourier

Fourier is a clean energy technology company that develops on-site, on-demand hydrogen production systems designed to eliminate the need for transportation and storage by generating hydrogen where, when, and how it is needed most. The company's modular and scalable electrolysis system addresses the core challenges hindering hydrogen adoption: hazardous storage requiring extreme safety measures, transportation logistics costing 7-10x of production cost, and inefficiencies in production, compression, and decompression. Fourier's first product is an on-site hydrogen production system that serves three primary application areas: long-term distributed storage for renewable energy, alternate fuels for heavy transportation use cases, and better feedstock and processes for chemical and manufacturing industries. The company's engineering team brings experience from organizations including Tesla, Sila, Apple, Google, Lockheed Martin, Kairos Aerospace, Nel Hydrogen, Ballard, Electric Hydrogen, and Bloom Energy, with expertise spanning electrolyzer stack engineering, power electronics, manufacturing, and systems engineering. Fourier positions hydrogen as an energy-dense and clean fuel capable of meeting skyrocketing global energy demands driven by AI, advanced technologies, electrification, and evolving industries, providing solutions that are more reliable, secure, affordable, scalable, and cleaner. Founded in 2022 and headquartered in Palo Alto, California, Fourier has raised $18.5M in Series A funding from investors including General Catalyst, Paramark Ventures, Airbus Ventures, Borusan Ventures, GSBackers, Positive Ventures, and MCJ.
