RMP is 501(c)3 non-profit organization registered in Michigan. We are committed to protecting fresh water resources by advocating for: sustainable energy production, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, remediating environmental pollution & rethinking waste management.
On October 22, 2024, RMP launched a Lithium-ion Battery Supply Chain Map with 531 North American locations, now expanded to 664 sites after a recent update. This includes 110 new lithium mine prospects and 23 copper mines, emphasizing upstream resources crucial for reducing dependency on China in the energy transition.
Hydrogen has been used in industry for over 100 years. Hydrogen’s primary industrial roles have been in oil refining and making fertilzer. H2 has a few other smaller industrial uses, but for the most part it’s just those two markets: oil refining and fertilizer. The entire global market is only 94 million tons per year. …

The false narrative about hydrogen for FCEVs is officially dead. Air Liquide opened their North Las Vegas renewable hydrogen liquefaction plant this month to provide green hydrogen to California FCEV drivers. Air Liquide’s $250 million investment is purpose built to supply green hydrogen to the California FCEV market for both cars & big class 8 …
