Wallingford gas producer Proton Energy Systems has renamed itself Proton OnSite.
The name and logo change reflects Proton’s developing business model to move beyond onsite generation of hydrogen to other gases such as nitrogen, oxygen and zero air.
“We don’t produce energy, we produce gas,” Proton CEO and President Robert Friedland said. “We bring the gas solution to our client – be it hydrogen gas to a power plant, nitrogen gas to a laboratory or oxygen to a submarine.”
Proton was founded in 1996. Last year, the company opened a fueling station for hydrogen fuel cell cars, part of a plan to put 12 fueling stations up and down the East Coast.
“Because we have continued to grow and develop beyond the expectations of Proton Energy Systems, we have decided to change our name and logo to best address our diversity of markets and reflect the growing array of commercial products and services that we offer beyond hydrogen generation,” Proton Chairman Tom Sullivan said.
