Fuel cells have long held promise to transform the energy marketplace but have been held back by fuel-handling difficulties and high infrastructure costs. In 2005, Dr. Sanjiv Malhotra founded Oorja Protonics to solve these problems by developing a fuel cell that uses a common, readily-available liquid fuel, methanol. The company's hybrid approach, combining a fuel cell and a traditional battery, provides a high-power solution significantly reducing operating costs and green house gas emissions. Today, Oorja
Protonics is the leader in providing reliable and economical liquid fuel cells for the material handling industry.

Our flagship product, the OorjaPac, operates as an on-board battery charger for vehicles in the material handling industry. The OorjaPac's on-board sensors keep the vehicle's battery at a constant state of charge eliminating the need for battery swapping and rapid charging. The power system reduces the dependency on public utilities and reduces CO2 emissions by up to 66% when compared to charging batteries using the grid. Refueling takes less than one minute improving productivity and supplies enough power for an entire shift.
