Hydrogen Research Laboratory (HRLab)

Click the image above for a panoramic view of the lab. Be sure to 'zoom out', then hold the left mouse button down and drag to rotate the view.

The Hydrogen Research Laboratory (HRLab) was established by Dr. Sean McGrady's research group in 2005 to accelerate and facilitate the development of advanced hydrogen storage materials. These materials could revolutionize energy storage and portable power technology by providing clean, safe, efficient and inexpensive alternatives to energy storage. We work closely with our indusrial partner, HSM systems, to not only develope, but commercialze hydrogen storage technology.
We are located in rooms 42 and 125 the Chemistry department at the University of New Brunswick (UNB). We are open to any and all collaborations, please contact the lab manager, Dr. Shane Beattie, (contact info below) to discuss equipment use. Our equipment is listed below:
