Bing Energy International has an exclusive commercialization agreement to use Florida State University professor Dr. Jim P. Zheng’s patented breakthrough nanotechnology to create a more commercially viable fuel cell. Building on the groundbreaking work of Dr. Ben Wang, inventor of buckypaper, Zheng has pioneered a fuel cell that incorporates a thin membrane composed of carbon nanotubes, reducing the need for expensive platinum that, until now, have made fuel cells too expensive to be widely marketed.


Our Mission

Bing Energy’s fuel cell innovations – based on breakthrough nano-technology – will lead to power generation that is lower in cost, more efficient and cleaner for the environment – all while bringing increased stability to the electric grid.
