Overview

BayoTech develops modular hydrogen generation, transport, and storage systems that produce hydrogen close to the point of use. Founded in 2015 in Albuquerque, the company commercializes technology originally developed at Sandia National Laboratories. BayoTech's headquarters includes an 18,000-square-foot Center of Excellence at 8601 Paseo Alameda NE. In January 2021 the company announced up to $157 million in equity from Newlight Partners with participation from Fortistar, Cottonwood Technology Fund, and Sun Mountain Capital.

Why BayoTech is interesting

Sandia National Labs spillover in practice: BayoTech licensed core SMR technology from Sandia, built an 18,000 sq ft Albuquerque Center of Excellence, and raised up to $157M from Newlight Partners (Jan 2021) with Cottonwood Technology Fund among early backers — hydrogen hardware, not quantum pitch decks.
