Florida Patent of the Month – December 2025
A breakthrough in green energy is making clean fuel more accessible than ever before. BoMax Hydrogen LLC recently secured U.S. Patent No. 12485409, titled ‘Methods and systems for photo-activated hydrogen generation’. This innovation uses light to trigger hydrogen production without relying on expensive rare metals or hazardous materials.
Innovative Light-Driven Fuel Production
The system uses specialized nanoparticles and biological catalysts to split water into hydrogen gas. Unlike traditional methods that require massive amounts of electricity, this technology relies on light as the primary energy source. This approach mimics natural processes to create a sustainable energy cycle. The reaction remains stable for extended periods, ensuring a reliable flow of clean fuel.
Localized Solutions for Global Energy Needs
The patented technology enables onsite hydrogen generation, which eliminates the high costs of transporting fuel. By producing hydrogen where it is needed, the system reduces the risks associated with high-pressure storage and delivery. This decentralized model could power everything from residential homes to industrial facilities. It offers a path to energy independence using abundant, natural resources.
Clean Technology with Real-World Impact
The BoMax system produces zero emissions and leaves only water as a byproduct. By using inexpensive enzymes instead of rare earth minerals, the company has lowered the barrier to entry for green energy. This scalable solution addresses the global energy crisis with a practical and affordable alternative. It represents a significant step forward in the transition toward a carbon-neutral future.

What is the R&D Tax Credit?
The Research & Experimentation Tax Credit (or R&D Tax Credit), is a general business tax credit under Internal Revenue Code section 41 for companies that incur research and development (R&D) costs in the United States. The credits are a tax incentive for performing qualified research in the United States, resulting in a credit to a tax return. For the first three years of R&D claims, 6% of the total qualified research expenses (QRE) form the gross credit. In the 4th year of claims and beyond, a base amount is calculated, and an adjusted expense line is multiplied times 14%. Click here to learn more.
