NewHydrogen, Inc.

We are a developer of clean energy technologies, currently focused on green hydrogen production. Our technology uses water and heat directly, rather than electricity, to produce green hydrogen. Hydrogen is a key ingredient in fertilizers, transportation, oil refining, and the production of steel, glass, and pharmaceuticals. While nearly all hydrogen today is made from hydrocarbons, our process utilizes water, an infinite and renewable resource. The current common method for green hydrogen production involves splitting water into oxygen and hydrogen using an electrolyzer powered by green electricity from solar or wind. Green electricity is expensive, accounting for 73% of the cost of green hydrogen. By directly using heat, we aim to reduce the cost of green hydrogen. Inexpensive heat sources, such as concentrated solar, geothermal, nuclear reactors, and industrial waste heat, can be used in our thermochemical water splitting process. We are collaborating with a research team at UC Santa Barbara. Hydrogen is the most abundant clean energy, with 73% of the Sun composed of hydrogen. On a weight basis, hydrogen (142 MJ/kg) contains 3X as much energy as gasoline (46 MJ/kg) and 200X as much energy as lithium-ion batteries (0.6 MJ/kg). It can power electric vehicles or cities via fuel cells, or be combusted in gas turbines or internal combustion engines for power generation. Hydrogen is a zero-emission clean fuel, producing only water vapor when used.
