Research abstract

We are building a technology that produces low cost hydrogen while releasing low or no carbon dioxide emissions. Key to our affordable hydrogen is the co-generation of valuable co-products like: Sulfuric Acid or Cement. Our processes are lower emission, lower energy and lower cost than conventional production method. We validated a proof-of-concept in our lab in May 2019 and our objective is to develop a field test prototype by January 2021. In 2020, we will scale to 1 kg of hydrogen per day and continue testing and improving our technology. In 2019, Hydrogen is responsible for 2 – 3 % of global greenhouse gas emission, the cement industry for 6 – 8%, and transportation for 13 -15%. If we succeed on deploying our technology to meet the entire cement market, we could produce enough hydrogen for the entire hydrogen market, plus enough hydrogen to power all the cars in the world. This technology could pioneer a new industry revolution and reduce global greenhouse gas emission by more than 10%.
