| Abstract Scope |
Demand for low carbon intensity hydrogen is rising, yet conventional production methods face challenges like high electricity usage and infrastructure costs. An innovative reactor powered by the eXERO™ technology platform addresses these issues by eliminating significant electricity needs and infrastructure. Achieving over 99.5% hydrogen purity without purification systems, the reactor demonstrates remarkable efficiency and reliability in pilot plant trials. Data collected from extensive pilot operations informs further development, crucial for commercial-scale deployment in sectors like steel and chemical manufacturing. Now, an ongoing demonstration plant for our H2Gen™ mode of operation showcases groundbreaking results, offering a pathway to economic hydrogen production from waste gases without external electricity. This zero-electricity electrolytic hydrogen reactor enables industry transition to net-zero, promoting sustainable practices and localized hydrogen supply chains, thus addressing transportation challenges, and reducing costs. |
