NewHydrogen, Inc., based in Santa Clarita, California, has recently welcomed Dr. Yikyeom Kim to the UCSB Technology Team to enhance the development of their ThermoLoop™ technology for green hydrogen production. Dr. Kim's background in redox catalysts and gas-solid reactions, coupled with his prior research on chemical looping hydrogen production, positions him well to contribute to the advancement of cost-effective thermochemical water splitting. The innovative ThermoLoop™ process, funded by NewHydrogen at UCSB, focuses on utilizing heat instead of electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen, potentially offering a more economical solution for green hydrogen production. Dr. Kim's addition to the team is expected to drive progress towards achieving the company's objectives in hydrogen technology. By leveraging his expertise and collaborating with renowned researchers at UCSB, including Dr. Philip Christopher and Dr. Eric McFarland, Dr. Kim aims to identify ideal materials that can optimize the ThermoLoop™ process. NewHydrogen's vision to revolutionize green hydrogen production aligns with the global shift towards sustainable energy sources. The ThermoLoop™ technology represents a significant step in making green hydrogen more accessible and cost-effective, ultimately contributing to the growth of the hydrogen economy. With ongoing research and development efforts, NewHydrogen and its team at UCSB are dedicated to realizing the potential of ThermoLoop™ and driving innovation in renewable energy solutions.
