NewHydrogen, Inc. recently provided an update on its innovative ThermoLoop™ technology in collaboration with the University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB) to revolutionize the production of green hydrogen. The company aims to reduce production costs by using a novel low-cost thermochemical process that utilizes heat instead of electricity to split water into oxygen and hydrogen. This approach is expected to significantly lower the cost of green hydrogen, which is currently dominated by the expensive process of using green electricity. Since its inception in August 2023, the collaboration has achieved notable milestones, including designing a reactor test stand, identifying promising materials, and validating the science behind ThermoLoop™. The UCSB team plans to further explore material systems, enhance testing capabilities, and conduct a technoeconomic analysis to optimize the efficiency of hydrogen production. NewHydrogen's CEO, Steve Hill, expressed satisfaction with the progress made by the UCSB team and highlighted the importance of their efforts in advancing the green hydrogen economy. By leveraging this breakthrough technology, the collaboration aims to usher in a more cost-effective and sustainable method of producing green hydrogen, reducing the dependency on environmentally harmful resources like coal, oil, and natural gas.
