Behind Hydrogen

Network for the international hydrogen industry

There is no hydrogen fueled economy for a very simple reason.
There is no hydrogen available to the public, even though it is the most prevalent element in the Universe.

Industry uses billions of pounds of hydrogen per year but unless you are in the oil refining, plastics production, edible food oil, paint manufacturing, computer chip manufacturing, steel making, or other major industry and want to use hydrogen on an industrial scale, it is hard to come by. The great majority of industrial hydrogen is made by reforming natural gas, a process that releases carbon dioxide and consumes a limited and depleting resource.

The simple way to make hydrogen is through the process of electrolysis. If the electrical input comes from solar or wind or micro-hydro generated electricity, then it is carbon emissions free. When hydrogen fuel is consumed, in a fuel cell, an engine, or by burning, it produces only pure water vapor.

There are laboratory hydrogen electrolyzers, which put out small quantities of extremely pure hydrogen for running lab instruments and tests and are very expensive.

There are over 120 hydrogen fueling stations that have been built around the world. Most were built in city clusters, are captive to bus or truck or taxi fleetsand cost from one and one half million to two million USD each.

There are industrial scale hydrogen electrolyzers for hydrogen production for such things as hydrogen cooling gas for utility generators and hydrogen process gas for pilot production lines in many industries.

However there are no electrolyzers that are large enough,, simple enough, low cost enough and available to the public so that any one who wants to start powering some of their lifestyle with hydrogen fuel, they can do so-
UNTIL NOW!
HySolgenics, Inc. is developing low cost electrolyzers that will fill the need for publicly available hydrogen fuel.
