SANTA CLARITA, Calif., Jan. 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NewHydrogen, Inc. (OTCMKTS:NEWH), the developer of ThermoLoop™, a breakthrough technology that uses water and heat rather than electricity to produce the world’s cheapest green hydrogen, today announced a podcast featuring CEO Steve Hill and Dr. Daniel Kammen, a Professor of Energy at UC Berkeley.
Dr. Kammen emphasized that solar energy has become the cheapest form of energy for new plant construction, with prices dropping by
Dr. Kammen said, “I would like to stress the critical importance of ‘green’ hydrogen, produced from renewable sources, to achieve true decarbonization, differentiating it from “gray” or “blue” hydrogen produced from fossil fuels.” He highlighted Japan’s ambitious National Hydrogen Strategy as a potential model, outlining a scenario where Japan could fully decarbonize by the 2040s using renewable energy and hydrogen, achieving higher energy security at a lower cost than the current system. This would involve significant investment in offshore wind and a strategic integration of hydrogen into energy distribution.
He also addressed the role of electric vehicles (EVs) as mobile energy storage, emphasizing the potential for vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology to enhance grid flexibility and resilience. He advocates for mandated V2G capability in all new EVs, allowing them to return energy to the grid during periods of peak demand.
Dr. Kammen said, “I would like underscore the need for ensuring that the benefits of green hydrogen development, including job creation and environmental cleanup, are equitably shared among all communities, especially those historically burdened by pollution.” He proposes focusing on concentrated industrial hubs as ideal test cases for demonstrating the feasibility and benefits of green hydrogen, also providing a just and equitable transition.

About NewHydrogen, Inc.
NewHydrogen is developing ThermoLoop™ – a breakthrough technology that uses water and heat rather than electricity to produce the world’s lowest cost green hydrogen. Hydrogen is the cleanest and most abundant element in the universe, and we can’t live without it. Hydrogen is the key ingredient in making fertilizers needed to grow food for the world. It is also used for transportation, refining oil and making steel, glass, pharmaceuticals and more. Nearly all the hydrogen today is made from hydrocarbons like coal, oil, and natural gas, which are dirty and limited resources. Water, on the other hand, is an infinite and renewable worldwide resource.
Currently, the most common method of making green hydrogen is to split water into oxygen and hydrogen with an electrolyzer using green electricity produced from solar or wind. However, green electricity is and always will be very expensive. It currently accounts for
