Dr. Wang said, “There are challenges associated with hydrogen production, particularly the high cost of green hydrogen, which is currently around
Regarding the challenges associated with using rare metals like iridium in the process of water electrolysis for hydrogen production, Dr. Wang said, “The scalability issue due to the limited global production of iridium necessitates finding alternatives that are more abundant and cost-effective, while still maintaining similar catalytic performance and durability.” Dr. Wang also mentioned another type of water electrolyzer that uses low-cost catalyst materials but has different stability issues. The focus of his research is to resolve these issues and make the process more commercially viable.
They discussed the challenges of scaling innovative ideas from the lab to industry. Dr. Wang acknowledged a gap between academic research and industrial needs, and suggested that more collaboration between universities and industry could help bridge this gap. Dr. Wang said, “In order for electrolysis to play a significant role in decarbonizing chemicals and fuels in the future, we cannot overemphasize the importance of durability and scalability in scaling up technologies.”

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
