CLEAN HYDROGEN

FROM WATER & SUNLIGHT

SunHydrogen’s technology has the capacity to disrupt existing energy economies across a wide range of sectors including transportation, industry and shipping where fossil fuels are predominantly used.

HOW IT WORKS

Splitting Water into H₂ and O₂

The Solution: Photoelectrosynthetically Active Heterostructures (PAH)

Each PAH nanoparticle is a microscopic machine, composed of multiple layers enabling the solar electrolysis reaction to take place. It’s a process similar to what happens inside a plant cell during photosynthesis.

Individual nanoparticle

INDIVIDUAL NANOPARTICLE

Powered by solar energy, billions of our microscopic nanoparticles split apart water at the molecular level, extracting hydrogen for use as a clean energy source and leaving behind only clean oxygen as a byproduct.

NANOPARTICLE-BASED SOLAR GENERATOR

FINISHED HYDROGEN PANEL

Revolutionary Scalable Technology

We bundle billions of nanoparticles together to create a solar hydrogen panel. These panels can be mass-produced and implemented globally in smaller, localized settings or as high-production farms.

The SunHydrogen Difference

 

Central Production (The Old, Dirty Way)

The current method for scalable hydrogen production is environmentally unsound. Nearly all hydrogen today comes from fossil fuels like oil, coal and natural gas that drive up carbon emissions.

  • High capital investment for hydrogen delivery and transport infrastructure

  • High carbon footprint

Central Production Process
 

Distributed Production (The SunHydrogen Way)

SunHydrogen’s method is efficient, cost-effective and truly green. The future is now.

  • Zero carbon footprint

  • Low capital investments for transport and delivery

  • The most viable and economical approach

Rising Above Conventional Electrolyzers

Extensive power electronics contribute significantly to the total cost of operation for a traditional electrolysis process. High costs have been a major setback in the widespread implementation of electrolyzer technologies.

  • Because SunHydrogen directly uses the electrical charges created by sunlight to generate hydrogen, our nanoparticle technology does not rely on grid power or require the costly power electronics that conventional electrolyzers do.

  • While electrolyzers require high-purity water for operation, SunHydrogen’s technology can utilize water of varying purities.

  • SunHydrogen’s planned scalable system configuration of many individual hydrogen-generating panels also ensures redundancy, security and stability.
