HyperSolar stresses need for “greener” H2

HyperSolar, the developer of a breakthrough technology to produce renewable hydrogen using sunlight and water, has discussed the importance of understanding how hydrogen fuel is produced and implemented into hydrogen fuelling station infrastructure.

Recent product rollout announcements from auto manufacturers including Hyundai and Toyota, partnerships between Plug Power and brands like Walmart and Ace Hardware, and California’s recent investment and commitment to building 100 hydrogen fuelling stations – have sparked widespread support and analysis of the hydrogen fuel cell industry. However, as HyperSolar is quick to note, there is uncertainty from the public and private sectors as to where the hydrogen is produced that is to fuel these innovative technologies and infrastructure.

The key differentiator in hydrogen fuel production is the source from which it’s developed. Currently, most current and planned hydrogen fuelling stations dispense hydrogen fuel produced from natural gas, which is known as “brown hydrogen.” Like other fossil fuels, natural gas emits carbon into the environment when converted to useable fuel. By comparison, hydrogen fuel produced from renewable resources such as wind or solar, known as “green hydrogen,” is developed via a much cleaner process in which the only by-product is water. Despite natural gas being the dominant source of hydrogen, there is a growing opportunity for renewable production technology.
