All it needs is water to produce hydrogen.
to be stored and transported safely. The breakthrough was touted as a key discovery to making the fuel viable. After all, hydrogen as a fuel is very attractive due to its environmental benefits, but its storage and transport have long been notoriously complicated endeavors.process in green hydrogen energy that generates large amounts of ultra-pure hydrogen on demand and that is safe to store and transport.
"EAT has developed a revolutionary porous silicon material, known as Si+, which has the ability to generate ultra-pure hydrogen from a water source and which acts as a solid-state hydrogen generating material – one that is compact, robust, and easily transportable – solving many of the issues that have inhibited the growth of the hydrogen economy," said the energy firm in a press release.When hydrogen is needed, you simply submerge the Si+ powder into water and mix it.
The powder functions at a wide range of ambient temperatures between 0-80 °C . And better yet, apart from the hydrogen gas, all that's left over is silicon dioxide, the major constituent of sand. Not a bad process, eh? The sand can then be used in construction or even to make a nice beach.
This means Si+ is extremely environmentally friendly, having a very low carbon footprint. EAT says its systems are already under consideration from the Hong Kong Airport Authority, which is evaluating them as a way toIf the company can really deliver on its promise, without making the product too expensive, then we might be looking at our next mass-produced energy system.
