Solar Power

A solar-thermal water cracker will use concentrated sunlight as a heat source for the hydrogen production process. The heat generated by the dish concentrator converts water into hydrogen and oxygen which are both extracted from the process.

Hydrogen can be stored and transported over large distances. It can also be converted on site into electricity, for example using fuel cells.

High Efficiency

At noon, the sun gives us about 1 KW per square meter of surface directly exposed to it. Our technology allows the conversion of this energy into hydrogen with high efficiency. We estimate that the cost of 1 Kg of hydrogen falls below €2.70 for large size installations. One square kilometer of land can therefore potentially provide hundreds of megawatt hours stored in hydrogen. The most interesting sites for arrays of our devices are arid and tropical regions not too for away from industrial centers and existing energy grids.
