If your stay in a sunny region and have a space 50-feet by 50-feet on your roof, you can too help reduce your carbon foot-print on this planet – by fitting the Nanoptek hydrogen generator. Yes, this generator can provide hydrogen, enough to meet the demands of your 4-memberd family.
Startup May Hold Key To Cheap, Green Hydrogen Fuel
But, this new solution by the startup, challenges the present hydrogen gas (or liquid) producing methods – as an extremely energy-intensive process, producing 9.3 kilograms of carbon dioxide for every kilogram of hydrogen!
The company claims to have come up with a titania electrode, capable of splitting water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen and which is both low-cost as well as durable. Although Nanoptek has to go a long way, before it can actually reach your rooftop and contribute towards a greener world, the news of the new technology itself is sure to shake the auto companies off, who tout hydrogen as our future’s clean burning fuel.
