Often mentioned with · Technologies

A method of electricity generation that produces no carbon emissions and uses fuel derived from seawater, offering potential as an essentially inexhaustible power source.

Hydride-Based Deep Eutectic Solvent (DES)

A new liquid, hydrogen-rich storage medium created by blending ammonia borane (a hydrogen-dense solid) and tetrabutylammonium borohydride, resulting in a stable non-crystallizing liquid that can hold up to 6.9% hydrogen by weight at room temperature.

Water electrolysis

A process used by Hydrogenics to produce hydrogen, which can be stored and later converted back to energy through fuel cells.
