Energy policy and research

A device used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen through electrolysis. Bloom Energy produces solid-oxide electrolyzers.

A technology that uses solar panels situated around a large central structure, acting as a magnifying glass to direct sunlight to these panels, thereby generating more electricity.

A process that uses concentrated solar heat to directly split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen through a two-step thermochemical reaction cycle, eliminating the need for electricity generation as an intermediate step.

Massachusetts

A conceptual solar energy reactor system designed to produce green hydrogen by capturing solar heat to directly split water molecules through a two-step thermochemical reaction cycle involving metal oxidation and reduction.
