Onboard hydrogen production technologies

---

Transitioning to zero-emission vehicles is crucial for meeting climate goals and improving air quality in a world with an increasing population. The current electrical vehicle industry needs to overcome range anxiety, long charging times, and limited charging. Hydrogen fuel cell and hydrogen internal combustion engine (HICE) vehicles offer a promising, reliable, and safer alternative to electric vehicles with similar driving range to gasoline cars and faster refueling times. However, hydrogen supply is limited due to reliance of hydrogen production on natural gas reforming with high carbon emissions, costly compressed gas trucking for transportation, safety risk involved with high-pressure tanks used for storage, and lack of expensive ($100-$600 billion USD) refueling infrastructure. 

The onboard hydrogen production technology offered by Global Warming Solutions, Inc. (GWSO), a publicly traded company, offers a dual electrochemical reactor cell solution with no need for fueling infrastructure, thanks to a proprietary solid oxide electrolyzer cell (SOEC) that generates hydrogen and oxygen by splitting water molecules. This technology overcomes the shortcomings of the conventional water electrolysis systems that have not met the compactness, efficiency, and durability requirements for vehicles and operations in extreme environments. This technology is further supported by proprietary membranes to catalyze the reaction, metals resistant to heat and corrosion, intelligent controls, and machine learning optimization to improve performance and minimal balance-of-plant components for plug-and-play operation. Two identical reactor cells alternately produce hydrogen, enabling continuous output. While one reactor cell generates hydrogen from alkaline water, the other produce oxygen.   

All in all, this technology enables safe, sustainable, and affordable hydrogen production anywhere, without external infrastructure. The main benefits of this technology are its; continuous hydrogen production (4.176 kg/hr), low operational costs (<$2/kg with no external supply chain), modular and scalable nature, durable construction, production of high purity hydrogen, intelligent optimization capability, plug-and-play integration platform, and its emission-free process (combined with fuel cell and hydrogen combustion engines). Furthermore, this system can operate reliably at extreme temperatures from -50°C to over 70°C. Such benefits expand the market for this technology to benefit not only the transportation sector, but also the commercial, residential, industrial, and most importantly military and defense sectors. 

GWSO has recently unveiled their revolutionary EcoHydroGen and TrinityPower Nexus(TPN) micro-hydrogen generator technology, which can operate continuously for over 14 years without maintenance by using de-ionized water and a proprietary chemical formula to produce pure safe and efficient hydrogen. GWSO’s technology empowers localized, on-demand hydrogen and oxygen generation with reduced costs ($0.02 per mile traveled), improved sustainability, and new capabilities across the energy value chain that will catalyze innovation in power, agriculture, manufacturing, and healthcare.
