A possible new way to make green hydrogen!

Happy Wednesday! 

Did anyone read The Houston Chronicle Business Section on Monday, May 29, 2023, their article titled, “Startup could have big role in hydrogen – Houston company to test its technology for making the gas cleanly”?  In the article, it speaks about a company who built on a breakthrough developed at Rice University which uses light to power chemical reactions.  Rice University developed ‘antenna-reactor catalysts’ in 2016.  Syzygy Plasmonics uses this catalyst in their reactors.   Their electric powered ammonia reactor is about be tested in South Korea and later this year in the U.S.   If it works, it will make no emissions and be able to “crack” ammonia into hydrogen cost effectively.  This would be good news in the fight against climate change by making green hydrogen and for ammonia producers!   If you would like to read more of the article from The Houston Chronicle, please click the link: Houston clean hydrogen startup backed by oil money readies its tech (houstonchronicle.com).
