Korean Researchers Develop Hydrogen Production Method 30 Times Cheaper Than Previously Used

Director of S&P Energy Research Institute (SPERI), Doctor of Science Sen Kim said on the 20th October that the company’s slogan, "Clean Energy for Clean Era" is early reachable.

Dr. Sen Kim (Academician of the European Academy of Natural Science), who has been developing methods of cleaning the greenhouse gases in SPERI since February 2008.

He said “Our laboratory tests show that CO2, CH4, or N2O was dissociated by low energy. We also confirmed that hydrogen (H2) and vapor(H2O) was dissociated with similar efficiency (90% or more). Traditionally hydrogen is made by electrolysis. The electrolytic method uses 4-4.5 kwh energy for getting 1 cubic meter of hydrogen. Our method uses 0.1 kwh for the same volume of hydrogen. As known the high cost of electrolytic H2 does not allow to use it as a fuel.

Manufacturing the H2 by our method will lower the cost of H2 as much as 20-30 times. A hydrogen energy is clean (It’s water when it is burned). Plenty of water is available on the earth. A hydrogen energy can be called “permanent clean energy”
