EBH produces Hydrogen that is cost-effective (70% less than only water, electricity and heat. Hydrogen and fuel cells can play
the current cost). The production cost of Hydrogen using E.B.H. an important role in our national energy strategy, with a broad
technology is between $0.15/kg to $0.58/kg of H2. Hydrogen is range of applications across virtually all sectors – transportation,
commercial, industrial, residential and portable. There are certain
types of microalgae in nature that produce Hydrogen, but they
are limited by biochemical and physical barriers. Bio Hydrogen
is a two-process system that reduces these barriers by more than
50% leading to the acceleration in the production rate. First, Bio
Hydrogen uses a chemical process to do an initial break down of
the barriers. This is followed by a bio-reactor process to further
break down the physical barrier of light utilization efficiency
and the number of algae cells that are activated. Our geometric
design of the patented bio-reactor is much more efficient at
breaking down the barriers that prevent microalgae production
– 1,000 times more efficient than other bio-reactors. Both these
improvements in speed, allow Bio Hydrogen to produce Hydrogen
at 30% of the current costs.
