Is Hydrogen Soon To Become Really Practical?

HyTech Power will be introducing products that will be "a way to use hydrogen to immediately reduce pollution while scaling up and driving down costs enough to enable more fundamental changes to the energy system." Specifically...
  • An electrolyzer that "can produce hydrogen at about three or four times the rate of electrolyzers with similar footprints, using about a third the electrical current."
  • Internal Combustion Assistance which is a modification to internal combustion engines that adds tiny amounts of gaseous hydrogen and oxygen to the engine's cylinders allowing them to burn more completely and put out more power.
  • Pure hydrogen retrofits for internal combustion engines.
  • Scaleable Energy Storage using hydrogen; a product that would compete against Tesla's Powerwall. This would allow excess power from wind or solar to be used to electrolyze pure hydrogen for storage, to be used later to generate electricity.

Although others have attempted to do all these things too, with varying success, Evan Johnson, CTO, believes his company has made the necessary practical improvements to allow these technologies to pay off.
