HyperSolar in research agreement

0

HyperSolar, a developer of hybrid hydrogen fuel production technology, has announced that it will be expanding its research agreement with the University of California, Santa Barbara.

The decision to expand this agreement follows a significant breakthrough that HyperSolar has made with its new technology. Together, the two organisations aim to bolster the existing hydrogen fuel infrastructure, accommodating a growing demand for new fuel. The demand for hydrogen has been on the rise since several automakers announced plans to launch fuel cell vehicles in the near future.

HyperSolar has found a way to make its hydrogen production systems more efficient. These systems utilise solar energy as a way to generate the power needed to produce hydrogen fuel. HyperSolar’s technology mimicks photosynthesis, and this process requires at least 1.23 volts of electrical power in order to work effectively. The company has reported that it has reached the 1.25 volt threshold with its new technology and believes that it can reach 1.5 volts with a commercial hydrogen production system.

The university and HyperSolar have been working together for three years on research and development of hydrogen fuel cells and hydrogen production technology. This partnership has lead to many breakthroughs in the past, and HyperSolar is keen to continue working with the university in order to continue improving its technology and the applications of this technology.
