Industry Trend

The change is energy paradigm is calling for carbon neutral technology.
Demand in sustainable hydrogen energy – Transition into sustainable ecosystem.
- By-product hydrogen – By-production due to chemical reactions in petrochemical processes etc
- Grey hydrogen – Modified hydrogen(generated by fossil fuel catalytic reaction)
- Separated hydrogen – Modified hydrogen + CO2 captured
- Green hydrogen – Generates hydrogen and oxygen with electricity and water (Sustainable)
Conversion to green hydrogen is demanded.

Current Issues

The world aims to produce hydrogen below the cost of 3000 Won/kg by 2050.
Developing basic materials and technologies that can electrolyze pure water efficiently and cheaply is essential.
Currently, the world is stuck with the efficiency and material ceiling, producing transitional hydrogen, which is not sustainable.
Current green hydrogen – High cost and low efficiency in production. New methods needed.

Conventional Manufacturing

New Era Water Electrolysis

Polymer Cell : Water electrolysis – Pure water + New-type electrode materials for electorlysis

Conclusion

Able to achieve the 3000 Won/kg goal with new material development.
Reach the goal technology and efficiency of the global world at once, without multiple steps.
