In Iowa, SunHydrogen announced a major milestone in the advancement of its proprietary photoelectrochemical (PEC) hydrogen production technology. SunHydrogen will partner with The University of Texas at Austin – Center for Electromechanics (UT-CEM) to install, commission, and operate a more than 30 square meters proof-of-concept hydrogen production system at UT-CEM’s Hydrogen ProtoHub research facility. SunHydrogen recently announced the execution of a contract with The Process Group (TPG Engineers) for the front-end engineering design of this pilot plant. The pilot plant will feature sixteen 1.92 square meters photoelectrochemical (PEC) reactor units—each the same basic unit to be showcased at the Hydrogen Technology Expo in Houston. SunHydrogen CEO Tim Young, said: “Deploying a pilot demonstration system at the Hydrogen ProtoHub allows us to validate our technology under real-world conditions and generate the necessary data needed for commercialization. We’re proud to work with Michael Lewis and his team at UT-CEM to accelerate the path to decentralized, renewable hydrogen production.”
