EPRO Advance Technology (EAT), a renewable energy company, has developed a revolutionary porous silicon material, known as Si+, which has the ability to generate ultra-pure hydrogen from a water source. It also acts as a solid-state hydrogen generating material – one that is compact, robust, and easily transportable – solving many of the issues that have inhibited the growth of the hydrogen economy.
When one submerges this Si+ powder into water and mix it, hydrogen gas then starts bubbling out. The powder functions at a wide range of ambient temperatures between 0-80 °C (32-176 °F).
It represents a significant breakthrough of green hydrogen energy, and it will transform hydrogen from the fuel of the future to the fuel of tomorrow. Moreover, Si+ is extremely environmentally friendly, having a very low carbon footprint.
