- SunHydrogen (OTCQB: HYSR) collaborates with the University of Texas at Austin to deploy a large-scale hydrogen production system.
- The pilot system will feature sixteen photoelectrochemical reactors, covering an active area of over 30 m².
- This project aims to validate technology performance in real-world conditions over a six-month period.
SunHydrogen, Inc. (OTCQB: HYSR) has announced a major development in their renewable hydrogen production technology through a strategic collaboration with The University of Texas at Austin’s Center for Electromechanics (UT-CEM). This partnership will see the deployment of SunHydrogen's first large-scale, multi-panel solar-to-hydrogen system at UT Austin's Hydrogen ProtoHub.
The pilot system will include sixteen 1.92 m² photoelectrochemical (PEC) reactor units, resulting in more than 30 m² of active area. This modular and scalable configuration is designed to operate solely on sunlight and water, and it represents a significant stride towards the commercialization of SunHydrogen's technology. The six-month demonstration project is intended to validate the system's technology performance under practical conditions and to gather essential data for future commercial developments.
According to SunHydrogen CEO Tim Young, the collaboration is a pivotal step towards actualizing the company's vision of decentralized, renewable hydrogen production. The pilot system, located at UT Austin's J. J. Pickle Research Campus, will utilize the advanced infrastructure and technical expertise available at the Hydrogen ProtoHub.
Michael Lewis, Director of the Center for Electromechanics at UT Austin, expressed his excitement about hosting SunHydrogen’s system, noting the project’s contribution to advancing sustainable hydrogen technologies. The demonstration will provide crucial insights and performance data that will support both technology development and broader hydrogen deployment strategies.
Dr. Syed Mubeen, SunHydrogen's Chief Technology Officer, emphasized the importance of this project in moving from lab validations to system-level testing in real-world conditions. He highlighted the collaboration's role in ensuring precision, safety, and engineering rigor during the technology's scale-up process.
