Sustaining Modern Life with Renewable Natural Gas

Natural gas is an important fuel and touches virtually every aspect of our daily lives. It is the primary feedstock for electricity generation, hydrogen production, cooking, heating, industrial processes, and fertilizer production. According to the International Energy Agency, worldwide natural gas consumption will grow to 25% of all energy consumption in 2035, second only to petroleum.(1)

HyperSolar is developing a breakthrough nanoparticle technology that uses sunlight and wastewater to produce renewable hydrogen. This hydrogen can be used directly, or reacted with carbon dioxide in a proprietary low cost reactor to produce methane as a carbon-neutral renewable natural gas. These renewable gases can be used as direct replacements for traditional hydrogen and natural gas to power the world, without drilling or fracking, while mitigation CO2 emissions. In the process, we also clean up wastewater and produce valuable industrial chemical byproducts.

The HyperSolar technology can be configured in 3 ways depending on the application:

  • Produce pure hydrogen using: sunlight + waste water
  • Produce pure methane using: sunlight + waste water + CO2
  • Produce both hydrogen and methane in any ratio

By producing hydrogen directly from water, our technology bypasses the conventional process of hydrogen production from natural gas, resulting in a truly renewable, clean, and carbon-free hydrogen fuel.

Energy is the source of all life, and modern energy is the sustaining force of a better life. The ability to "manufacture" renewable energy, such as hydrogen and natural gas, allows people around the world to achieve better lives without doing so at the expense of others or the environment. With the waste of the Earth and the power of the Sun, HyperSolar's technology will enable the production of clean and environment friendly renewable hydrogen and natural gas for use in power plants, industrial plants, vehicles - anywhere and anytime.
