This new silicon-based powder could make transporting hydrogen fuel safe and viable

Just this week, we reported on a chemical that would allow hydrogen to be stored and transported safely. The breakthrough was touted as a key discovery to making the fuel viable. After all, hydrogen as a fuel is very attractive due to its environmental benefits, but its storage and transport have long been notoriously complicated endeavors.Generating ultra-pure hydrogen on demandNow, a renewable energy company EPRO Advance Technology (EAT) has announced another crucial breakthrough process in green hydrogen energy that generates large amounts of ultra-pure hydrogen on demand and that is safe to store and transport.”EAT has developed a revolutionary porous silicon material, known as Si+, which has the ability to generate ultra-pure hydrogen from a water source and which acts as a solid-state hydrogen generating material – one that is compact, robust, and easily transportable –…
