NewHydrogen reveals secrets of its green hydrogen technology
US tech pioneer NewHydrogen, the developer of ThermoLoop™, a breakthrough technology that uses water and heat rather than electricity to produce what is claimed to be the world's cheapest clean hydrogen, has unveiled the first public demonstration in a special online report.
The special report highlights a significant milestone and advancement from previous iterations of ThermoLoop™ technology.
Steve Hill, CEO at NewHydrogen, explained: "Previous versions of the lab unit could only produce oxygen or hydrogen, but both were not achieved simultaneously. Now, for the first time, we've completed the loop.
“This version enables continuous hydrogen production, allowing our team to refine the chemistry and materials behind ThermoLoop™ while collecting critical data to guide the next scale-up."

The report provides an unprecedented look inside NewHyrogen’s laboratory, featuring detailed explanations from the company's scientific team. The video demonstrates the unique ThermoLoop™' approach to thermochemical water-splitting, which the company believes could eventually make traditional electrolysers obsolete.
The lab demonstration represents the first step in scaling the company’s breakthrough technology from laboratory to commercial applications, similar to how steam reforming of natural gas evolved from lab units to massive commercial plants that now produce over 60 million tons of hydrogen per year in the current $170 billion fossil-fuel-based hydrogen market.
Mr Hill added: "We are proud to have the right team, at the right time, working on a technology that could help unlock the full potential of the clean hydrogen economy. I believe that our technology represents a totally different path from conventional electrolysers and could have a global impact in the not too distant future."
The ThermoLoop™' heat-based approach addresses the fundamental cost challenge in clean hydrogen production, where electricity currently accounts for up to 73 per cent of production costs. By using heat directly from sources such as concentrated solar, geothermal, nuclear reactors, and industrial waste heat, ThermoLoop™ bypasses the expensive process of electricity generation.
