Introducing the ACT Hydrogen Production Unit (HPU)
ACT’s Hydrogen Production Unit (HPU) utilizes a novel and internationally patented technology that applies a phase-shifted plasma electrolysis method to produce hydrogen and oxygen at atmospheric pressure from a potassium hydroxide solution of deionized water.
Through resonant frequency enhancements applied to our dual-pulsing plasma process, our HPUs will cut the cost of green hydrogen by over 80%. Current commercial electrolysis requires 50-60 kW of electricity to produce 1 kg of H₂. We have demonstrated the potential to use 3-7 kW/kg green H₂. While precise real-world production results are pending, we anticipate upending the economics of hydrogen by cutting the cost of green hydrogen to well below $1/kg.
Improvements are underway to upgrade our plated cathode and anode materials and tank structuring.
We will share updates on our newest HPU soon.
