IF WE TRANSPORT HYDROGEN AT SOLID STATE, CAN IT BECOME THE ENERGY OF THE FUTURE?

​​​​​​​

Conventional H2 Logistics (Gas/Liquid) essentially “Fights the Physics” of Hydrogen, paying a massive price in high operating/safety costs and requiring massive infrastructure deployment in every segment of the supply chain.  As the world looks on to Hydrogen to play a key role in decarbonizing the planet, the supply chain WILL be massively stretched into many areas that do not have user volume or concentration to support such infrastructures.  We also have a fast-depleting carbon budget, limited time and limited resources – we clearly NEED an infrastructure-LIGHT clean energy ecosystem which can complement all the other climate solutions (mostly, if not all which are infrastructure intensive solutions).

Galaxy FCT has patented technology (worldwide pending) which facilitates RAPID and EFFICIENT release of Hydrogen gas from Solid H2 (NaBH4) which makes it practicable to anchor a Solid H2 Logistic Ecosystem.  This involves “packaging” H2 at point of production into a Solid Form Chemical (NaBH4) an bypassing the need to “fight the physics” (of H2) through carrying out all storage/logistic operations with H2 “embedded” within the solid form which is (a) energy dense; (b) non-flammable; and (c) stored/handled at ambient temperature without pressure.  H2 gas is released “on demand” at user location via an exothermic chemical reaction which does not require external energy input.

This provides efficient logistics which operates within an infrastructure-LIGHT ecosystem which can scale globally relatively quickly once the cost of “packaging” the H2 (which is currently high) is brought down through a combination of massive scale integrated RE farms dedicated to NaBH4 production (removing dependence on transmission) and more advanced/efficient production methods as well as recycling/ regeneration of “spent” NaBH4.  This decoupling allows us to harness the richest (highest yielding) locations on planet earth immediately in large scale which are typically uninhabited (deserts and wind-swept wastelands). 

This facilitates the large-scale production of green molecules which is necessary to complement massive generation of green electrons delivered over the clean energy grid of the future.  Solid H2 Logistics will accelerate this process and be instrumental in immediately unleashing the full potential of renewables, especially Solar and Wind (perhaps Hydro and Geothermal as well).   

Our vision is to accelerate the emergence and growth of Solid H2 Logistics so that mankind can have another potent tool in responding to the challenge of Climate Change.
