The University in Varanasi on Wednesday unveiled a new high-quantum-backed green hydrogen production technology with an aim to boost green hydrogen production in bulk.
The new innovative technology powered by green hydrogen was developed by Dr Somenath Garai and Professor Srikrishna of the Green Keplerate Team at Banaras Hindu University, revolutionising energy generation to find the most eco-friendly energy alternative.
The team exhibited the wide range of eco-friendly usage for green hydrogen and introduced a cutting-edge quantum-powered system that provides enhanced charge transfer capabilities, high proton availability, and mobility.
With the use of an electron injector mechanism that uses industrial metal waste, the team ingeniously engineered a continuous electron-coupled proton supply system.
After rigorous optimisation, the team achieved an impressive production rate of approximately 1 litre per minute of green hydrogen for every 10 grams of quantum photocatalysts at the laboratory scale.
Because of the high purity of the hydrogen gas produced, the fuel can be used without further purification, making the technology even more cost effective.
