Low-cost hydrogen production
Hydrogen Seawater Electrolysis Technology (HySET)
Our patent-pending HySET system enables hydrogen production at coastal and industrial sites, simplifying deployment and creating value from saline resources.
By combining built-in energy storage with on-site electricity generation, we enable independent, on-demand production of clean hydrogen.
Lower production cost
Designed to reduce the infrastructure required for hydrogen production and access direct, low-cost renewable energy.
Seawater-based operation
Removes freshwater requirements by using seawater without additives or desalination.
On-site deployment
Supports hydrogen production close to demand using local renewable power and minimal reliance on infrastructure.
Our Technology
HySET turns seawater and renewable electricity into hydrogen through Hychor’s proprietary two-stage electrochemical system.
Our Impact
Conventional electrolysis depends on substantial clean water usage, significant transportation infrastructure, and immediate grid connections. HySET reduces these barriers, improving access to clean fuels for decarbonising industries.
Time to production
HySET reduces the need for additional water treatment and grid-dependent hydrogen infrastructure.
Access to water
HySET is designed with seawater as the input, avoiding reliance on unsustainable freshwater resources.
Powering low-grid communities
HySET uses direct renewable power, maximising the potential of natural resources such as excess wind energy.
The opportunities:
