Researchers from Israel’s Technion and partner universities have introduced a new method for industrial-scale green hydrogen production compatible with solar and wind power. The innovation marks a significant step toward a sustainable energy future.
Unlike traditional electrolysis, which requires stable electricity, the new system generates hydrogen and oxygen alternately and without expensive membranes. Instead, it uses specialized materials that store and release energy like batteries, making the process resilient to power fluctuations.
The concept was developed by Professor Avner Rothschild of the Technion. Although the prototype currently produces small quantities of hydrogen, the technology has strong commercial potential. The global hydrogen market, now valued at $250 billion, could double within the next decade.
