GH Power slashes hydrogen cost with circular reactor
Canadian company nears commercial operation of technology to produce green hydrogen at $2/kg, chief operating officer Gary Grahn tells Hydrogen Economist
After seven years in development, Ontario-based GH Power is nearing commercial operation of a proprietary net-zero, circular reactor technology to produce low-cost green hydrogen—as well as low-cost alumina (aluminum oxide) and thermal energy given its exothermic design—using only recycled/scrap aluminum and water as inputs. “We have now nearly completed the testing and are looking to add a few more pieces of equipment we ordered to allow us to run 24/7 and successfully achieve commercial operation in Q1 of next year,” Gary Grahn, COO of GH Power, told Hydrogen Economist. Although the hydrogen produced by the company’s 2MW reactor will be for sale on the market, generating revenue along with
