SANTA BARBARA, Calif. -- (Business Wire)
HyperSolar, Inc. (OTCBB:HYSR), the developer of a breakthrough
technology to make renewable natural gas using solar power, today
disclosed more information from its patent application for a process to
produce renewable natural gas using sunlight, water and carbon dioxide.
Inspired by the photosynthetic processes that plants use to effortlessly
harness the power of the Sun to create energy molecules, HyperSolar is
developing a novel solar-powered nanoparticle system that mimics
photosynthesis to separate hydrogen from water. The free hydrogen can
then be reacted with carbon dioxide to produce methane, the primary
component in natural gas.
The company’s patent application is entitled, “Photoelectrochemically
active heterostructures, methods for their manufacture, and methods and
systems for producing desired products.” It discloses the company’s
novel low cost manufacturing techniques, nanostructure innovations for
high efficiency, and the use of freely available sunlight, waste water
and carbon dioxide to produce hydrogen, methane, and other valuable
chemical products.
Tim Young, HyperSolar’s CEO, commented, “For almost a century,
scientists have tried and failed to ‘split water’ cost effectively to
produce hydrogen and oxygen. Our process does not produce oxygen (O2),
which has no significant value and is an expensive and slow reaction.
Unlike conventional electrolysis, where hydrogen and oxygen atoms are
completely disassociated using a large voltage, we designed our
reactions to use a very small voltage and only produce hydrogen (H2).
“By elegantly engineering the reaction kinetics toward hydrogen
generation in conjunction with wastewater, our nanoparticles function as
one-way machines that detoxify wastewater, and produce clean water and
pure hydrogen in the presence of sunlight,” continued Mr. Young. “No
other energy source is required, making this an extremely economical and
commercially viable approach to hydrogen production -- hence, renewable
natural gas production.“
Unlike other approaches to hydrogen and methane production that may
require high temperature and high-pressure systems, HyperSolar’s
reactions are designed to occur at normal pressure and temperature. This
allows for the use of very low cost and very simple reactors, such as a
glass vessel or even clear plastic bag. To achieve world scale
operation, HyperSolar envisions acres of very inexpensive reactors
installed on vacant, non-productive land, producing massive amounts of
carbon neutral methane that can be piped into the existing natural gas
infrastructure for everyday use in homes, power plants, factories, and
vehicles.
About HyperSolar, Inc.
HyperSolar is developing a breakthrough technology to make renewable
natural gas using sunlight, water and carbon dioxide. This renewable
natural gas is a clean, carbon neutral methane gas that can be used as a
direct replacement for traditional natural gas to power the world,
without drilling or fracking, while mitigating CO2 emissions. Inspired
by the photosynthetic processes that plants use to effortlessly harness
the power of the Sun to create energy molecules, we are developing a
novel solar-powered nanoparticle system that mimics photosynthesis to
separate hydrogen from water. The free hydrogen can then be reacted with
carbon dioxide to produce methane. From sunrise to sunset, our
proprietary nanoparticles will work in a water based solution to produce
clean and environmentally friendly renewable natural gas that can be
collected for use in power plants, industrial plants and vehicles –
anywhere and anytime. To learn more about HyperSolar, please visit our
