Abstract Cvictus’s patented and proprietary Enhanced Hydrogen Recovery (EHR™) technology can produce clean hydrogen with lower carbon intensity than green hydrogen from hydropower and at a cost that’s less than half the cost of hydrogen from SMRs. EHR™ extracts hydrogen-rich synthesis gas (syngas) from ultra-deep coal and brine and re-injects associated CO2 back into the …
Abstract Climate change is not a problem of the future, but rather is an urgent problem right now. The earth will continue to warm due to increased emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) caused by human activities and the effects will continue to be widespread and profound (Climate NASA) if meaningful actions are not taken. One of the solutions to …
