How much electricity does the HERO® process need?
None, it is purely a chemical process.
What is HERO® made of?
That’s our secret, but we can say that there is nothing rare or toxic in it and the elements are sourced from responsible supply chains. They can be recycled and reused in our scientific research.
What do you do with the water?
We re-use it. It’s not so much “water” as we know it, it’s pure H2O. It has no bacteria, metals or other dissolved matter. You couldn’t drink it without adding some of these things back in. But it is perfect for the electrolysis process to make more green hydrogen.
How much greenhouse gas does it emit?
Again, none.
What sort of hydrogen do you use?
HERO® does not care where hydrogen comes from, as long as it is 99.9% pure, which is typical industrial grade. Our preference is “green” hydrogen, which comes from a process called electrolysis, where an electric current is used to separate water (H2O), into its hydrogen and oxygen elements. HERO® brings them back together again.
How often does it have to be replaced?
It doesn’t. HERO® is a “true catalyst”. Unlike some other common catalysts, it does not “give” itself to the process, so it doesn’t wear out.
How does HERO® work?
HERO® uses a patented catalyst to create the conditions to combine hydrogen and oxygen into pure water. In doing so, it creates a lot of energy, in the form of heat. We capture both the water and the heat.
