When you burn fossil fuels or organic matter, the heat is radiated. The closer you get to the flame the hotter it is (think of holding out your hands to a campfire). This creates inefficiencies and, on top of that, it creates greenhouse gases.
While technically very hot, a hydrogen flame is terrible at heating anything. It doesn’t radiate that heat well. HERO® is more effective at heating because it primarily conducts the heat rather than radiating it. It’s the difference between holding your cold hands up in front of a heater compared to actually grabbing the heater. If you want to get REALLY hot, grab it. That’s what HERO® does.
This is the beauty of HERO®. It can liberate the heat directly from hydrogen, without the inefficiencies or safety issues of a flame, and directly conduct that heat into the working fluid or gas via our unique heat-exchanger.
For the same amount of heat, we use hydrogen more efficiently, and for a relatively rare resource like green hydrogen, that’s a good thing.
