Torvex Energy collaborated closely with the Material Processing Institute to validate an innovative and “game-changing” method of producing environmentally friendly hydrogen from seawater that does not emit oxygen gas.
The independent research and development company in Stockton-on-Tees has patents pending on its unique electrochemical process and has worked with the Institute to establish proof of concept. Torvex Energy, which is backed by an angel investor, has spent several years refining the process to ensure it generates green hydrogen of the highest purity and output. It is now looking for partners and meeting with interested parties in order to move from the pilot project to commercial production.
Traditional electrolysis methods produce toxic byproducts, necessitate a costly desalination process, and result in rapid equipment corrosion – all of which have proven to be significant barriers to increasing global hydrogen production.
Torvex Energy, which has more than 30 years of experience in marine and chemical engineering, recognized the enormous potential for green hydrogen production to revolutionize the efficiency and sustainability. It has worked with the Teesside-based Materials Processing Institute to successfully demonstrate and validate the process’s feasibility.
