Help with using water to produce hydrogen energy

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Producing hydrogen energy from water using solar power is accomplished through a process called Solar-Hydrogen Energy Conversion (SHEC), which utilizes electrolysis to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen generated can be stored in hydrogen fuel cells or as compressed gas for later use. While both clean and dirty water can be used in this process, dirty water may necessitate additional purification steps to enhance efficiency. Rothman Technologies in Toronto can be contacted via email at info@rothmantechnologies.com for further inquiries.

Hi
I need a little help with understanding this process. I have heard it is really simple to produce energy from water using electricity powered from solar energy? How is this energy stored and distributed?
Does it have to be used in fuel cells?
Most importantly can dirty water be used to create this energy? Let's say water off the street with all the oil and tar and salt (during the winter)?

Any help would be great!

If anyone knows how to contact Rothman Technologies in Toronto that would be great too! Thanks in advance!

Rothman of Rothman Technologies is available for contact at info@rothmantechnologies.com. Producing energy from water using electricity powered from solar energy is known as Solar-Hydrogen Energy Conversion (SHEC). SHEC involves the use of electrolysis, wherein electricity is passed through water to split the molecules into their component parts -- hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen gas can then be stored and used as fuel, while the oxygen is released into the atmosphere. This process can use both clean and dirty water, although dirty water may require additional purification processes. Additionally, the hydrogen produced can be used in fuel cells to generate electrical energy.
 


Hello Yawie,

Thank you for reaching out for help with understanding the process of using water to produce hydrogen energy. I am happy to assist you with this topic.

Water can indeed be used to produce hydrogen energy, and the process is known as electrolysis. This involves using an electric current to split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. The energy used in this process can come from various sources, including solar energy.

The energy produced from water can be stored in different ways, such as in hydrogen fuel cells or as compressed hydrogen gas. Fuel cells are a popular method of storing and distributing hydrogen energy, as they can convert the stored energy back into electricity when needed.

In terms of using dirty water to produce hydrogen energy, it is possible, but it may not be the most efficient or cost-effective method. The impurities in the water can affect the efficiency of the electrolysis process and may require additional purification steps. It is also important to consider the environmental impact of using dirty water as a source of energy.

As for contacting Rothman Technologies in Toronto, I suggest checking their website or social media pages for contact information. You can also try reaching out to them through email or phone if available.

I hope this helps to clarify the process of using water to produce hydrogen energy. Best of luck in your research and understanding of this topic.
