H2Si Power: White Hydrogen Production

The global energy landscape is facing unprecedented challenges: rising costs, grid instability, environmental concerns, and an urgent need for sustainable alternatives. H2Si Power, a specialized division of Amerada R&D, addresses these critical issues.

We have developed and proven the world's first and only commercial process for producing white hydrogen from silicon from sand and water. This groundbreaking achievement represents years of research and development, validated by leading academic institutions and proven in real-world applications to help solve the energy issues the global community faces.

The Energy Problems We Look to Solve

Escalating Energy Costs

Traditional energy sources continue to increase in price, creating financial strain for businesses, farms, and communities. H2Si Power's process produces white hydrogen at just $1.25 per kilogram—a significant cost reduction that makes clean energy more viable.

Grid Dependency and Infrastructure Vulnerability

There are extreme sides of the spectrum when it comes to power grids; either a strong dependency or a complete lack of access exists. Our white hydrogen production enables energy independence through on-site power production, ensuring uninterrupted operations regardless of grid conditions.

Environmental Impact of Energy Production

Traditional energy sources significantly contribute to environmental degradation through carbon emissions and the production of toxic byproducts. Even conventional hydrogen production relies on natural gas and electricity from fossil fuels, adding to the environmental harm. H2Si Power offers an environmentally friendly solution that utilizes only water and silica.

An alternative solution to the use of fossil fuels

Revolutionary Hydrogen Production Method

Carbothermic Reactor Technology

Our white hydrogen production process starts with transforming sand into silicon nanoparticles utilizing an advanced carbothermic reactor and ball mill system.

Oxygen elimination from sand to produce pure silicon
Inert atmosphere processing prevents oxygen from being reintroduced
Nanoparticle production through specialized ball mill grinding
Water-soluble pellet formation for safe transportation

Silicon and Water: Power Production’s Perfect Combination

While traditional hydrogen production relies on natural gas and electricity, H2Si Power harnesses the natural reaction between silicon and water.

This silicon-water reaction produces two moles of hydrogen per mole of silicon for efficient conversion.

Complete Energy Independence
