Dr. Tim Lewen highlighted the need for efficient energy storage solutions and the use of existing natural gas infrastructure to produce and store hydrogen.
SANTA CLARITA, Calif., March 26, 2024 (Globe Newswire) — NewHydrogen, Inc., the developer of a breakthrough technology that uses clean energy and water to produce the world's cheapest green hydrogen. OTCMKTS:NEWH) today, on a recent podcast, our CEO Steve Hill spoke with Dr. Tim Lieuwen, Executive Director of the Strategic Energy Institute at Georgia Tech.
During the conversation, Dr. Leuwen shared extensive insight into gas turbine combustion systems, describing their versatility and ability to use different types of fuels, including renewable fuels such as hydrogen. The discussion also covered the power generation process using gas turbines, which Dr. Lieuwen explained in detail.
Dr. Lewen and Mr. Hill also discussed the challenges and opportunities of the hydrogen economy, with a focus on the use of green hydrogen produced from renewable sources. Dr Lieuwen said: “Efficient energy storage solutions are needed, such as converting energy to hydrogen and storing it underground. In addition to developing gas turbines that become more efficient over time, hydrogen transport and storage These challenges are being addressed through innovations such as cryogenic storage and high-pressure compression.”
They also discussed the possibility of using existing natural gas infrastructure to produce and store hydrogen. They recognized the need to balance supply and demand in the hydrogen economy and the importance of data analysis in optimizing these systems. In conclusion, Dr. Lieuwen expressed optimism about the future of the hydrogen economy, despite the challenges.
Dr. Lewen received his Ph.D. He received his PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Georgia Tech. He is also the Regents Professor, David S. Lewis Jr. Professor, and Executive Director of the Strategic Energy Institute at Georgia Tech. Dr. Lieuwen is also the founder and CTO of TurbineLogic, an analytics company working in the energy industry. Current and past board positions include management/advisory committees for Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Electric Power Research Institute, appointment by DOE Secretary to the National Petroleum Council; His membership includes ASME International Gas Board.

About NewHydrogen Co., Ltd.
NewHydrogen is developing ThermoLoop™ – A breakthrough technology that uses water and heat rather than electricity to produce the world’s lowest cost green hydrogen. Hydrogen is the cleanest and most abundant element in the universe, and we cannot live without it. Hydrogen is a key ingredient for making the fertilizers needed to grow the world's food. It is also used in transportation, oil refining, steel, glass, pharmaceutical manufacturing, etc. Almost all hydrogen today is made from hydrocarbons such as coal, oil, and natural gas, which are polluted and have limited resources. Water, on the other hand, is an infinite and renewable global resource.
Currently, the most common way to produce green hydrogen is to use green electricity generated from sunlight or wind to split water into oxygen and hydrogen in an electrolyser. However, green electricity is and will continue to be very expensive. It currently accounts for 73% of the cost of green hydrogen. By using heat directly, the expensive power generation process can be omitted and the cost of green hydrogen can be fundamentally lowered. Cheap heat can be obtained from concentrated solar, geothermal, nuclear or industrial waste heat and can be used in our new low-cost thermochemical water splitting process. Our goal, in collaboration with the world-class research team at the University of California, Santa Barbara, is to help usher in a green hydrogen economy that Goldman Sachs estimates has a future market value of $12 trillion.
