This prototype system from GE has the potential to make hydrogen at a cost on par with gasoline



Now you can produce hydrogen at a cost equal to gasoline. GE’s Global Research lab researchers in Niskayuna, NY, have developed a system for the production of the alternative fuel to oil. What interests the most is that this system can generate hydrogen at a fraction of the cost of its present production. And it would be ’spell-bound’ a scenario, if could be available commercially in just a few years!



True, there is nothing new in the basic process - electrolysis. But, GE’s breakthrough comes from a proprietary material - Noryl. It a highly chemical and temperature-resistant plastic, which lowers the hydrogen production’s cost to hundreds of dollars per kilowatt! Informed by Bourgeois, this amazing material is developed by the GE labs.
