With the 2025 international carbon tax imminent, the research team led by Chun-Hu Chen, a Distinguished Professor of the Department of Chemistry at National Sun Yat-sen University (NSYSU), has mastered key technologies and launched the world's first prototype of "alkaline seawater electrolyzer for hydrogen production." This unique green hydrogen technology is unprecedented and expected for large-scale mass production, making Kaohsiung's Sizihwan Bay the origin of electrolysis seawater hydrogen production cutting-edge technology.
The research team pointed out that to pursue net-zero emissions in 2050, developing clean and renewable alternative energy sources is urgent. Among them, using green electricity, such as solar energy and wind power, by electrolysis water to produce hydrogen (also known as green hydrogen) is a powerful tool for reducing carbon emissions and storing energy. Current industrial activities urgently require hydrogen as a raw material, such as a raw material for making ammonia, hydrogen peroxide and methanol, rocket fuel, and a reducing agent when refining metals. Compared with other renewable energy sources of electricity, hydrogen can preserve green energy more effectively. Therefore, hydrogen production by water electrolysis is regarded as the most promising new opportunity for large-scale mass production of hydrogen with green energy.
