b'This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. The race for alternative fuels is heating up, and lately, a lot of focus has been given to green hydrogen. Whitaker Irvin, Jr. of Utah-based Q Hydrogen Commercialization is here to discuss his company\\u2019s even greener solution: Clear hydrogen.\\n\\nWHITAKER IRVIN, JR.\\n\\nHydrogen is a clean-burning fuel source \\u2013 it emits only water or water vapor \\u2013 but it is only truly \\u201cgreen\\u201d if it is produced using carbon-free methods, like solar or wind power, which are currently very expensive. As a result, green hydrogen makes up less than 1% of hydrogen energy production. \\n\\nIn our Utah testing facility, we\\u2019ve been developing a new technology that produces hydrogen from water at a significantly reduced cost compared to green hydrogen, and without the carbon impact of conventional methods that utilize natural gas and other fossil fuel sources. We\\u2019re calling it \\u201cclear hydrogen.\\u201d\\n\\nOur process, based on completely new science in the field, separates the hydrogen and oxygen molecules by subjecting water to extremely rapid variations in pressure, temperature and motion. No heat is generated, and no carbon is used or emitted during the process, and it takes up much less physical space compared to a solar or wind farm. This all leads to massively decreasing the cost to produce hydrogen. \\n\\nDEREK MILLER\\n\\nQ Hydrogen Commercialization is revolutionizing the energy world with breakthrough hydrogen science.
