🆕 New panels produce hydrogen fuel using only water, sunlight and no electricity

A spin-off from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Photreon, gained significant attraction at the Hannover Messe event, where it highlighted its hydrogen production technology and presented a new photoreactor panel. The project showcased a one-square-meter prototype designed to generate hydrogen using only water and sunlight.

“We avoid the detour through electrically powered electrolysis, producing chemical energy from sunlight and water,” — said photreon co-founder Paul Kant.

This system operates independently of the electrical grid and does not require the electrolyzers typically used in green hydrogen production. By presenting this technology, the team demonstrated a method that could potentially lower the barriers to entry for decentralized hydrogen infrastructure.
