SunHydrogen to unveil 1.92 m² renewable hydrogen reactor prototype

This reactor incorporates a single large 1.92 m² hydrogen-generating module, approximately the size of a standard solar PV module – making a critical milestone in the path toward real-world deployment. In January, the company released a video demonstrating hydrogen production using a 1 m² panel composed of nine individual 1200 cm² modules.

This prototype marks the largest-scale showcase to date of the proprietary technology that uses sunlight and integrated catalysts to split water into hydrogen – eliminating the need for traditional electrolysers or grid-supplied electricity. The announcement marks a milestone in the company’s mission to make low-cost, decentralised renewable hydrogen a commercial reality by showcasing the largest prototype built to date – laying the foundation for future pilot-scale deployments.

In addition to showcasing the full-sized 1.92?m² prototype, there will be a live hydrogen production demonstration using a 100?cm² (0.11 ft²) working prototype powered by a simulated sunlight source at less than full solar intensity for safe indoor demonstration. This safe and controlled display will allow attendees to observe in real time how hydrogen is produced using only light and water – demonstrating how the process eliminates the need for energy-intensive electrolysers, and hydrogen produced from steam reforming of natural gas.

“Unveiling our 1.92 m² prototype is a proud moment for our team and a major step forward in redefining what’s possible with renewable hydrogen,” said Tim Young, CEO of SunHydrogen. “We are especially excited to safely demonstrate our technology live at the expo—showing that sustainable hydrogen production can be decentralised, renewable, and scalable.”
