Revolutionizing Hydrogen Production

DiagnaMed's cutting-edge hydrogen production technology represents a breakthrough in clean energy. Developed by Dr. Qingwang Yuan of the HOPE Group at Texas Tech University, the patented method (WO2023044149A1) combines hydraulic fracturing with electromagnetic wave heating to extract hydrogen from light oil, gas, and shale reservoirs, as well as ultramafic rock formations.

This technology offers unparalleled efficiency and sustainability, with potential hydrogen production costs as low as $0.86 per kilogram. The method aligns with the U.S. Department of Energy's "Hydrogen Energy Earthshot" initiative to achieve $1/kg hydrogen production by 2031.
