Dr. Marlowe brings his expertise in multiple materials characterization techniques and reaction engineering
SANTA CLARITA, Calif., July 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NewHydrogen, Inc. (OTCMKTS), the developer of ThermoLoop™, a breakthrough technology that uses water and heat rather than electricity to produce the world’s cheapest green hydrogen, today announced that Dr. Justin Marlowe recently joined the UCSB Technology Team for the development of a cost-effective thermochemical water splitting technology.

Dr. Marlowe will join Dr. Phil Christopher and Dr. Eric McFarland at the University of California, Santa Barbara to realize cost-effective, entropy-driven thermochemical water splitting. He has published several high impact works in the field of heterogeneous catalysis, broadly, and has participated in collaborative work on energy transitions funded by the U.S. Department of Energy. Dr. Marlowe’s expertise in multiple materials characterization techniques and reaction engineering will enable the identification of materials and conditions necessary to optimize thermochemical water splitting to hydrogen. Before joining the team, Dr. Marlowe conducted his doctoral research at UCSB with Dr. Phil Christopher and Dr. Mahdi Abu-Omar on catalytic materials targeting the replacement of petroleum with renewable biomass for the production of chemicals and fuels. He holds a B.S. in Chemical Engineering, Summa Cum Laude, from Rutgers University and a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from UCSB.
“We are excited to welcome Dr. Marlowe to our team and expect him to have an immediate impact in strengthening technology development activities,” said Mr. Steve Hill, CEO of NewHydrogen. “His expertise in multiple materials characterization techniques and reaction engineering will help the team to identify materials and conditions necessary to optimize thermochemical water splitting. We are confident that his addition to our UCSB team will bring us one step closer to achieving our corporate objectives.”
"I’m very excited for the opportunity to address one of the most important energy challenges of our generation-- the scalable production of green hydrogen-- alongside the expert team already assembled at UCSB,” said Dr. Marlowe. “I look forward to bringing my experience in materials characterization to the unique perspectives on reaction engineering and thermodynamics behind the team’s work to date to enable further strides in identifying ideal materials for the ThermoLoop™ process.”
NewHydrogen is currently funding a sponsored research program at the University of California, Santa Barbara (“UCSB”), to develop its ThermoLoop™ technology, a novel low-cost thermochemical process to split water using inexpensive heat, instead of expensive electricity. Since the commencement of the Company’s research project in August 2023, the UCSB team has been methodically developing the Company’s ThermoLoop™ technology around unique materials that use heat to produce hydrogen and oxygen when reacted in a cyclic process with water vapor.

NewHydrogen is developing ThermoLoop™ – a breakthrough technology that uses water and heat rather than electricity to produce the world’s lowest cost green hydrogen. Hydrogen is the cleanest and most abundant element in the universe, and we can’t live without it. Hydrogen is the key ingredient in making fertilizers needed to grow food for the world. It is also used for transportation, refining oil and making steel, glass, pharmaceuticals and more. Nearly all the hydrogen today is made from hydrocarbons like coal, oil, and natural gas, which are dirty and limited resources. Water, on the other hand, is an infinite and renewable worldwide resource.
Currently, the most common method of making green hydrogen is to split water into oxygen and hydrogen with an electrolyzer using green electricity produced from solar or wind. However, green electricity is and always will be very expensive. It currently accounts for 73% of the cost of green hydrogen. By using heat directly, we can skip the expensive process of making electricity, and fundamentally lower the cost of green hydrogen. Inexpensive heat can be obtained from concentrated solar, geothermal, nuclear reactors and industrial waste heat for use in our novel low-cost thermochemical water splitting process. Working with a world class research team at UC Santa Barbara, our goal is to help usher in the green hydrogen economy that Goldman Sachs estimated to have a future market value of $12 trillion.
