SANTA CLARITA, Calif., Oct. 01, 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. Yikyeom Kim recently joined the UCSB Technology Team to help with the development of the Company’s cost-effective thermochemical water splitting technology.

Dr. Kim will join Dr. Philip Christopher and Dr. Eric McFarland at the University of California, Santa Barbara, to advance cost-effective, entropy-driven thermochemical water splitting. Dr. Kim has published several papers on redox reactions of metal oxides and has collaborated on chemical looping hydrogen production through Korea's Engineering Research Center program, as well as with LOTTE Chemical Corp. on using waste plastics for hydrogen production.
"We are excited to welcome Dr. Kim to our team," said Steve Hill, CEO of NewHydrogen. "His expertise in tailored redox catalysts and gas-solid reactions will accelerate our development efforts. We believe his contributions will bring us closer to our corporate objectives."
Before joining the team, Dr. Kim conducted his doctoral research at KAIST under Dr. Jae W. Lee, focusing on perovskite oxides for hydrogen production. He holds a B.S. from Yonsei University and an M.S. and Ph.D. from KAIST.
"I am thrilled to join UCSB's expert team to tackle the challenge of scalable green hydrogen production," said Dr. Kim. "The ThermoLoop™ process is a fundamentally different approach compared to traditional methods, and I look forward to contributing to the identification of ideal materials for the process."
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 essential for various industries, from fertilizers to transportation, and nearly all hydrogen today is made from hydrocarbons. NewHydrogen aims to revolutionize green hydrogen production by using inexpensive heat sources such as concentrated solar, geothermal, and industrial waste heat, reducing reliance on costly green electricity. Working with UC Santa Barbara, NewHydrogen's goal is to help usher in the green hydrogen economy, which Goldman Sachs estimates could have a market value of $12 trillion.
