He argues that current electrolysis methods rely heavily on energy and rare earth materials, limiting their scalability. "Only 10% of energy needs could be met using these techniques," he explained. Dr. van Schalkwijk proposes a more localized hydrogen production system, using heated sand to generate hydrogen at home.
"This decentralized approach could reduce dependence on imported energy and build a resilient energy infrastructure," he added. Dr. van Schalkwijk also emphasized the need to move beyond energy-intensive processes to develop more sustainable energy solutions.
