The Company’s ThermoLoop technology relies on a paradigm shift to use inexpensive heat and water to potentially produce the world’s cheapest green hydrogen
SANTA CLARITA, Calif. (March 11, 2025) – NewHydrogen, Inc. (OTCMKTS: NEWH), the developer of ThermoLoop™, a breakthrough technology that uses water and heat rather than electricity to produce the world’s cheapest green hydrogen, announced today that it has jointly filed a patent application in the United States with the University of California, Santa Barbara (“UCSB”) for its innovative hydrogen production process.
The patent, titled “Coupled Multi-Phase Oxidation-Reduction for Production of Chemicals,” introduces a novel thermochemical method for splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen without relying on expensive electrolyzers. This proprietary process utilizes advanced solid-state materials and machine learning-driven material discovery to optimize efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
“Our latest innovation represents a major leap forward in hydrogen production,” said Steve Hill, CEO of NewHydrogen. “By leveraging a multi-phase oxidation-reduction cycle, we can generate hydrogen at lower temperatures and greater efficiency than conventional methods. This breakthrough moves us closer to making green hydrogen economically viable at scale that will help bring to pass what Goldman Sachs estimates to be a $12 trillion market opportunity.”
NewHydrogen’s technology is designed to overcome the limitations of electrolysis by using regenerable reactive solids to separate oxidation and reduction reactions, mimicking the efficiency of electrochemical processes without the high cost. The process has wide-ranging implications for industries seeking sustainable hydrogen solutions, from energy storage and transportation to industrial applications.
The patent filing marks a significant milestone in NewHydrogen’s collaboration with leading researchers at UC Santa Barbara, who are at the forefront of advancing materials science for hydrogen production.

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.
