Quick Overview The Science Behind Green Hydrogen Production The University of Kansas’s recent research endeavor focuses on water-splitting catalysts using pentamethylcyclopentadienyl rhodium complexes (CpRh). “Understanding how the chemical reactions that make clean fuels like hydrogen work is very challenging — this paper represents the culmination of a project that I started in my very first year at KU,” said co-author James Blakemore, associate professor of chemistry  “Hydrogen is a commodity chemical—nearly 100 million tons are produced annually worldwide,” says Kevin Leonard, professor of chemical & petroleum engineering at KU and Avium’s chief science officer.  “It’s used in fertilizers, cement production, … Continue reading Green Hydrogen at $1 Per Kilo by 2031?
