Mission Statement
SHEC's mission is to provide to the world a source of clean renewable energy for the 21st century and beyond.
Background
Traditional methods of producing hydrogen have been to convert fossil fuels to hydrogen. This process creates extensive greenhouse gases in the conversion process, and has little benefit over burning the fossil fuels directly.
The Product:
SHEC has developed a process to produce hydrogen which does not create green house gases such as CO or CO2. It is "100% clean and 100% renewable" (TM). We use only water and sunlight as our only inputs into our proprietary process. The energy cycle is much like the oxygen cycle of plants and animals. Animals use oxygen, and give off CO2. Plants on the other hand use CO2 and give off Oxygen.
The hydrogen energy cycle is very similar. Our process takes water and produces Hydrogen and Oxygen. The oxygen can be released to the atmosphere (or bottled and sold), while the hydrogen is used as fuel. When the hydrogen is burned, it takes oxygen from the atmosphere and creates heat, with its by-product being water.
The Market:
The market for zero-emission generated hydrogen is as large as the oil and gas market itself. Hydrogen when burned, does not create green house gases which contribute to global warming and other health related issues. Hydrogen when burned, only produces water. Several states are adopting zero-emission standards for vehicles. Los Angeles for example has the highest number of electric cars in the world, and the emission standards still can not be met. The problem is that the power stations are consuming more fossil fuels than ever to recharge the batteries of these electric vehicles. The problem has moved from the vehicle to the power station. Our zero emission generated hydrogen can be used in fossil fuel burning power stations, automobiles with propane type conversions, fuel cell electric vehicles in which electricity is generated from the recombination of hydrogen and oxygen. Fuel cell electric engines are 2 to 3 times more efficient compared to internal combustion engines.
Other Benefits:
An area less than the size of North Dakota, has enough solar radiation to supply the entire energy needs of the United States. Reliance on imports of fossil fuels will be eliminated, and so will the cost of wars associated with it. The health benefits and preservation of our planet is of primary importance. Pollution of our atmosphere from the continual burning of fossil fuels have costs which are overlooked. These include health costs of respiratory related diseases caused by polluted air, and eventual costs of crop failures due to global warming.
