Hydrogen Production: Advantages & Disadvantages of Different Methods

Hydrogen, often hailed as the fuel of the future, is a versatile energy carrier that can be produced from a wide array of sources and processes. Depending on the production method, hydrogen is classified into several types, each characterized by its environmental impact and feedstock. Here, we’ll outline some of the more common hydrogen production methods being used and explored to power our future.

Every Project Starts with a Conversation

Chances are, your needs are specific. And our expertise is extensive. We want to learn as many of those details before taking on your project. When we know precisely what you need, we can develop a streamlined plan to produce it – in fact, we may be able to deliver more than you think.

Bringing Your Design to Life

Let’s bring your design to life so you (and we) can properly vet it. Our process actually allows for several designs to be arrayed on a single sheet, giving you more prototyping options than before. Producing your component exactly the way you need it is our only goal – often, prototyping is the best way to get there.

Our Superior Process at Work

Our photochemical machining process opens up a world of possibilities for your components. Every phase of this multi-step process is exceedingly precise and subject to stringent quality control – including 1st article inspections to guarantee dimensions. Our production processes are capable of both high and low volumes, and our production times are typically measured in days, not weeks, so you get your parts sooner.
