A spin-off from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Photreon, gained significant attraction at the Hannover Messe event, where it highlighted its hydrogen production technology and presented a new photoreactor panel.
The project showcased a one-square-meter prototype designed to generate hydrogen using only water and sunlight.
“We avoid the detour through electrically powered electrolysis, producing chemical energy from sunlight and water,” said photreon co-founder Paul Kant.
This system operates independently of the electrical grid and does not require the electrolyzers typically used in green hydrogen production.
By presenting this technology, the team demonstrated a method that could potentially lower the barriers to entry for decentralized hydrogen infrastructure.
