"Jules Hydrogen is more than a product; it's a transformative solution that reflects Green CHP's commitment to making green hydrogen production both affordable and scalable."
Photovoltaic-Thermal (PVT) technology enhances hydrogen production by capturing both solar electricity and thermal energy. Unlike standard PV systems, PVT panels generate electricity and capture heat simultaneously, providing a consistent thermal source that preheats water for electrolysis. This dual energy supply reduces the demand on electrolyzers-whether PEM, alkaline, or SOEC-improving their efficiency and lowering the total energy required for hydrogen production. By maximizing energy output per unit area, PVT technology in THS delivers a compact, cost-effective, and sustainable approach to green hydrogen, setting a new benchmark for renewable energy systems.
Advanced DC power solutions are central to the scalability and adaptability of Jules Hydrogen. Technologies like IGBT-based buck rectifiers, SCR/thyristor rectifiers, and back-to-back DC/DC converters play a critical role in regulating and stabilizing power flows between renewable sources and the electrolyzer system. These power electronics ensure that Jules Hydrogen consistently delivers optimal voltage and current levels, regardless of fluctuations in renewable energy inputs. This stability enables Jules Hydrogen to operate efficiently across diverse production environments, from small modular units to expansive hydrogen hubs, ensuring reliable and scalable green hydrogen production.
Jules Hydrogen's efficiency is driven by a high-temperature thermal storage system that captures surplus heat from PVT panels, pre-heating water feedstock to reduce the electricity needed for hydrogen production. By lowering the demand on electrolyzers, this storage system cuts operational costs, stabilizes production, and boosts energy conversion efficiency. An advanced control system seamlessly integrates thermal storage, PVT panels, power electronics, and electrolyzers, continuously adjusting energy flows to optimize output. This dynamic balance between thermal and electrical inputs ensures Jules Hydrogen operates at peak efficiency, maintaining stable production even with renewable energy fluctuations.

Hydrogen production is currently dominated by carbon-intensive methods, primarily steam methane reforming (SMR). SMR is a process in which natural gas (mainly methane) is heated with steam to produce hydrogen. While widely used due to its relative efficiency and lower cost, SMR is heavily reliant on fossil fuels, emitting substantial quantities of carbon dioxide (CO₂) as a byproduct.
For every kilogram of hydrogen produced through SMR, approximately 9-10 kilograms of CO₂ are released into the atmosphere. Given that most hydrogen production globally still relies on SMR, this makes hydrogen a significant contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.This reliance on high-emission processes for hydrogen production presents a critical challenge, particularly as the world seeks to scale up hydrogen use in sectors such as transportation, industry, and power generation for a cleaner energy transition.
Without a shift to low-carbon or zero-carbon production methods, such as electrolysis powered by renewable energy, hydrogen's potential as a clean energy carrier cannot be fully realized. As a result, there is growing interest in alternative methods like green hydrogen production through electrolysis and innovative solutions like Thermal Hydrogen Synthesis (THS), which combine renewable energy sources to produce hydrogen without emitting CO₂.Transitioning from traditional SMR to renewable hydrogen technologies can play a crucial role in reducing the carbon footprint of hydrogen and aligning its production with climate goals.
