Green CHP™ unveils Jules Hydrogen™, an end-to-end solution for the optimization of H2 production

Green CHP, a renewable energy and data company that combines advanced combined heat and power systems with real-time data services, announced the launch of Jules Hydrogen™, a groundbreaking solution for clean H2 production that brings together end to end systems integration and optimization with a suite of technology leaders in advanced power electronics, high-temperature thermal storage, photovoltaic thermal (PVT) panels, BESS, and state-of-the-art controls into one cohesive system. Designed to optimize various electrolyzer technologies, Jules Hydrogen offers unparalleled scalability and efficiency, dramatically reducing the overall cost of H2 production and accelerating the transition to clean energy.

Green CHP also announced a strategic partnership with Dynapower, whose cutting-edge power solutions play a vital role in making green H2 both scalable and efficient. With an array of technologies like IGBT-based buck rectifiers, SCR/thyristor rectifiers, back-to-back DC/DC converters, and voltage source inverter-based systems, Dynapower's solutions provide the flexibility needed to adapt Jules Hydrogen to a variety of production environments, including centralized plants and direct renewable-resource connections.

H2 production is currently dominated by carbon-intensive methods such as steam methane reforming (SMR), which relies on fossil fuels like natural gas emitting significant amounts of CO₂—up to 10 kg for every 1 kg of H2 produced—making H2 production a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions.

By integrating thermal and electrical energy through its proprietary approach to thermal H2 synthesis (THS), Jules Hydrogen enhances H2 production efficiency by up to 20%, supporting existing electrolyzer technologies such as PEM, alkaline, and SOEC. The solution leverages hybrid PVT panels to harness up to four times more energy per acre, reducing energy losses, minimizing electrolysis demand, and maximizing H2 yield—all within a low-cost, zero-GHG framework.

"H2 holds immense promise as a clean energy source, but traditional production methods remain carbon-intensive," said Terry Bickham, Chief Engineer at Green CHP. "Most providers address only one component of the process, missing the opportunity to optimize the entire value chain. Jules Hydrogen changes that. By integrating every subsystem and using our renewable-powered THS process, we can cut H2 production costs and reduce fossil fuel dependence, bringing the true vision of clean H2 energy within reach."

For a 100-MW H2 production plant, Jules Hydrogen and the THS process could generate an additional $12.3 MM in annual revenue, assuming a market H2 price of $5 per kilogram. This increased efficiency also results in an annual reduction of approximately 23,000 metric tons of CO₂ emissions, based on an offset of 9.3 kg of CO₂ per kilogram of green H2 produced.

Named after the visionary author Jules Verne, Jules Hydrogen pays homage to his foresight in The Mysterious Island, where he imagined a future powered by H2 as "an inexhaustible source of heat and light." This sentiment aligns with Green CHP's mission to support a cleaner, more resilient energy system and represents a milestone in sustainable energy innovation.

"Jules Hydrogen is more than a product; it's a transformative solution that reflects Green CHP's commitment to making green H2 production both affordable and scalable," said Emily Norcross, founder, and CEO of Green CHP. "We envision a world that breathes easier: where energy abundance, economic growth, and cleaner air converge to create lasting harmony between environmental sustainability and global prosperity. Jules Hydrogen will help us get there."
