NewHydrogen’s
CEO and Sustainable Farming Expert Explore the Role of Green Hydrogen in Agriculture
Dr.
Krish Jayachandran presents green hydrogen: a catalyst for sustainable farming
SANTA
CLARITA, Calif. (July 15, 2024) — NewHydrogen, Inc. (OTCMKTS:NEWH), the developer of ThermoLoop™, a breakthrough technology
that uses water and heat rather than electricity to produce the world’s cheapest green hydrogen, today announced a podcast featuring
CEO Steve Hill and Dr. Krish Jayachandran with Environmental Microbiology/Soil Science in the Department of Earth and Environment at
Florida International University, discussing advancements in green hydrogen production.
In
a recent podcast, Steve Hill and Dr. Jayachandran discussed the transformative potential of green hydrogen in sustainable agriculture.
Dr. Jayachandran stated, “This green hydrogen, green ammonia can revolutionize future sustainable agriculture practice if properly
implemented.”
The
conversation between Dr. Jayachandran and Hill revolved around the pressing need for collaborative efforts to address research and development
challenges in the field. They underscored the ecological advantages and diverse applications of green hydrogen, projecting its use in
powering farm machinery and irrigation systems, all while mitigating carbon emissions.
In
his concluding remarks, Dr. Jayachandran asserted, “The future of agriculture hinges on the widespread adoption of green technologies
and sustainable practices.”
Dr.
Krish Jayachandran received his PhD in Plant Pathology with specialization in Soil Microbiology and Soil Science, from Kansas State University.
Dr. Jayachandran is a Distinguished University Professor of Environmental Microbiology/Soil Science in the Department of Earth and Environment.
Using microbiology as a central tool, he is specialized in nutrient cycling and soil health, microbial diversity and activity, isolation
and characterization of pesticide degrading microorganisms, biocontrol of invasive plant species, marine and freshwater toxins and microbial
degradation, and soil-plant-microbial interactions. Dr. Jayachandran is listed as Google Scholar at https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=cikM3poAAAAJ.

About
NewHydrogen, Inc.
NewHydrogen
is developing ThermoLoop™ – a breakthrough technology that uses water and heat rather than electricity to produce the world’s
lowest cost green hydrogen. Hydrogen is the cleanest and most abundant element in the universe, and we can’t live without it. Hydrogen
is the key ingredient in making fertilizers needed to grow food for the world. It is also used for transportation, refining oil and making
steel, glass, pharmaceuticals and more. Nearly all the hydrogen today is made from hydrocarbons like coal, oil, and natural gas, which
are dirty and limited resources. Water, on the other hand, is an infinite and renewable worldwide resource.
Currently,
the most common method of making green hydrogen is to split water into oxygen and hydrogen with an electrolyzer using green electricity
produced from solar or wind. However, green electricity is and always will be very expensive. It currently accounts for 73% of the cost
of green hydrogen. By using heat directly, we can skip the expensive process of making electricity, and fundamentally lower the cost
of green hydrogen. Inexpensive heat can be obtained from concentrated solar, geothermal, nuclear reactors and industrial waste heat for
use in our novel low-cost thermochemical water splitting process. Working with a world class research team at UC Santa Barbara, our goal
is to help usher in the green hydrogen economy that Goldman Sachs estimated to have a future market value of $12 trillion.

NewHydrogen
CEO Steve Hill Welcomes Dr. Justin Marlowe to NewHydrogen Team to Help Drive ThermoLoop™ Innovation
Dr.
Marlowe brings his expertise in multiple materials characterization techniques and reaction engineering
SANTA
CLARITA, Calif. (July 16, 2024) — NewHydrogen, Inc. (OTCMKTS:NEWH), the developer of ThermoLoop™, a breakthrough technology
that uses water and heat rather than electricity to produce the world’s cheapest green hydrogen, today announced that Dr. Justin
Marlowe recently joined the UCSB Technology Team for the development of a cost-effective thermochemical water splitting technology.
Dr.
Marlowe will join Dr. Phil Christopher and Dr. Eric McFarland at the University of California, Santa Barbara to realize cost-effective,
entropy-driven thermochemical water splitting. He has published several high impact works in the field of heterogeneous catalysis, broadly,
and has participated in collaborative work on energy transitions funded by the U.S. Department of Energy. Dr. Marlowe’s expertise
in multiple materials characterization techniques and reaction engineering will enable the identification of materials and conditions
necessary to optimize thermochemical water splitting to hydrogen. Before joining the team, Dr. Marlowe conducted his doctoral research
at UCSB with Dr. Phil Christopher and Dr. Mahdi Abu-Omar on catalytic materials targeting the replacement of petroleum with renewable
biomass for the production of chemicals and fuels. He holds a B.S. in Chemical Engineering, Summa Cum Laude, from Rutgers University
and a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from UCSB.
“We
are excited to welcome Dr. Marlowe to our team and expect him to have an immediate impact in strengthening technology development activities,”
said Mr. Steve Hill, CEO of NewHydrogen. “His expertise in multiple materials characterization techniques and reaction engineering
will help the team to identity materials and conditions necessary to optimize thermochemical water splitting. We are confident that his
addition to our UCSB team will bring us one step closer to achieving our corporate objectives.”
“I’m
very excited for the opportunity to address one of the most important energy challenges of our generation
— the scalable production of green hydrogen — alongside the expert team already assembled at
UCSB,” said Dr. Marlowe. “I look forward to bringing my experience in materials characterization to the unique
perspectives on reaction engineering and thermodynamics behind the team’s work to date to enable further strides in
identifying ideal materials for the ThermoLoop™ process.”
NewHydrogen
is currently funding a sponsored research program at the University of California, Santa Barbara (“UCSB”), to develop its
ThermoLoopTM technology, a novel low-cost thermochemical process to split water using inexpensive heat, instead of expensive
electricity. Since the commencement of the Company’s research project in August 2023, the UCSB team has been methodically developing
the Company’s ThermoLoopTM technology around unique materials that use heat to produce hydrogen and oxygen when reacted
in a cyclic process with water vapor.
