SunHydrogen, the developer of a technology to produce renewable hydrogen using sunlight and water, entered into a joint development agreement with Honda R&D Co., Ltd.. SunHydrogen’s solar hydrogen technology uses abundant and low-cost materials, requires no external power other than sunlight, and is designed with scalability in mind. Its core components include a substrate, photovoltaic layers, and catalysts that integrate to split water molecules into green hydrogen and oxygen. (Earlier post.)

Working in collaboration with SunHydrogen, Honda R&D Co. will use its industry-leading manufacturing and design capabilities jointly to develop an installation-ready hydrogen panel for safe and efficient hydrogen production and collection.

The principal objective of the joint development agreement between Honda and SunHydrogen is to synergize efforts toward the application of SunHydrogen’s innovative solar-hydrogen module technology for cost-effective green hydrogen.

Honda R&D Co. engages in the research and development of emerging technologies and products that can bring value to Honda as the company looks to reach carbon neutrality for all products and operations by 2050.
