About ProtonCraft
ProtonCraft combines 'Proton,' the core of a hydrogen atom, with 'Craft,' symbolizing creation. Just as hydrogen's single proton is the building block of the universe, ProtonCraft harnesses this fundamental power to fuel innovation and create new possibilities.
Hydrogen: Key to Decarbonization
Reduction in costs of renewable energy, cost of electrolysers coming down by as much as 60% in the last 3 years and an overall system efficiency- ecosystem getting more ripe and efficient has led us to believing in the role of hydrogen to decarbonise our economies- ~90% of the required carbon reductions are estimated to come from the use of green hydrogen!
Advancing Hydrogen Storage Technology
Abundance H2 having very high calorific value compare to fossils fuels, is the best alternative in near future to save this planet. There were some problem with H2 like low volumetric energy density but advancement in technology to store H2 at high pressure has made the commercialization possible by significantly increasing the Volumetric density better than Li ion batteries at more than 100 bar pressure. So, H2 is the prominent green energy storage medium.
Our Vision
Our Mission to Decarbonize Industries
- Our goal is to replace fossil fuels with hydrogen as a primary energy source, as it’s the only viable solution for true decarbonization.
- We are driven to convert industrial byproducts like H2S into valuable outputs—Hydrogen Gas and Sulfur.
- We recognize the significant emissions from industries and are committed to reducing them through hydrogen-based solutions.
We aims to become Global Exporter of cost effective and efficient Hydrogen by 2030. Through our effort, we envision a net zero future with hydrogen.
Problem In Hydrogen Production
Grey Hydrogen
- 95% of all is Grey Hydrogen with high emissions costs around $1-2.1
- Produced from steam reforming of natural gas
- For every 1 kg of H2, 14 kg of CO2 released
Green Hydrogen
- Highly expensive due to high energy consumption cost around $3.6-5.8
- Using purified H2O with around 65% efficiency.
- Wastage of fresh water resources which is limited.
Industrial HAZARD - abundant hydrogen SULFIDE
- Natural Gas mines contain 28% deadly H2S Gas.
- Major sources - Oil refineries, Tannery industry, Coke-oven, etc.
- Currently, H2S waste is oxidized, producing just unvaluable by-products: Sulfur and Steam.
Our Solution
Our technology transforms hydrogen sulfide into hydrogen, supporting refineries and producing valuable sulfur for various industries.
We are converting waste to wealth!!
