Aquafacture Details

Characteristics Basically, aquafacture is a process that uses a dedicated grid of solar-generated electricity and seawater to produce hydrogen. The hydrogen is then pumped up to a nearby mountaintop to a cluster of 5 or more power plants using Advanced Hydrogen Turbines (currently under development) that do not require fuel … Continue reading →
