Dirty water boosts prospects for clean hydrogen

Wastewater can replace clean water as a source for hydrogen production, eliminating a major drawback to hydrogen fuel and reducing water treatment costs by up to 47%, according to new research from Princeton Engineering.

H2-View News: Utility Global to build electrolyser demo at Seongnam water plant

The US-based firm will use its H2Gen technology platform to produce “fuel cell-grade” green hydrogen. Hydrogen produced at the “Frontier Korea” facility by Utility Korea LLC will be supplied to the E1 hydrogen refuelling station in Seongnam for use in fuel cell buses, trucks, and passenger vehicles. The company sees South Korea as “one of the most developed hydrogen-powered vehicle markets in the world,” and therefore, potential for its electrol…

Dirty water can make clean hydrogen—And cut costs by 47%, study finds

In a breakthrough that could make clean energy more practical and affordable, researchers at Princeton University have found a way to use treated wastewater—rather than clean drinking water—to produce hydrogen fuel. The discovery could cut water treatment costs nearly in half and make hydrogen a more sustainable energy source for industries like steel and fertilizer […] The post Dirty water can make clean hydrogen—And cut costs by 47%, study fin…

Hydrogen production made possible with treated wastewater

Los Angeles CA (SPX) Oct 29, 2025 Princeton University engineers have demonstrated that reclaimed wastewater can be used for hydrogen generation, reducing reliance on clean water and lowering water treatment costs for hydrogen fuel production by up to 47 percent. Their research, reported in Water Research, outlines a process that allows hydrogen production for high-energy industries using water sourced from municipal treatment p
