Dr. Paul Palies described a clean combustion system that doesn’t add nitrogen oxide and eliminates carbon
Dr. Palies said, “There is a need for a clean combustion system that doesn't add nitrogen oxide and completely removes the carbon footprint. Despite the current cost and infrastructure challenges associated with hydrogen, I am confident in its potential for aviation applications in the future.”
The discussion included the challenges and potential solutions for decarbonizing aviation, and the concept of using hydrogen in combustion, emphasizing the need for controlled combustion to prevent engine damage. Dr. Palies said, “Our team is conducting research on premix combustion, a method that could reduce emissions while maintaining thermal power. I acknowledge the current limitations, such as the need for further research and development, but I am highly optimistic about the progress being made and the potential for future investments in this area.”
Also discussed was the funding situation for their research on hydrogen and aviation. Dr. Palies said, “There is a very limited research funding from agencies such as the

About
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
