Among other climate-focused goals, the company is setting the stage to advance the hydrogen economy in Korea. The traditional thermal cracking of ammonia uses high heat and pressure to convert it to hydrogen gas. The Syzygy P-DA photoreactor has the potential to produce clean hydrogen from green ammonia and renewable electricity.
