NewHydrogen Appoints Dr. Eric McFarland as CTO to Drive Green Hydrogen Technology Development
Key Ideas
  • Dr. Eric McFarland appointed as Chief Technology Officer of NewHydrogen to lead the development and commercialization of ThermoLoop™ technology.
  • McFarland's extensive experience in energy systems and reaction engineering will accelerate the transition of ThermoLoop from laboratory to the commercial market.
  • NewHydrogen recently filed a joint U.S. patent application with UCSB for its innovative hydrogen production process, a crucial step in advancing ThermoLoop technology.
  • ThermoLoop technology aims to produce low-cost green hydrogen using water and heat, offering a more affordable and sustainable alternative to traditional methods.
NewHydrogen, a company in Santa Clarita, California, specializing in green hydrogen technology, appointed Dr. Eric McFarland as its Chief Technology Officer. Dr. McFarland, with a background in Nuclear Engineering and extensive experience in energy systems and reaction engineering, will spearhead the development and commercialization of ThermoLoop™ technology. This technology uses water and heat, instead of electricity, to produce green hydrogen, aiming to become the world's cheapest option. Dr. McFarland's role will involve optimizing performance, reducing costs, and facilitating commercial deployment. Having filed a joint U.S. patent application with UCSB, NewHydrogen marks a significant milestone in advancing its hydrogen production process. The company's ThermoLoop technology seeks to revolutionize green hydrogen production by utilizing inexpensive heat sources like concentrated solar, geothermal, and nuclear reactors. By leveraging a novel low-cost thermochemical water splitting process, NewHydrogen aims to contribute to the green hydrogen economy, estimated to have a future market value of $12 trillion according to Goldman Sachs. This innovative approach not only reduces costs but also promotes sustainability by using renewable resources. The appointment of Dr. McFarland and the progress in patent applications indicate a positive trajectory for NewHydrogen and the development of green hydrogen technology.
