The End-Use Crisis in Hydrogen — Why the World Needs CRT
1. The Global Hydrogen Paradox
Governments and industries worldwide are investing billions into hydrogen
production—electrolysers, hubs, export terminals, and pipelines. Yet a fundamental question
remains unanswered:
What is the final, scalable end-use of hydrogen?
Despite massive investment, no universal, commercially viable, large-scale end-use pathway exists
today. The world is producing hydrogen without a plan for how to use it.
2. Why Current Hydrogen Carriers Are Only Detours
Ammonia
- Requires energy-intensive nitrogen separation.
- Cracking back to hydrogen is costly and inefficient (40–50% energy loss).
- Produces NOx on combustion.
- Toxicity and safety concerns limit wide adoption.
- Converting ammonia to urea requires adding carbon—defeating the purpose.
Methanol & Liquid Organic Carriers
- Methanol fuel cells remain niche and cannot scale to grid-level energy.
- Liquid carriers (MCH, others) are complex, catalyst-dependent, and inefficient.
Liquid or Compressed Hydrogen
- Extreme cryogenic temperatures (−253°C) or very high pressures are required.
- Boil-off losses, material embrittlement, and major safety risks.
- Not economical at the industrial or national scale.
Conclusion: All existing hydrogen carriers add cost, energy loss, and complexity. They solve none of
the long-term stability, storage, or combustion challenges.
3. The Missing Piece: A Practical, Scalable Hydrogen End-Use
Industry wants a fuel that:
- Burns stably.
- Works in existing turbines and infrastructure.
- Stores easily.
- Transports safely.
- Scales to baseload power.
Hydrogen alone does not meet these requirements. Methane does. But methane only becomes
climate-compatible if the carbon is kept in a closed loop.
4. CRT: The Only Complete End-Use Pathway for Hydrogen
Carbon Recycling Technology (CRT) solves the end-use crisis by providing hydrogen with its
natural and universal carrier: carbon.
CRT Converts Renewable Hydrogen into Renewable Methane (RNG)
- Perfect combustion properties.
- Fully compatible with all existing gas turbines.
- Uses global gas infrastructure without modification.
- Enables true 24/7 renewable baseload power.
- Stores and transports easily and safely.
- Eliminates reliance on ammonia, methanol, cryogenic hydrogen, or detours.
Most importantly:
CRT keeps carbon permanently inside a closed loop.
No CO2 escapes. No atmospheric accumulation. No external emissions.
This transforms methane into a renewable, perpetual, zero-emission energy carrier.
5. Solar Energy: The Ultimate Fuel, Delivered Through CRT
Solar energy is the ultimate, universally accepted renewable fuel. But the world lacks a scalable,
practical pathway to deliver solar energy directly to industries, businesses, and homes.
CRT provides the simplest, most established, and technically proven pathway to convert solar
power into a usable, dispatchable fuel.
By converting solar-derived hydrogen into renewable methane and recycling carbon indefinitely,
CRT transforms intermittent sunlight into a continuous, stable, transportable energy source.
6. Why the World Needs CRT Now
The hydrogen industry faces a structural bottleneck: massive production with no viable end-use
pathway. CRT resolves this crisis by providing:
- A stable hydrogen end-use.
- A fully scalable renewable fuel.
- Immediate grid and industrial compatibility.
- A true zero-emission closed-carbon cycle.
- A practical alternative to all detour carriers.
CRT is not another hydrogen technology—it is the missing system that makes the entire hydrogen
economy viable.
