Description (French)
GH Power Inc. développe un réacteur aluminium-eau exclusif qui transforme l’aluminium recyclé en trois produits zéro carbone : de l’alumine de haute pureté pour les batteries des véhicules électriques, les semi-conducteurs et le verre spécialisé ; de l’hydrogène vert de qualité pile à combustible et de l’énergie thermique utilisable. Ce projet permettra de valider le fonctionnement continu du réacteur 24 heures sur 24, 7 jours sur 7, au niveau de NMT 9, de confirmer la conformité du produit aux spécifications des clients et de fournir une conception de réacteur modulaire pour une commercialisation mondiale, positionnant ainsi le Canada comme un leader dans le domaine de l’hydrogène propre et des minéraux critiques.
