FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is aluminum-water reaction (AWR) hydrogen production?
AWR is a chemical process where aluminum powder reacts with water at ambient temperature to produce hydrogen gas on demand. ASRHÜR's patented system achieves 96% reaction efficiency with no external power, pipeline, or high-pressure storage required.
How efficient is ASRHÜR's AWR technology compared to electrolysis?
ASRHÜR's AWR technology achieves 96% reaction efficiency and 47.3 g-H₂/L volumetric capacity, compared to approximately 25 g/L for compressed gas systems. Unlike electrolysis, it requires no external power source.
What is the ReactoN 0 system?
ReactoN 0 is ASRHÜR's portable field hydrogen generator. It produces 1-2 kg H₂ per hour at fuel-cell-grade output (independent certification planned at TRL 5) with no external power required, designed for emergency response and off-grid operations.
Is ASRHÜR's AWR technology peer-reviewed?
Yes. The core AWR technology was peer-reviewed and published in Chemical Papers (Springer Nature) in 2025. DOI: 10.1007/s11696-025-04238-7.
What institutional recognition has ASRHÜR received?
ASRHÜR has received the World Bank SOGREEN Program grant and the EU Commission Seal of Excellence under the Hyber project (Ref: 101310755 · HORIZON-WIDERA-2025-02-ACCESS-01 · EIC Pre-Accelerator). It is supported by TÜBİTAK, Teknogirişim, and Orion Tekmer (THK).
What does TRL 4 mean for ASRHÜR?
TRL 4 (Technology Readiness Level 4) means the technology has been validated in a laboratory environment. ASRHÜR is targeting TRL 5 demonstrator and TRL 6 field validation with its current seed round investment.
