The next manifestation of renewable energy is currently in the crucible of Israeli research and development.

TurboGen – a company specializing in development of hybrid microturbines for self-generation of electricity and heat in microgrids, buildings and structures – is working to enable the systems it develops to use hydrogen to generate energy. In line with the global trend of transition to clean energies and the initiation of large-scale projects for hydrogen production, the company will work to develop a microturbine that will operate on 100% hydrogen.

As companies and governments seek new and innovative ways to transition to renewable energy sources, many companies such as TurboGen have turned to hydrogen as a vehicle to a cleaner future. The natural element can be combined with oxygen in specific configurations in order to generate electricity, similar to the structure of modern batteries. Unlike standard batteries, however, hydrogen cells do not typically contain harmful corrosive chemicals, and their energy production is remarkably clean and renewable, producing little to no carbon emissions.
