More specifically, it was 25K cubic feet of hydrogen per day based on processing 25K gallons of water. The bioreactors can be expanded...a lot more information there and Mr. Hartman is so credible in his assessment. Glad he is the Senior VP.

You make a very good point about the BTU value of Hydrogen bigblock. The BTU value of one pound of Hydrogen is about 61,000 BTU's vs 20,500 BTU's for gasoline. I am not sure what the values are for other fuels like Natural Gas etc. Pound for pound Hydrogen is more energy intensive than just about any other fuels. However the volume of Hydrogen at room temperature compared to one pound of gasoline is vastly different. My figures say one pound of Hydrogen occupies 190-cu/ft of space at room temperatures and one pound of gasoline occupies 1/50th cu/ft. However when used on the site of a wastewater bioreactor that will not be a negative. The on site Hydrogen can be used right there to generate the electricity and heat needed for that facility. Any surplus would probably be used to generate electricity sent out on the grid. There will also be thousands of gallons of pure water and the byproducts of the Carbon Dioxide scrubbing should provide income also. We are probably years away from seeing the Hydrogen generated by NNLX bio-reactors going into the gas tank of the family car but just about every city in the World could be using an NNLX bioreactor in waste water treatment within less than five years.
