Fusion for Green Hydrogen
Firm, DC-native fusion power is an ideal match for hydrogen electrolysis — high utilization and a direct DC feed make for cheaper, cleaner hydrogen.
- Method
- Electrolysis splits water into hydrogen
- Electrolyzers
- Run on DC — matched by DEC output
- Firm supply
- High utilization → lower H₂ cost
- Emissions
- Zero operating CO₂
Green hydrogen — made by splitting water with clean electricity — is a key tool for decarbonizing transport, industry, and long-duration storage. But its cost is dominated by the electricity price and the utilization of the electrolyzer, and intermittent power hurts both. Firm fusion power addresses exactly those weaknesses.
Two features make Kronos MetroVolt an unusually good match. First, it's firm, so electrolyzers can run at high utilization instead of sitting idle when the wind drops — the single biggest lever on hydrogen cost. Second, electrolyzers run on DC, and MetroVolt's direct-energy-conversion output is DC-native, cutting conversion stages and losses.
Firm, cheap, DC-native clean electricity is close to the ideal input for large-scale hydrogen production — a natural strategic-partnership application for the technology.
