Metals as Energy Carriers

ECS is developing a new generation of energy carrier technologies that use abundant metals and metalloids such as silicon, aluminum, and magnesium as reactive energy carriers. ECS systems produce hydrogen through a controlled hydrolysis process, in which the selected metals and metalloids react with water and release hydrogen on demand.

This approach enables safe, modular, and decentralized hydrogen generation while simultaneously producing valuable industrial oxide by-products.

H2Tech™ Technology

ECS H2Tech™ systems use patented reactor designs to convert metals and water into hydrogen on demand. The modular design enables deployment across industrial, energy, and distributed infrastructure applications.

Key technology advantages:

• Decentralized hydrogen generation.
• Modular scalable reactor systems.
• Reduced reliance on electricity-intensive electrolysis.
• Simultaneous production of valuable industrial oxide materials.
