One is electron.
One is molecule.
Today,
Renewable has already won the battle against electricity.
So renewable energy is much lower on making electricity.
But there's still another battle, is green molecule is about two or three times expensive than gray molecule from coal and gas.
We have to make as cheap energy
as possible have this cost parity to the grade.
So we should redesign the entire energy system and redesign the equipment, then reduce costs significantly.
So first,
we designed an AI-regulated wind turbine, which is able to capture more energy while reducing costs significantly.
We are also designing the world's first hybrid energy storage system by combining a lithium battery with a supercapacitor.
It's able to support the grid with much less cost.
And we are improving the efficiency of electrolyzer by innovating membranes and electrodes significantly.
In order to make the construction work in the desert much easier, much cheaper, we designed a modular prefabricated hydrogen plant.
which makes construction work in the desert as easy as stacking Legos.
And we are also developing AI physical models, starting from predicting weather, wind and solar, to manage grid automatically.
So today,
We are already achieving the lowest cost of green hydrogen and green ammonia in the world.
But there are still some gaps.
