THE PROJECT

"With SPEEDHY, our aim is to showcase a new technology based on engineered diamond structures with defects for the green production of hydrogen (H2) and ammonia (NH3) using concentrated solar radiation.

This technology features high conversion efficiency, excellent scalability and modularity, and cost-effectiveness for mass market production, with the goal of achieving economically viable production in an environmentally sustainable context."
