NewHydrogen, Inc. filed an international patent application on March 12, 2026, with the University of California, Santa Barbara for its ThermoLoop hydrogen technology. The filing, under the Patent Cooperation Treaty, covers 158 contracting countries and is titled “Coupled Multi‑phase Oxidation‑Reducing For Production of Chemicals.” The application expands the company’s intellectual‑property portfolio to include new material compositions and an isothermal hydrogen production process that operates below 1,000 °C, a key advantage over traditional thermochemical methods.
ThermoLoop uses heat and water to produce clean hydrogen without electricity, leveraging AI‑driven discovery of optimal materials. The technology’s lower operating temperature reduces capital and operating costs, positioning NewHydrogen to offer a more cost‑effective alternative to electrolysis. The joint filing underscores the collaborative nature of the development and strengthens the company’s position as it moves toward commercialization and potential licensing or partnership opportunities.
“This international patent filing represents a critical milestone in our mission to produce the world's most cost-effective clean hydrogen,” said Steve Hill, CEO of NewHydrogen. “By combining advanced material science with AI-driven discovery, we are creating a scalable, carbon‑free path for hydrogen production that bypasses the high costs of electricity‑intensive electrolysis.” The filing follows the company’s first lab‑scale production of clean hydrogen in July 2025 and a second provisional patent application in November 2025.
NewHydrogen’s ThermoLoop technology is positioned to tap a $12 trillion clean hydrogen market projected by Goldman Sachs. The company aims to capture a significant share by offering a scalable, low‑cost solution that can be integrated with heat sources such as small modular nuclear reactors. While the company has not yet announced a commercialization timeline, the patent filing signals a strategic step toward protecting its breakthrough technology and opening avenues for future licensing or partnership deals.
NewHydrogen trades on the OTCQB Venture Market under the ticker NEWH. As of March 11, 2026, the stock was trading at approximately $0.0182, with a market capitalization of $18.0 million. The filing does not affect the company’s current financials but enhances its intellectual‑property portfolio and positions it for potential future revenue streams from licensing or strategic collaborations.
