Under the direction of inventor, J. Thomas Beck, SHEC Labs in Saskatoon, SK, Canada has demonstrated that solar energy can be concentrated to over 1500°F and used to produce Hydrogen. Proprietary catalytic process involved. Commercialization commenced May, 2006.

The water-to-hydrogen process is presently on hold, in favor of the methane-to-hydrogen process from landfills which eliminates a potent greenhouse gas. A pilot plant in Regina, SK Canada is expected to be completed in 2008.

NEC Review

NEC founder, Sterling D. Allan, posted the following on May 27, 2006.

I traveled down to Phoenix two years ago to view a debut of a SHEC Solar Hydrogen prototype.

I will say that I was very impressed with the scientific rigor being pursued. They had present some very sophisticated equipment and independent personnel to run that equipment and do the analysis of the rate of production.

I was able to have lunch with some of the principals in the company.

I don't have a good grasp of the efficiency of the system, but I will say that the technology appears to me to be much more credible and feasible than most of the things we at NEC review out in the fringe of science.
