Hydrogen. Lots of hydrogen.

Low-cost, clean, distributed hydrogen Production

Our novel thermal process uses no external energy and consumes no water, making clean, affordable hydrogen and carbon black a reality.

It appears as though the hydrogen economy has arrived…and the choice is clear.

Introducing Clear™ Hydrogen from onesix energy

Hydrogen has been touted as the Fuel of the Future for decades. And yet, its production and transportation remains far too expensive for widespread adoption. Meanwhile, we have pinned our plans—and our future—to a far less-than-perfect solution. One that requires large amounts of green energy, and massive amounts of fresh water. Neither of which we can afford to waste.

OneSix Energy is redefining what it takes to produce low-cost, clean hydrogen. Modular. Scalable. Onsite. Without the use of catalysts. Without consuming water…or the need for outside energy.

The OneSix hydrogen platform is so different, we felt it needed its own band on the hydrogen rainbow. To us, the future of hydrogen production is Clear.
