Energy Sustainability, Green Hydrogen – The Cryptonomist

The global energy industry, particularly the transport and mobility sectors, is long overdue for a paradigm shift from fossil fuels toward sustainable energy, thanks to green hydrogen. There is an increasing outcry on the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, reduce air and water pollution, and set the path towards sustainable energy. 

As a result, many industries have started adopting this innovation, including motorsports. Moreover, with Russia threatening to stop gas supply to many countries in Europe if not paid in roubles, there is an increasing awareness of sustainable energy that might reshape states’ positions.

This increasing realization may spring questions like how green hydrogen measures up among other energy sources, especially fossil fuels. Comparing the energy and cost of fossil fuel with hydrogen, the energy in 2.2 pounds of hydrogen gas is about the same as in 1 gallon (6.2 pounds) of gasoline. 

Hydrogen is also storable onboard a vehicle as a compressed gas to travel as far as conventional vehicles. On the other hand, wind, solar, and batteries won’t be appropriate for heavy manufacturing and long-range transport, including cargo ships, aircraft, and trucking – this is because, apart from low energy density, the weight of those sources is too heavy. 

All fingers, thus, point to the remarkable usability of green hydrogen apart from zero-emission of greenhouse gasses, exemplifying the importance for the need of its wide adoption. There is also a lower cost in producing green energy, unlike combustible fuel. This demonstrates why many industries, beyond transportation, will benefit from the decarbonization presented by green energy.

Although green hydrogen as an energy source has been around for a while, the first hydrogen fuel cell vehicle, Electrovan by General Motors, dates back to 1966. However, there are unsolved issues about licensing all innovations around green hydrogen and incentivizing all key players to pave the path for sustainability. 

Additionally, education and gamification of innovations and processes of green hydrogen are crucial in promoting the awareness of sustainable energy. Therefore, creating awareness through universities’ academia and a guild of giant energy companies around the concepts of revolutionizing green hydrogen, its storage, and the supply chain given as badges will increase the public adoption of green energy.

How did we get here: The Solution to bring green hydrogen to all sectors?

On-site production of green hydrogen, storage facility, and supply chain are still expensive – the current cost of green hydrogen is from $4-6/kg – two or three times more than grey hydrogen. This has hampered widespread acceptability in every industry, and the impact has not been much felt in developing countries. 

Consequently, the public retreated and asked, “Can we have a cost-effective and scalable means of producing green energy? How do we incentivize key players striving to make green energy adoption possible? How do we license innovations in green energy, and how do we educate both children and women about the need to go green using physical and metaverse means?

For each question, H-series (Meta Hydrogen and Green Hydrogen) answered: “YES for each question.”

…And H-series didn’t just answer YES; the brand has repeated YES many times over. The brands coming together as H-series platforms have positioned to license IP, educate and gamify green hydrogen, provide NFT badges as incentives to key players, and produce racing cars utilizing green hydrogen. 

H-series also has a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) to discuss and vote on innovative projects around green hydrogen for fundraising – a DAO for racing perks focused on a sustainable hydrogen future.

Introducing the H-Series platform

Providing innovative and disruptive services around green hydrogen is the vision of the H- series, including a hypercar and a one-make series of racing cars powered by Hydrogen World, and gamification of the racing in Roblox metaverse via Meta Hydrogen. 

Other activities include transforming the future of gamification and sustainability by involving guilds, education, and universities to educate the public on the future of hydrogen.

Segmenting the H-series platform, let’s explore the four components.

Physical hydrogen one-make GT series from Hydrogen World

Our motorsport team operates with over a half of a millennium of experience on the track. This same team that led some of the Ford, Lotus, Porsche, and Ferrari race teams are launching our Hydrogen one-make series with the first-ever Hydrogen GT Road car. 

The GT series is powered by Hydrogen electric innovative technology with a collaboration of global partners harnessing professional motorsport programs to showcase our green sustainability platform. This action will allow families, companies, communities, and countries to work in harmony with nature to power existing electricity demands, easing the strain on the grid. 

By leading the innovation and development of 100% advanced sustainable drop-in fuels, the team is playing a key role in reducing the greenhouse gas emissions of the global transport sector.  By 2023, the GT Hydrogen car will be available with the launch of a new generation of green hydrogen fuel cells. Our objective is to encourage the world to make sustainable energy on-site; this education will teach the public and private sectors what is possible at H Series. 

We plan to monetize the Hypercar project by selling and leasing the hydrogen power plant pod on-demand to a one-make series. We will also look to build a limited series street-legal road car in partnership with one of the world’s most innovative, exciting racing OEM brands, which has already been secured. 

Ian Dawson, CEO at Dawson Racing, said:

“The biggest opportunity lies in developing our IP and creating a profit-sharing model with a global mobility consultation partner, who will be able to license our technology to entities within the motorsports, aviation, marine, trucking, and locomotive industries. The primary reason we are putting all our resources into making green hydrogen the alternative transportation fuel is its capability to power fuel cells in zero-emission FCEVs, the possibilities for domestic production, the fuel cell’s high efficiency, and its fast filling time. In perspective, a fuel cell coupled with an electric motor is more efficient than an internal combustion engine running on gasoline in two to three-manifolds.” 

Meta hydrogen will be the first green hydrogen-powered Esport league alongside H-series.

To answer the lingering questions around hydrogen sustainability, there is a need to educate and gamify the innovative process of green hydrogen to promote awareness of sustainable energy. Rising to the challenge, Hydrogen World is developing numerous games in the Roblox metaverse as a form of education and entertainment to promote hydrogen to transportation, mobility, property, marine, flight, real estate, infrastructure, and other industries. We are also developing virtual racing games utilizing green energy on Roblox metaverse. The games will also incentivize twelve NFT badges earned on virtual/real race suits and other games to the game players after achieving each milestone. 

The badges are Hydrogen, Electrolysis, Electric Motors, Fuel Stacks, Solar, and SuperCapacitors. Others include Tyres, Wind turbines, Aerodynamics, Sustainable Fibers, Diesel, and Fuel Cells.

Simon Dawson, VP of marketing at Dawson Racing, concluded that:

“Motorsports has shown tremendous benefits in generating ideas and educating the populace about technology and how we approach energy sustainability. We understand this at Dawson Racing and partner with like minds to create esport games and NFTs in Roblox metaverse around green energy as digital twins of real-life racing. 

So, as we seek alternative and sustainable means to power cars that burn cleaner and more efficiently, we need to transmit this knowledge and exciting experiences to digital racing to create more awareness”.

The future of sustainability through a metaverse guild, education via academia and universities

Education on green energy will birth a guild around green energy by companies in various industries ready to visualize their sustainability concept. Blockchain-driven innovation is crucial in driving green energy solutions, representing companies’ commitment to making the world go green. Companies forming a guild will also transmit their teachings to universities, providing a curriculum to educate students on the future of sustainability. That curriculum for schools will eventually be commercialized and communicated via gaming and the metaverse.

Another way to educate the public is through Ted-like conferences and online activities. Here, we will achieve education by creating online training, virtual boot camps, and other events like Ted, but one that is powered by web3 and Metaverse. This approach will bring every internet user to participate in digital training via VR and AR — an immersive experience that will ensure physical-like participation towards sustainability.

Lian Pham, co-founder of Beyond Meta, opined: 

“Beyond developing technologies and licensing intellectual property around green hydrogen, there is a need to educate women and children on what sustainability entails and how green energy powers more than transport systems to power all household appliances. Through training, games, and inculcating sustainability into the school curriculum, we can achieve the set goals for green energy before 2030.” 

H-series DAO – path-finding the future of sustainability.  

Tesla has garnered considerable attention for its electric car and energy sustainability innovations. However, while batteries are great, batteries do not create power, and there are not enough minerals for everyone. Thus, we need to expand our scope and develop research on power infrastructure focusing on green hydrogen. 

H+DAO is an open cooperative that allows everyone to participate in acquiring, supporting, and financing new hydrogen research data and development for the betterment of humanity.

Hydrogen World, LTD PTE will directly hold legal IP rights and license innovative solutions to projects within Hydrogen DAO in partnership with other members that want to invest in the upside of the royalties earned from the IP. 

H+DAO aims to support builders of the decentralized hydrogen economy – an open platform for proposals voted upon by NFT membership holders. Furthermore, based on the accumulated research, the DAO votes on the best hydrogen companies in each vertical, with the winners gifted a grant with certain members that match funds for a larger grant size. 

DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations) are digital structures giving possibilities for like minds to collaborate and coordinate on a global scale safely. Depending on members’ level of involvement, decisions are governed by members writing proposals and voting to ensure everyone in the organization has a voice. As a result, H+DAO is building a global community of sustainability scientists and enthusiasts discovering and funding the most promising research.

Joshua Johnson, The founder of Beyond Meta, said:

“We are collectively funding and advancing research and innovation openly and democratically. Engage leaders with us at the convergence of racing, sustainability, and metaverse; how does your brand want to engage together in this space? We are open to customizing programs based on your needs. However, we believe if you are willing to put in effort and resources to make a difference, we must do our part to help you to reach your ESG goals.”

Finally, H-series is a bold step for producing the first hypercar utilizing green hydrogen for eSport, licensing IP, gamifying, and forming a guild for green energy sustainability.
