Revolutionary Steel Could Slash Hydrogen Costs | Science News

from Science News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Scientists have engineered a revolutionary stainless steel, SS-H2, that outperforms titanium in seawater corrosion resistance — slashing green hydrogen production costs by up to 40 times. Developed over six years at the University of Hong Kong, this “Super Steel” forms an unexpected protective layer, defying old assumptions about manganese. Already patented and scaled with factory-produced wire, SS-H2 could make clean fuel from ocean water and renewables vastly more affordable — a game-changing leap for global sustainability.
