According to foreign media reports, Joi Scientific has signed a licensing agreement for the production of Hydrogen 2.0™ technology with MarineMax, the world’s largest yacht and marine retailer. This license agreement grants MarineMax the exclusive right to develop, manufacture, and sell its propulsion and auxiliary marine power systems. This system can use Joi Scientific’s Hydrogen 2.0™ technology to supply hydrogen extracted from seawater to the global marine industry. MarineMax and Joi Scientific will jointly develop solutions to introduce hydrogen energy into the shipbuilding industry. Hydrogen 2.0™ is the world’s first hydrogen production process that extracts hydrogen directly from untreated seawater on demand at the time of use. Hydrogen 2.0™ technology will enable MarineMax to use ships equipped with hydrogen engines, hybrid engines, or fuel cell engines. In addition to powering the ship’s propulsion system, this hydrogen can also be used to supply energy for various applications on board, including lighting, heating, cooling, and as a backup power source for passenger cabin services. Joi Scientific’s innovative Hydrogen 2.0™ technology offers three advantages to the shipbuilding industry: it uses seawater as the primary fuel source, which is readily available. It stems from a sustainable, safe, and reliable conversion process; it involves no combustion of hydrocarbons, produces no carbon emissions, and generates no noise when used with fuel cells. It also boasts a high degree of versatility, allowing it to be used from as an auxiliary power source for anchored ships to powering the main propulsion systems of recreational and commercial yachts.

There is one question: what provides the energy for his method of producing hydrogen? Is hydrogen used only for energy storage?
This is the first time I’m hearing about it; is there a general outline of the process?
