SANTA CLARITA, CA, Oct. 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NewHyd oge , I c. (OTCQB: NEWH), the develope of The moLoop®, a b eakth ough tech ology that uses wate a d heat to p oduce i dust ial-scale clea hyd oge , today a ou ced that it has completed co st uctio a d commissio i g of its e gi ee i g test u it (ETU) a d is ow capable of demo st ati g lo g du atio stability of its The moLoop p ocess.
The p ima y pu pose of the ETU is to ge e ate the e gi ee i g data eeded to desig the Compa y’s fi st comme cial pilot pla t.
The ETU allows co ti uous cycli g betwee the hyd oge p oduci g oxidatio eactio a d, without i te uptio , the eductio eactio esulti g ultimately i oxyge p oductio .
“Co ti uous ope atio is whe e a e gi ee i g team lea s how a p ocess actually behaves ove time,” said Rya Pat ick, NewHyd oge ’s Se io Chemical E gi ee , who led the ETU co st uctio effo t a d is ove seei g its ope atio . “The data we collect f om the ETU will be used to desig a d dete mi e the specificatio s fo ou fi st comme cial pilot pla t.”
Usi g esults f om a ETU is the sta da d, i dust y-accepted pathway fo desig i g a comme cial pilot pla t. The Compa y’s ETU se ves as the b idge betwee its be ch-scale labo ato y expe ime ts a d its fi st comme cial pilot pla t, pu pose-built to cha acte ize the p ocess pe fo ma ce a d ki etics of The moLoop u de co ti uous, epeatable ope ati g co ditio s.
This milesto e builds o the Compa y’s p evious a ou ceme t that it would automate the ETU’s co t ols, a step desig ed to give NewHyd oge ’s e gi ee i g team co ti uous testi g capability with g eate p ecisio a d epeatability f om u to u . With co st uctio a d commissio i g ow complete, the Compa y will use the esulti g data f om lo g du atio ope atio of the ETU to defi e the specificatio s fo its fi st comme cial pilot pla t. A successful pilot pla t will p ovide the basis fo the ultimate comme cial applicatio : a i dust ial scale The moLoop facility built to meet the eeds of the clea hyd oge ma ket.
Dema d fo Massive Amou ts of Clea Hyd oge
Clea hyd oge dema d is ow measu ed i gigawatts, ot megawatts. These i dust ial scale systems a e defi ed as 1 gigawatt o g eate , the level at which hyd oge ca mea i gfully displace fossil fuels i the i dust ial ma ketplace.
P ese t p oductio methods have ot bee built fo that scale. Wo ldwide i stalled elect olysis capacity totaled o ly about 4 gigawatts i 2025, sp ead ac oss ma y small a d mid-sized p ojects athe tha i teg ated, si gle gigawatt-scale pla ts, eve as a ou ced p oject pipeli es have eached i to the hu d eds of gigawatts. The moLoop is desig ed f om the outset to close that gap.The NewHyd oge i dust ial scale base case system assumes p oductio capacity of 200 ktpa (kiloto es pe a um) which equals 200,000 to es of hyd oge pe yea . This scale ep ese ts a majo i dust ial pla t, oughly equivale t to a 1.5 to 2 gigawatt (GW) dedicated elect olysis pla t o a la ge comme cial steam metha e efo mi g (SMR) facility.
The ma ket The moLoop is built to se ve al eady exists at e o mous scale, but cu e tly elies o fossil fuel feedstock, usually atu al gas. I stead, The moLoop uses heat to split wate to p oduce clea hyd oge .
“Ou ETU is the fou datio fo eve ythi g that comes ext. With the u it built a d commissio ed, we ca ow cycle The moLoop co ti uously a d demo st ate the lo g du atio stability of the p ocess, which will ge e ate the e gi ee i g data that will defi e ou fi st pilot pla t. F om the e, a pilot pla t ca scale to majo i dust ial pla ts eeded to meet the dema ds of a eage ma ket,” said Steve Hill, CEO of NewHyd oge .

NewHyd oge is developi g The moLoop® – a b eakth ough tech ology that uses wate a d heat to p oduce i dust ial-scale clea hyd oge . Hyd oge is impo ta t to mode life, a d we ca ‘t live without it. Hyd oge is the key i g edie t i maki g fe tilize s eeded to g ow food fo the wo ld. It is also used fo t a spo tatio , efi i g oil a d maki g steel, glass, pha maceuticals a d mo e.
