Proton has the least expensive method for producing pure hydrogen, and is the most environmentally friendly and least expensive method of hydrogen production.
The plan is to produce net hydrogen from former offshore oil assets in the UK, while removing significant amounts of carbon dioxide as solid carbons within the same systems.
In 2021, the founders of CHUK invested C$3.7 million in Proton to obtain a license to produce 20 tons per day for use in the UK and Ireland. The expansion announced today is 250 times larger, giving a total implied license value of C$925 million for 5,000 tons per day. The terms include 45% of the ownership of CHUK that will go to Proton, which will provide further technical support and oversight of governance for the CHUK team. Two of CHUK’s founders will also join Proton’s board of directors.
