Applications of the
New Artificial Leaf (NAL)

NAL enables the manufacturing industry to lower operating costs and reduce its carbon footprint, maximizing energy and water efficiency. It is a solution to reduce carbon emissions and improve water management within production plants.

NAL transforms transport infrastructures such as highways, railways, and service areas into green hydrogen production hubs, reducing procurement costs, accelerating the spread of hydrogen, promoting sustainable mobility, and reducing the need for and costs of transporting and storing hydrogen.

NAL optimizes the use of existing energy and water infrastructures (e.g., pipelines and aqueducts), using sun-exposed areas to produce clean energy and water directly at the sites of use, optimizing the management of energy and water resources, improving the energy profile, and optimizing operational efficiency.

The NAL is perfectly suited to agrivoltaic and hydroponic agriculture. By recycling wastewater for irrigation and generating energy for agricultural machinery and hydroponic plants, NAL supports more sustainable and efficient cultivation, while reducing operating costs and environmental impact.

In the maritime sector, NAL makes it possible to produce green hydrogen directly from seawater, simplifying maritime logistics and reducing the costs associated with hydrogen production and transport. This technology opens new prospects for the sustainable supply of boats and the self-sufficiency of port infrastructures.

Sectors such as steel, cement and glass, known for their reliance on fossil coal to power their thermal processes, and for the high demand for technical water, find in NAL an opportunity to accelerate the transition to net zero emissions through the local production of green hydrogen, without having to dismantle the current infrastructure and benefiting from reduced costs and environmental impact thanks to wastewater recycling with a reduced supply of technical water.

NAL revolutionizes water treatment, offering a sustainable solution that combines purification and energy production. Using the residual heat of the solar panel, NAL purifies wastewater and desalinates seawater, reducing supply and disposal costs. NAL can help decarbonize the desalination sector by supporting or replacing reverse osmosis plants. In addition, this system not only makes the water treatment process energy-positive and environmentally low-impact but also allows industries to generate green hydrogen directly on site, making the use of spaces for the management of water and energy resources even more efficient.

In the B2C sector, NAL makes it possible to minimize dependence on non-renewable energy sources, transforming homes and buildings into self-sufficient energy units. For homes, NAL offers a complete solution for energy self-sufficiency. This technology allows households to generate electricity, produce hydrogen for heating, cooling, and power generation and purify water. Homes thus become energy independent and more sustainable, with a positive long-term impact on costs and the environment.

In the long term, NAL enables the creation of self-sufficient energy communities, allowing groups of homes and small communities to produce and exchange energy and clean water. This technology supports long-term sustainability, ensuring energy autonomy based on green hydrogen and purified water.

Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing the digital world, leading to an exponential growth in demand for computing power and, consequently, energy consumption in data centers. In this scenario, the New Artificial Leaf (NAL) offers an innovative and sustainable solution to address the energy and water challenges faced by these infrastructures. Thanks to its ability to generate solar power, purify water and produce green hydrogen on-site, NAL can support data centers with a renewable and efficient energy source, reducing environmental impact and operating costs. Integrating NAL into data centers not only ensures a more resilient and decentralized energy supply but also contributes to the sustainability of the entire digital ecosystem at a time when AI is redefining the future.
