MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611001748 A) filed by UPES, Dehradun, Uttarakhand, on Jan. 7, for 'plasma-assisted geothermal hydrogen generation system.'
Inventor(s) include Udbhav Agarwal; and Dr Annapurna Boruah.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 13, under issue no. 07/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses a plasma-assisted geothermal hydrogen generation system, comprising a geothermal steam supply unit (102) to produce steam from geothermal fluid; a plasma reactor (104) fluidly to provide controlled environment where geothermal steam interacts with plasma to dissociate water molecules; at least one plasma generation assembly (106) to generate non-thermal plasma within the plasma reactor (104) for dissociating water molecules in the steam into hydrogen and oxygen species; a magnetic field assembly (108) to induce cross-field species separation within the plasma reactor (104), to physically separates hydrogen-rich and oxygen-rich species within the plasma zone; an oxygen scavenger and regeneration assembly (110) to prevents hydrogen-oxygen recombination and enables safe oxygen handling; a gas separation unit (112) to separate hydrogen from oxygen-containing products; a hydrogen collection unit (114) to safely store produced hydrogen; and a control unit (116) to optimize system performance using real-time geothermal feedback."
