This whitepaper introduces Tobe Energy's isothermal electrolysis architecture—a fundamentally different approach to water splitting that achieves >92% system efficiency while eliminating exotic materials. It covers measured performance, core architecture, reliability design, and validation status based on 1,000+ hours of prototype testing.

This whitepaper presents a data-driven comparison of electrolyzer technologies for green hydrogen production. Using transparent assumptions (8% WACC, 90% capacity factor, 20-year project life), the analysis shows Tobe's isothermal electrolysis delivers the lowest levelized cost of hydrogen across all electricity price scenarios—with a 40-55% advantage over incumbent technologies.

This deployment handbook provides everything needed to take a Tobe electrolyzer project from site selection through permitting, construction, and 45V tax credit compliance. It includes detailed requirements for the T-25, T-125, and T-2500 systems, plus practical checklists and appendices for project teams to reference throughout development.

This whitepaper introduces the fundamental principles behind Tobe Energy's isothermal electrolysis technology. We demonstrate how maintaining constant temperature throughout the water-splitting reaction eliminates thermodynamic losses that have historically limited electrolyzer efficiency to 70-80%. Our approach achieves 95%+ efficiency while operating at near-ambient temperatures.

Current PEM electrolyzers rely heavily on platinum group metals (PGMs) for catalysis, creating cost barriers and supply chain vulnerabilities. This paper describes Tobe Energy's approach to achieving high-performance electrolysis using only abundant, industrial-grade materials.

This paper presents a detailed economic analysis of hydrogen production using Tobe Energy's technology compared to conventional electrolysis and steam methane reforming (SMR). We demonstrate a pathway to green hydrogen at $1/kg— competitive with fossil-derived hydrogen without subsidies.
