The world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.

The solution, if it has sufficient scalability, should lower the electricity price for residents of Minas Gerais and perhaps even for the entire country.
