Nets EcoEnergy, a division of NetsEco Group of Companies, in collaboration with UCSI University Engineering, has achieved a major breakthrough in green hydrogen production through ultrasound-enhanced electrolysis. This cutting-edge innovation significantly enhances hydrogen production efficiency and cost-effectiveness, marking a key milestone in scaling up Malaysia’s hydrogen economy and driving industrial decarbonization.
As a total sustainability solutions provider, NetsEco Group integrates clean energy innovation, carbon-neutral materials, and circular economy strategies to help businesses transition to a low-carbon economy while achieving their ESG and net-zero goals.
Our study, Green Hydrogen Production Enhancement by Incorporating Ultrasound Technology in Alkaline Water Electrolysis, conducted by Wenya Wong, Yu Shem Goh, Kah Hou Teng, Kiat Moon Lee, Wah Yen Tey, Leong Sim Teh, and Yeah Hui Loh, explores how ultrasound technology can significantly improve hydrogen production efficiency. Funded by the Fundamental Research Grant Scheme (FRGS) and presented at SEGT 2024, this research supports Malaysia’s Hydrogen Economy Roadmap (HETR), reinforcing the country’s position as a regional clean hydrogen leader, with a projected RM 577 billion cumulative investment by 2050.
Revolutionizing Green Hydrogen with Ultrasound Technology
Green hydrogen is a critical enabler of net-zero ambitions, yet high production costs and inefficiencies have hindered its widespread adoption. Nets EcoEnergy’s breakthrough technology addresses these challenges by delivering:
-
✅ 149% increase in hydrogen production efficiency → Maximizing hydrogen output per unit of energy.
-
✅ 21.66% reduction in energy consumption → Cutting electricity costs and improving financial viability.
By optimizing the electrolysis process, ultrasound-enhanced electrolysis lowers energy requirements, improves hydrogen yield, and brings green hydrogen costs closer to fossil fuel parity.

Driving Malaysia’s Hydrogen Economy & Net-Zero Goals
Malaysia currently produces ~1 million tons of hydrogen annually, primarily from natural gas-based grey hydrogen. While Sarawak leads in green hydrogen production, it remains limited to pilot projects (130 kg/day). The high cost of electrolysis (USD 4–6 or RM 18–27/kg) has been a significant barrier to scaling up production for local use and exports.
By improving electrolysis efficiency and reducing production costs, Nets EcoEnergy’s innovation directly supports Malaysia’s roadmap targets of:
📌 4.59 million tons of hydrogen by 2040
📌 10.33 million tons by 2050
This advancement strengthens Malaysia’s hydrogen export potential to Japan, Korea, and Singapore, positioning the country as a regional hub for clean hydrogen.
“Hydrogen is key to industrial decarbonization, but for large-scale adoption, we must reduce costs and improve efficiency. Our breakthrough in ultrasound-enhanced electrolysis offers a real-world, commercially viable solution to accelerate the clean energy transition,” said Mr. Teh Leong Sim, Managing Director of NetsEco Group.
Bringing Clean Hydrogen to Industry
With global hydrogen demand projected to exceed 200 million tons annually by 2050, businesses that invest in cost-efficient hydrogen technologies today will gain a competitive edge in the clean energy transition.
At NetsEco Group, we believe green hydrogen is a game-changer for businesses looking to reduce carbon emissions, optimize resource efficiency, and future-proof operations. By funding research that enhances hydrogen production efficiency, we provide comprehensive sustainability solutions that support businesses in transitioning to a low-carbon, circular economy.
