Tulsa company cuts cost of green hydrogen fuel production

A Tulsa startup says it has cut the cost of producing green hydrogen by more than 50% — and Tulsa company cutting cost of green hydrogen fuel production believes this tech breakthrough could reshape renewable fuel economics.

Tobe Energy, led by 31–year–old Colby DeWeese, replaces the decades-old incandescent electrolysis process with LED based molecular splitting.

This new LED system splits hydrogen out of water at half the cost of older methods — making clean hydrogen far more viable as a scalable renewable energy fuel.

new tech advantage

LED platforms run significantly cooler, use far less power, and dramatically reduce waste heat. The combination lowers energy draw — which historically made hydrogen expensive compared to other fuels.

Tulsa in the innovation lane

Oklahoma continues emerging as a renewable innovation testing ground — first with geothermal, then wind, then CCUS pilot models, and now hydrogen enters the same competitive economic lane.

national market implications

If this LED hydrogen model holds cost reduction across scaled commercial output — Oklahoma could be positioned inside national hydrogen manufacturing clusters and future federal hydrogen hub funding competitions.
