New cheap clean energy platform to help tackle energy crisis

Author: Irish Tech News April 24, 2026 Duration: 9:24
KINETIC7 the disruptive tech company – founded by Australian entrepreneur and philanthropist Rick Parish – has today announced that it has developed a cheap clean energy platform and delivery solution to help tackle the global energy crisis. It comes at a time when energy prices are hitting unprecedented levels and impacting both the UK and Irish business and domestic energy markets.
It comes at a time when the British and Irish governments are under increasing pressure to do more to help consumers with their rising energy and fuel costs. Prime Minister Keir Starmer recently announced emergency support measures for UK households worst hit by the energy crisis. The £57M package of targeted measures have been introduced to those 'off grid' households not covered by the energy fuel cap and not served by legacy mains gas utility companies.Over 4 million households across the UK currently using LPG and oil have seen the cost of heating their homes rise by 80% in just one week! The Prime Minister has also promised legal action against energy firms 'exploiting' the crisis, while the competition and markets authority (CMA) are now investigating heating oil suppliers over 'blatant profiteering' from the Iran war.
Clean energy platform to tackle energy crisis
While the world debates and procrastinates on how to produce and use sustainable hydrogen gas safely, Kinetic7 has achieved a global breakthrough in developing and safely producing hydrogen gas on demand. It comes at a time of growing global concern over the short and medium-term security and supply of gas energy in the UK, Ireland and across Europe. Rapidly increasing costs and scarcity of supply have been directly impacted by recent geopolitical issues with Russia and Ukraine and the current war between the US, Israel and Iran.
The Abu Dhabi based company – with offices in the UK, Australia, Italy and the US – has pioneered a unique multi-patented delivery mechanism and several portable delivery platforms that have safely harnessed the production and delivery of hydrogen gas on demand (HOD). The innovation dispenses with the need to capture and store hydrogen gas, which has traditionally been dangerous and is extremely expensive to build infrastructure and storage. The Kinetic7 technology produces hydrogen (HHO) gas on demand as and when needed with zero emissions, making it safe, clean, affordable energy that is accessible to everyone, everywhere and even in the remotest of locations.
Commenting on the breakthrough Kinetic7 Chairman and founder Rick Parish said
"The current energy crisis has highlighted once again how vulnerable the UK, Irish and European energy supplies are and the steps that need to be taken to ensure long term energy security is preserved at all costs. We have become far too reliant on legacy gas providers oil and LPG suppliers who control the supply and price of energy. The cost of energy has also risen steeply over the last few years amidst market volatility and geopolitical instability. Hydrogen on demand is the future for safe, clean and affordable energy that can be rolled out at speed.
Hydrogen gas has existed since the very start of evolution, but understanding how we can create, capture and store hydrogen gas safely has eluded even the greatest of minds. When we were innovating Kinetic 7, we asked ourselves what if we didn't need to store hydrogen gas but instead could create it on demand. Today we have managed to harness the method of creating, producing and delivering hydrogen gas safely, on demand, without the need for storage. This circumnavigates the process of storing hydrogen gas and means that our Kinetic 7 gas is 100% safe and can be created as and when it is needed and most importantly its 100% carbon free."
Originally the technology was conceived as a portable cooking stove for humanitarian use in developing nations. Kinetic7 has designed and produced the Tribe? and Nomad? stoves which are currently in production and will be ready to lau...
