Bedford County to list properties on bidding website
BEDFORD, Pa. (WTAJ) — Bedford County residents will soon be able to buy real estate online.
The county commissioners approved an agreement to allow the Sheriff's office to post properties on a website called 'Bid4Assets'. Bidders can access these sales from across the country and have access to place bids on state and county properties.
'When we have a sheriff's sale, we usually have a sale, and we will advertise it, and then we'll have some type of sheriff sale here [at the courthouse],' Bedford County Sheriff Wayne Emerick said. 'But now with Bid4Assets, the group pretty much goes online, and they go nationwide. People in D.C. or Chicago or wherever can view this and bid on a property.'

The real estate posted online will have a bidding price. If the sale goes over the selling price, the county will get poundage back, which is the additional payment over the original selling price.
The money going back into the county can help save taxpayers money.
'It broadens more people with the bid. So the chance of making more of a poundage for the taxpayers for their, ability to, save taxes that way because they're getting more money back for the sale,' Emerick said.
The county looks to set up its website to post properties in July.

NewHydrogen's Plan to Win the Green Hydrogen Race
SANTA CLARITA, Calif., June 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NewHydrogen, Inc. (OTCQB: NEWH), developer of ThermoLoop™, a technology that uses water and heat to produce the world's cheapest green hydrogen, today described its plan to replace expensive electrolyzers and win the renewable hydrogen race. NewHydrogen CEO Steve Hill said, 'Today, using electrolyzers is the only commercially available way to split water to produce renewable hydrogen. Electrolyzers have dominated the headlines, but their reign may be coming to an end. The time has come to kill electrolyzers!' 'The renewable hydrogen industry's heavy bet on electrolysis is holding it back,' Mr. Hill continued. 'Why? Because electrolyzers are old tech—expensive, inefficient, and fundamentally flawed. These 200-year-old systems still depend on large amounts of electricity and face major cost and scaling challenges. Despite massive investment, they've struggled to deliver the cost reductions and reliability needed to help unlock the global hydrogen economy.' ThermoLoop is being developed to change that. Instead of electricity, ThermoLoop can use any source of heat to split water into hydrogen and oxygen, making it a fundamentally different, and a more promising approach. By addressing key limitations that have dogged electrolyzers for decades, ThermoLoop has the potential to leapfrog the current state of the art and win the green hydrogen race. At the heart of ThermoLoop is its novel materials and novel reactions that keep the process running at nearly the same temperature—eliminating the energy losses of traditional thermochemical heating and cooling cycles. The Company believes this can overcome a long-standing thermochemical challenge: how to scale without wasting energy. This approach enables continuous, 24/7 hydrogen production wherever there's heat and water. Even when using large industrial heaters powered by electricity, ThermoLoop's theoretical heat-based thermodynamic efficiency suggests it can outperform electrolyzers on a cost-per-kilogram basis. That can make ThermoLoop technology not only an alternative, but a direct threat to the electrolysis-first strategy dominating today's hydrogen buildout. Mr. Hill concluded, 'Relying on inefficient electrolyzer technology won't get us to the projected $12 trillion hydrogen economy. Other horses in the race that rely on massive tracts of land and part-time sunlight won't get us there either. In my opinion, it's ThermoLoop or bust. We believe ThermoLoop can offer a smarter path forward and has the potential to be the key to finally delivering on green hydrogen's global promise.'

NewHydrogen is developing ThermoLoop™ – a breakthrough technology that uses water and heat to produce the world's lowest cost green hydrogen. Hydrogen is the cleanest and most abundant element in the universe, and we can't live without it. Hydrogen is the key ingredient in making fertilizers needed to grow food for the world. It is also used for transportation, refining oil and making steel, glass, pharmaceuticals and more. Nearly all the hydrogen today is made from hydrocarbons like coal, oil, and natural gas, which are dirty and limited resources. Water, on the other hand, is an infinite and renewable worldwide resource. Currently, the most common method of making green hydrogen is to split water into oxygen and hydrogen with an electrolyzer using green electricity produced from solar or wind. However, green electricity is and always will be very expensive. It currently accounts for 73% of the cost of green hydrogen. By using heat directly, we can skip the expensive process of making electricity and fundamentally lower the cost of green hydrogen. Inexpensive heat can be obtained from concentrated solar, geothermal, nuclear reactors and industrial waste heat for use in our novel low-cost thermochemical water splitting process. Working with a world class research team at UC Santa Barbara, our goal is to help usher in the green hydrogen economy that Goldman Sachs estimated to have a future market value of $12 trillion.
