BioHydrogen

Hydrogen is undoubtedly set to become a major energy vector of the future. But being produced largely from fossil natural gas, the environmental credentials of the majority of the hydrogen produced today do not match with the ambition and imperative of net-zero and carbon neutral energy production.

Electrolysis using surplus renewable energy from wind or solar to split water is enjoying the limelight and a number of high-profile projects are underway to scale up the production of green hydrogen.

But electrolysis alone will not suffice. So stepping into the spotlight today is also biohydrogen … green, carbon neutral hydrogen produced from a range of biomass feedstocks via a number of different technology pathways, all sharing a number of key advantages for the rapid a scaled deployment of green hydrogen production, for example, local, renewable feedstocks, local production - local distribution, local employment - local economy, costly “chicken and egg” major infrastructure decisions vs. local infrastructure for local provision, year round production decisions etc.
