Geo NetZero Hydrogen-Production Solutions

Innovation is bringing us new hope

Wild Hydrogen, a UK-based company, has developed a patented technology called Rising Pressure Reformer (RiPR) to produce carbon-negative hydrogen and bio-methane. This innovative process transforms wet biogenic materials, such as agricultural residues and waste streams, into four commercially viable products: biomethane, hydrogen, captured carbon dioxide, and biochar. By capturing and storing the carbon dioxide that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere, Wild Hydrogen's technology ensures that the hydrogen produced has a negative carbon footprint, making it a climate-positive solution.

The RiPR technology operates by gasifying biogenic materials using supercritical water gasification (SCWG), which requires significantly less electricity compared to traditional electrolysis methods. This process not only produces high-quality syngas but also allows for the separation and capture of carbon dioxide, resulting in carbon-negative hydrogen. The flexibility of the RiPR system to handle a wide range of feedstocks, including wet materials, enhances its scalability and cost-effectiveness, making it a viable alternative to conventional hydrogen production methods.

Wild Hydrogen's carbon-negative hydrogen production aligns with global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and transition to sustainable energy sources. By providing a method to produce clean hydrogen while actively removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, the company contributes to the decarbonization of various industries, including transportation, energy, and manufacturing. This technology represents a significant step towards achieving net-zero emissions and promoting a circular economy where waste materials are repurposed into valuable resources.
