Hydrogen Production Technologies Catalogue
Hydrogen can be produced by renewable energy sources (biomass, solar, wind, etc.). There is a wide variety of technological processes that can be used (chemical, biological, electrolytic, photolytic, thermochemical, etc.). Each technology has a degree of development and offers different opportunities and benefits.
The main objective is to research and develop technologies for low-cost and highly efficient hydrogen production from various renewable sources:
- Electrolysis or photoelectrolysis of water using renewable energy
- Gasification/Pyrolysis of biomass or organic waste (agricultural, urban or industrial)
- Electrochemical and thermochemical decomposition of hydrogen-bearing compounds such as: ammonia, methanol, formic acid and others; and the reforming of methanol, methane, ammonia, bioethanol, biomethane and others.
