Research into the production and storage of green hydrogen from organic wastes
In Spain, some 500,000 tonnes of hydrogen are consumed annually as an industrial raw material in different sectors. Most of this hydrogen comes from the reforming of natural gas, generating a large environmental impact due to the CO2 emissions it emits.
In this context, the BioPhoto project, financed by Next Generation funds from the European Union and the Institute for Energy Diversification and Saving (IDAE), will investigate the production, storage and purification of green hydrogen from organic waste by means of biological processes and photocatalysis. The solution proposed by this project will be applied in those sectors that generate liquid or solid waste with a high organic load, and could be used as an alternative fuel for public transport, among other uses.
