Waste Biomass to Renewable Hydrogen
The production of renewable hydrogen from pre-conditioned biomass is an important source of energy , and a key component of Australia ’ s future hydrogen generation and export . It is an economically viable and environmentally conscious energy solution with net zero carbon dioxide ( CO2 ) emissions . |
Competitive Advantage • Pre-conditioned biomass ( from raw biomass stream ) can be obtained at a very low cost
• Electrocatalytic hydrogen extraction from preconditioned biomass is generally easier than water electrolysis
• It is selective , delivers net zero CO2 emissions , and can produce value-added organic products
Impact • Competitive energy production by utilising waste to produce renewable hydrogen
• Alleviate global warming via carbon footprint reduction
• Improved resource recovery and utilisation of new materials
