The GH2 project will leverage solar energy-driven technologies to produce green H2 at a cost comparable to fossil-derived H2
Our Horizon Europe and Innovate UK-funded project aims to harvest solar energy and biomass to drive a chemical reaction that will simultaneously produce GH2 and valuable C2+ chemicals
Sustainable Ambition
Hydrogen production is responsible for 2% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. Today, 96% of H2 producers use fossil fuels to split water into its two constituent parts, hydrogen and oxygen, so that the valuable gas can be extracted.
Electrolysis provides an alternative means of producing hydrogen but the costs associated with using electricity to produce H2 remain stubbornly high.
Consequently, electrolysis only generates 4% of the world's hydrogen production, one-quarter of which is produced using renewable energy.
The GH2 project seeks to lower the costs of electrolysis by harnessing solar energy rather than electricity to simultaneously produce green hydrogen and valuable chemicals.
Our ambition is to construct a scalable means of producing green hydrogen that can be leveraged by multiple industries and sectors.
