Green Hydrogen Generation from Wastewater

Patent

A technology is available that allows the production of green hydrogen from wastewater using low-cost photoelectrochemical processes. Unlike conventional systems, the water used for hydrogen production does not require pretreatment. Instead, the wastewater is treated with oxidizing agents, which convert the water into hydrogen and oxygen. The water then passes through a device where oxidation-reduction reactions take place, converting it into gas. The gases are then separated by another device.

The problem to be solved is about the production of H2 at low cost from wastewater.

Production costs are at least 30% lower than conventional methods. Demonstration units are available. It can be easily scaled.

Prototype: A working model, either on scale or in a laboratory.
