Through the use of their thermochemical waste conversion method, Ways2H has announced that they have been able to produce 110kg of hydrogen from one tonne of solid waste.

It has been made clear that the method works through extracting hydrogen whilst simultaneously isolating carbon for sequestration. The result of this, is the creation of ‘carbon-negative hydrogen’ which can be sold at prices that become competitive with gasoline.

Performing this process has the potential to offer a potential and viable pathway for municipalities as well as industries to manage waste in a sustainable way. Plus, this process allows the companies to manage waste whilst simultaneously creating clean energy.

Now that a successful proof of concept has been achieved, Ways2H, the US-based company, will proceed with entering its commercialisation phase. In doing this, the company will be able to work towards accomplishing their aim of pursuing and expanding partnerships and project, all across the globe.

The Clean Energy Enterprises subsidiary spoke about the results from the process, stating that a “net-negative carbon footprint that can ready up to 30kg CO2 equivalent per kg hydrogen produced.”

CEO of Clean Energy Enterprises, Jean-Louis Kindler, commented, “This milestone marks a significant leap forward in our mission to produce hydrogen in an environmentally responsible way. By transforming waste into a valuable energy resource, we are not only addressing the urgent issue of waste management but also contributing to a cleaner, greener planet and a more sustainable clean energy market.”
