Our technology.
Bhyo hydrogen technology is a process for the production of organic hydrogen from locally produced biogenic residues in an efficient, modular process capable of meeting base load requirements.
What does organic hydrogen mean?
"Organic hydrogen" is a term we have developed. It refers to hydrogen that is produced from biomass and has a CO2-negative balance. The concept thus goes beyond the existing color theory for hydrogen - green, blue, grey, etc. - by symbolizing an even more environmentally friendly way of producing hydrogen.
What does biogenic waste mean?
This is any biomass that is a by-product of natural processes
This includes:
- Sewage sludge
- Organic waste
- Harvest residues
- Fermentation residues
- Green waste
High-temperature gasification process.
The high-temperature gasification process is a special conversion process. In this process, biomass is broken down into its components in a heated sand bed. This process leads to the production of pure synthesis gas.
Hybrid process.
A patent was granted for the development of a hybrid process that combines the advantages of autothermal and allothermal gasification and avoids their disadvantages. Due to this innovative combination, the process was given the name bhyo hydrogen technology.
For municipalities with just under 100,000 inhabitants
Upscale possible
One plant (BH100) produces 800 tons of hydrogen per year, which is enough for:
5,000 cars
350 trucks
25 moves
Additional added value
(in addition to hydrogen):
CO2
District heating
Phosphate
The modular design of the core technology makes it flexibly adaptable to:
Biomass supply
Hydrogen demand
Our technology.
The bhyo plant is an innovative model designed to recover valuable resources from biogenic residues. Using our advanced technology, biomass is first processed into pellets in a drying process. These pellets are then used as feedstock in our plant to produce hydrogen, CO2, phosphate and heat through thermo-chemical conversion.

Procedure.
The procedure in our plant is a continuous process that converts biogenic residues into sustainable energy. The biomass goes through several steps: first it is processed into pellets by drying, then it is fed into the plant, where the pellets are broken down into their components - hydrogen, CO2, phosphate and usable waste heat.
