Scaling.
A bh100 system is designed for a municipality or a group of municipalities with a population of just under 100,000, depending on the amount of biomass. The modular system design can be flexibly tailored to the local input flows.

100 kg/h
The plant is designed to produce 100 kg of hydrogen per hour. This can be used to power almost 5,000 cars for a whole year, for example, or to sustainably operate a local public transport fleet.

2,000 kg/h
By storing and converting CO₂, our plant can also serve as a carbon sink. Each plant removes enough CO₂ from the atmosphere to offset the carbon footprint of almost 2,000 Germans.
District heating

[Quantity]
The heat generated in the process can also be used to either be fed into a district heating network or to dry the biomass on site for further processing.
Phosphate

28 kg/h
In future, phosphate is also to be recovered from the ash produced, which can be used as a fertilizer for farmers or as a raw material in the pharmaceutical industry, for example.

Nature and climate protection.
Every bhyo plant can make a contribution to climate protection by storing and converting CO₂. One plant stores as much CO₂ per year as the equivalent of 250 hectares of forest, without promoting the deforestation of trees. By using local, biogenic residues, bhyo can therefore help to protect forests from deforestation for the energy industry of the future.

Our test facility.
Our joint project supports the German government's climate targets up to 2045 by researching decentralized hydrogen production from biogenic residues with our bhyo hydrogen technology.
Our technology.
Our patented and proven bhyo hydrogen technology is an innovative process that is the cornerstone of our company. While maintaining the advantages of existing technologies and avoiding disadvantages, it allows the resource-saving and competitive production of hydrogen from a variety of difficult-to-utilize biogenic residues. By storing and converting CO₂, our process can be used as a Carbon sink serve.

Development to date.
bhyo can look back on many years of expertise and over 15 years of development work in cooperation with renowned industrial partners. The development of our technology was tested in a demonstration plant in over 1,500 operating hours using numerous biomasses. But we have also made significant progress in recent years: the existing test plant has been expanded to include essential components for gas purification and CO₂ separation and is scheduled to go back into operation in 2025. In addition, preparations for the first commercial-scale plant are already underway. Our development to date is the basis for the future, in which we will continue to optimize our plants and prepare them for broader market availability.
