Breakthrough in Renewable Hydrogen: World's First Plant Producing 'Super Green' Hydrogen from Biomass
Key Ideas
- Haffner Energy's Marolles site in France has commissioned the world's first plant to produce hydrogen from solid biomass, offering 'super green' hydrogen by the second half of 2025.
- The unique thermochemical process significantly reduces green hydrogen costs, providing an economically competitive solution with a negative carbon footprint.
- The production model at Marolles has a capacity of 15 kg of hydrogen per hour, contributing to decarbonizing mobility and industry and avoiding 2,400 metric tons of CO₂ per year.
- Haffner Energy's biomass thermolysis technology is set to disrupt the renewable hydrogen market, offering advantages like economical competitiveness, low-cost biomass energy, and flexibility in biomass sourcing.
In a significant development, the world's first plant producing hydrogen from solid biomass has been commissioned at the Marolles site in Vitry-le-François, France. Haffner Energy's proprietary solid biomass thermolysis technology allows for the production of 'super green' hydrogen at a much lower cost than conventional methods, offering a negative carbon footprint. The production capacity of the site is 15 kg of hydrogen per hour, with plans to serve transportation and industrial markets starting in the second half of 2025. The technology is lauded for its economically competitive nature, independence from the electrical grid, and flexible sourcing of biomass, including various residual biomasses from agriculture. This breakthrough is expected to accelerate commercial and industrial development, with Haffner Energy already in discussions with partners for this disruptive technology. Despite challenges in the global hydrogen market, particularly in Europe and France, Haffner Energy's position is strengthened by this achievement, showcasing its potential to drive the renewable hydrogen market forward.
