A groundbreaking project led by the Biorenewables Development Centre at the University of York has successfully produced hydrogen at scale through a biological process, addressing environmental concerns by capturing carbon dioxide released in the production process. The H2Boost project, achieved in partnership with the University of Leeds and funded by the UK government's Net Zero Innovation Portfolio, focuses on converting everyday waste into clean hydrogen using dark fermentation. This innovative process not only produces biohydrogen but also captures and reuses all by-products, minimizing waste and maximizing energy generation. Penny Cunningham, Programme Operations Manager at the Centre, highlighted the significance of integrating hydrogen production with carbon capture, emphasizing the promise of this approach for future sustainable energy solutions. The project aims to develop a commercially viable process for producing biohydrogen from organic waste, with the potential to significantly contribute to the UK's net zero ambitions and decarbonization efforts. Industry experts foresee low-carbon hydrogen technologies playing a substantial role in meeting the UK's energy needs, particularly in the transportation sector, with a projected contribution of up to 35% by 2050. This achievement marks a major milestone in the UK's green energy sector and signifies a step towards a cleaner, more sustainable energy future.
