Gloucester-based clean energy firm Wild Hydrogen has announced plans to establish its first demonstrator plant near Stroud, marking its third anniversary in 2025. The plant will exhibit the company's pioneering technology that converts plant-based materials, including waste plastics, into carbon-negative fuel such as hydrogen and biomethane. Wild Hydrogen's innovative approach is anticipated to transform the energy sector by offering a more sustainable alternative to fossil fuels, with a process that requires less electricity than traditional hydrogen production methods, making it feasible for various transportation modes. The proposed site at Meadow Mill in Eastington is set to facilitate small-scale testing and showcase the company's innovations to industry partners, policymakers, and researchers. The development involves seeking consent for various activities like installing generation equipment, constructing boundaries, and engaging with the local community to explore ways in which excess heat and captured carbon dioxide can support local agriculture and contribute to Gloucestershire's net-zero objectives. James Milner, CEO of Wild Hydrogen, highlighted the importance of community engagement in the project's journey towards achieving net-zero goals. Additionally, the partnership with Wales & West Utilities aims to assess the capability of Wild Hydrogen's technology in delivering low carbon synthetic methane and blended hydrogen to the gas grid, playing a crucial role in the transition to a decarbonized energy future. By aligning with key industry players, Wild Hydrogen is taking significant steps towards ensuring environmental and economic sustainability in the energy sector.
