About GHT

About GHT

With Green Hydrogen Technology for green change on the ground.

We are a technology provider offering an alternative process for the economic production of green hydrogen that relies on existing local infrastructure. Our technology uses municipal waste as a low-cost feedstock for on-site industrial production of the climate-friendly energy source.

With our production plants, operators can generate green hydrogen at low cost – for their own use or for economic sale. At the same time, the technology contributes to solving existing and future waste disposal challenges.
