GHT technology solves waste disposal problems.

Green Hydrogen Technology’s production process relies on climate-friendly hydrogen production from sewage sludge, plastic waste and wood waste.

Sewage sludge

In Germany alone, nearly 1.9 million tons of sewage sludge are produced annually (source: Eurostat Data, 2020). Sewage sludge contains valuable phosphate. From 2029, EU law requires that phosphate be removed from sewage sludge before it is disposed of in landfills. So far, there is no economical process for this. Extraction is complex and expensive.

GHT technology uses sewage sludge as a fuel for gas generation. Separation of the phosphate is part of the process and requires no additional effort. This is because the high temperature in the gas burner extracts inorganically bound substances in the form of phosphate slag. Thus, hydrogen production produces phosphate in crystallized form as a by-product.

Wood waste

Despite well-developed recycling systems, a large proportion of wood waste cannot be recycled. In Germany, this amounts to 11 million tons per year (source: Technology for Wood and Natural Fiber-Based Materials. Research project of the Fraunhofer Institute. Data: Federal Statistical Office, 2020). In the GHT process, valuable synthesis gas is produced from wood waste..

Plastic waste

There is no sensible use for plastic waste that cannot be recycled. In Germany, this amounts to 3.8 million tons per year (source: Plastic Atlas, Bund für Umwelt und Naturschutz Deutschland, 2019). These residual materials are incinerated, landfilled or even disposed of in the sea. In the GHT process, valuable synthesis gas is created from plastic waste and thus provides an economic and ecological benefit.

MARKETS

Tailored to local needs and conditions

GHT technology serves a wide range of applications where the availability of economically produced green hydrogen on an industrial scale is important. It is suitable for operators in industry, the energy sector and the municipal sector, among other areas.

Waste management company
(municipal enterprise)

The operation of a hydrogen production plant with GHT technology puts municipal waste and residual materials to economic use and helps to comply with legal requirements (sewage sludge treatment). The municipality has an additional source of income. It can equip local public transport with climate-neutral propulsion and make a significant contribution to achieving climate protection targets.

Companies with high energy requirements

By cooperating with local municipal companies, the chemical producer secures a low-cost source of raw materials for generating green energy. They incur only low infrastructure costs. The operator can rely on a competitive H2 price.

Energy supplier (e.g. gas trader)

By operating a GHT production plant, a gas trader expands their product range with green hydrogen. They can largely use their existing infrastructure for this purpose. The low production costs additionally ensure profitability. This also reduces the company’s carbon footprint.
