The future is clear

WILD HYDROGEN

What we do

Our technology will enable affordable, carbon-negative hydrogen and biomethane production. ​

Our patented Rising Pressure Reformer (RiPR) technology transforms wet biogenic material – such as agricultural residues and waste streams – into four commercially viable products: biomethane, hydrogen, captured carbon dioxide, and biochar. The process delivers a carbon-negative fuel solution, breaking free from the traditional reliance on fossil fuels. ​

The Solution

Our RiPR technology is a game-changer, as it is free from many of the downsides experienced by alternative hydrogen production methods. By taking a radical and innovative approach, we believe we have solved many of the biggest challenges facing the hydrogen production industry today.

The Difference

With little reliance on strategic rare-earth metals and no requirement for green electricity or large amounts of water, our RiPR technology eliminates many of the challenges facing other methods. It also produces low levels of tars or contaminants and is adaptable to a wide range of biogenic feedstocks

The Opportunity

The global hydrogen market is £100 billion and the vast majority of this demand is currently met using grey hydrogen production. Not only is Clear Hydrogen able to compete based on price, but it is part of the solution, not the problem, reducing emissions.

ABOUT US

Our story

Mark, James and John met at their local coffee stop. They founded Wild Hydrogen based on an idea that Mark had been musing on for many years.

Now, the company is well on its way to building a commercial plant, proving that there is a viable and sustainable method for creating negative-emission fuel.
