Scaling our proven technology
Wild Hydrogen is now raising capital to move from demonstration to commercial readiness. This investment will support front-end engineering for production-scale RiPR units, validation of continuous hydrogen and biomethane operation, and the expansion of manufacturing capability.
This funding round enables first commercial deployments and positions the company for a future Series A raise, accelerating our ambition to deliver affordable, carbon-negative energy at scale.
THE CHALLENGE
Decarbonising energy
While renewable electricity is scaling rapidly, around 80% of global energy demand still depends on molecules, not electrons. Today, only a small fraction of this molecular energy is decarbonised. Existing solutions such as electrolysis and anaerobic digestion are costly, inefficient or limited in scale, leaving industry, heat and gas infrastructure heavily reliant on fossil fuels.
Wild Hydrogen was founded to address this gap, delivering a practical, scalable alternative to fossil gas using existing infrastructure.
THE TECHNOLOGY
Our solution
Wild Hydrogen has developed RiPR (Rising Pressure Reformer), a patented, TRL6 technology that converts wet biogenic waste into clean gas using supercritical water. RiPR can be tuned to prioritise either hydrogen or biomethane production, while also generating captured carbon dioxide and biochar.
The result is a flexible, modular system capable of producing clean gas at or near fossil fuel prices, without reliance on the electricity grid and with the potential to be carbon-negative.
THE DIFFERENCE
Designed for scale, flexibility and cost
RiPR overcomes the limitations of incumbent technologies. It can process a wide range of biogenic and waste feedstocks with minimal pre-treatment, produces tar-free syngas, and can switch between hydrogen and biomethane depending on market need.
This flexibility enables deployment across multiple sectors, from agriculture and waste processing to industrial sites, unlocking local, distributed green gas production where it is needed most. Unlike electrolysis or anaerobic digestion, RiPR combines feedstock flexibility, dual-fuel output and carbon-negative potential in a single, modular system.
TRACTION & VALIDATION
Proven progress, strong partners
Wild Hydrogen has successfully progressed through four prototype generations from TRL3 to TRL6, demonstrating both efficiency and scalability. The company has secured validation from industry and government, including partnerships with SUEZ and Wales & West Utilities, and early commercial interest through letters of intent.
To date, Wild Hydrogen has raised over £4m from private investors, secured more than £1.4m in non-dilutive grant funding, and completed a successful public crowdfunding round.
THE OUTPUTS
Commercial Potential
RiPR converts wet biogenic material into four high-value outputs – biomethane, hydrogen, captured carbon dioxide and biochar – each with its own established and growing market.
This multi-product model creates several routes to profitability, reducing risk and increasing resilience for both Wild Hydrogen and our customers. By delivering multiple revenue streams from a single process, RiPR offers a commercially compelling alternative to single-output clean energy technologies.
THE PATENT
Intellectual Property
Wild Hydrogen owns the complete intellectual property for our RiPR technology and holds the patent.
This patent has now been extended to the United States, Europe, Australia, the Middle East, Canada, India, South Korea and Japan.
GOING FORWARDS
Next steps
The next phase of our development is already underway. Our pilot plant, supported by Innovate UK, goes live in summer 2026, enabling continuous testing, independent validation by CPI and large-scale feedstock trials.
From 2029, we will move into full production of RiPR units from our Eastington facility, rolling out systems from 1 MW to 25 MW to meet growing demand for reliable, carbon-negative energy solutions across industrial, agricultural and waste-processing markets.
In parallel, RiPR’s ability to produce low-cost hydrogen and captured carbon dioxide creates a pathway to supply key feedstocks for e-fuels, supporting the decarbonisation of sectors such as aviation and shipping where direct electrification is not viable.
