The Difference

A RADICAL DISRUPTOR

We are different

Most technologies in this space offer a single outcome. Anaerobic digesters produce biomethane, and electrolysers produce hydrogen – but rarely can a single system deliver both. RiPR does. Our technology can generate biomethane and hydrogen from the same process, giving customers a dual-fuel proposition and immediate flexibility across multiple markets. It also produces captured carbon dioxide and biochar, widening the commercial value even further.

RiPR can process a broad range of feedstocks, including challenging wet wastes, without relying on green electricity, large volumes of fresh water or strategic rare earth metals. This allows it to overcome the limitations of both anaerobic digestion and electrolysis, while producing minimal tars or contaminants and keeping downstream processing simple and cost effective.

With four successful prototypes already built (currently at TRL6), RiPR is well beyond the concept stage, demonstrating efficiency, reliability and scalability. Our pilot plant goes live in 2026, providing continuous validation and paving the way for commercial rollout of modular RiPR units from 2029 onwards.

How is Wild Hydrogen different?

Hydrogen technology is advancing rapidly, but many existing approaches face significant technical and commercial challenges. Our RiPR technology takes a radically different path, overcoming many of these barriers by offering a cleaner, more flexible solution that can produce both carbon-negative hydrogen and low-carbon biomethane.

Carbon Negative

Our RiPR units are carbon-negative-ready and with a few additional steps will actively remove carbon from the atmosphere

Cost-effective

Clear Hydrogen from suitable feedstocks can compete with existing grey and blue hydrogen on price

Efficient

Only a fraction of the energy in the feedstock or syngas produced needs to be used to sustain the process

Robust

The process is inherently simple, with minimal feedstock preparation, making it more robust than many alternatives

Adaptable

The technology is flexible in being able to use a wide range of biogenic feedstocks, including waste products

No fossil fuel volatility

 Clear Hydrogen is a fossil fuel replacement, so it is free from the price volatility that afflicts those options

Few waste tars or gases

Our RiPR process converts a high proportion of feedstock while producing lower levels of syngas contaminants, unlike many of the alternatives

Available materials

Unlike many alternatives, our RiPR units are constructed from widely available metals and ceramics, requiring few rare catalyst or process materials

In a busy industry, we’re an outlier

Clear Hydrogen proves that there is a clean energy alternative to fossil fuels that has the potential to compete both on price and emissions.

Feedstock Adaptability

The biogenic material going into our RiPR units requires almost no preparation and a wide range of feedstocks can be used. This adaptability of the technology not only means that there is less risk of competition with food production, but the costs are likely to drop as more industrial waste byproducts are explored. This feature effectively future-proofs the technology to ensure that it is not reliant on a single feedstock source.

THE CARBON CYCLE

How would our hydrogen become carbon negative?

Carbon and hydrogen are the building blocks of all biogenic material. This carbon begins as carbon dioxide, is stored in biogenic material via photosynthesis, and then will eventually be released back into the atmosphere as this material decomposes or is burned.

The RiPR has the ability with a few additional steps to interrupt the carbon cycle by capturing the carbon dioxide in the syngas so that it can be used or stored. This is removed from the carbon cycle and, therefore, from the atmosphere.

A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY

The future is clear

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 the growing demand for reliable, carbon-negative energy solutions.
