The Difference

A RADICAL DISRUPTOR

We are different

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, including numerous waste products.

With four successful prototypes already having been built, our RiPR technology is more than a concept and has proven efficiency and scalability. We are planning our fifth prototype to be a commercial demonstrator – expected to be commissioned in 2027.

How is Wild Hydrogen different?

Hydrogen technology is advancing at pace, but there are significant challenges facing many of the options. Clear Hydrogen eliminates a wide range of these by taking a radically different approach.

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 global hydrogen market is expected to exceed $200 billion by 2030, with the vast majority of this demand currently met from natural gas using established steam-methane-reforming technology. We have the opportunity to contribute significantly in meeting this growth in demand.
