About the Project

Objectives

  • Reduce hydrogen production and transport costs
  • Generate hydrogen in a decentralized manner
  • Reduce water consumption (scarce resource)
  • Utilize waste, generating circular economy
  • Treat effluents by reusing them in the process

Project Goals

  • Achieve projected H2V cost for 2030 of $2 to $3 per kg
  • By 2035 achieve production cost of $1 to $2 per kg

Challenges

  • Production costs
  • Transport and distribution
  • Safe storage

Opportunities

  • H2 from biomass (biogas) has negative CO2 potential
  • Applications in SAF, methanol, biofuels and fertilizers
  • Use in fuel cells, transport, energy and industry

Project Flow

The H2Bios project follows an integrated flow of three main stages, each under the responsibility of a specific ICT, with coordination by HVB Energy and accreditation by INMETRO.

1

Dark Fermentation

Responsible: EMBRAPA

First stage of the process, using biomass for initial biohydrogen production.

2

Dry Biogas Reforming

Responsible: ICT2

Second stage of the process, transforming biogas into hydrogen through dry reforming.

3

Electrolysis with MEC

Responsible: UPF

Third stage of the process, using wastewater for hydrogen production via electrolysis.

INMETRO

Laboratory accreditation and certification of hydrogen produced in all stages.

HVB Energy

Coordination and monitoring of the development of each route and integration between them.

Technological Routes

Stage 1

Biological Route

Dark Fermentation - EMBRAPA

  • No energy consumption
  • Low operational cost
  • No water consumption
  • Low production cost
  • Possibility to produce Biohythane

Maturity Level: TRL-3

Stage 2

Thermochemical Route

Dry biogas reforming - ICT2

  • No water consumption
  • Uses raw biogas CH4 and CO2 (without H2S)
  • Avoids purification process for biomethane
  • Com otimização, 1m³ de biogás produz 2m³ de H2
  • Produz gás de síntese

Maturity Level: TRL-6

Stage 3

Electrochemical Route

Eletrólise da água residuária com MEC - UPF

  • Consumo 50% menor de energia que a eletrólise convencional
  • Tratamento do efluente
  • Reaproveitamento da água
  • Integração com outras rotas

Maturity Level: TRL-3
