Our Technology

At HydGene, synthetic biology and industrial engineering meet to build the future of biomanufacturing.

HydGene's Biocatalyst

Our proprietary biocatalyst converts biomass into high-purity green hydrogen. It comes encapsulated in beads that make it easy to store and transport.

The biocatalyst is feedstock agnostic, incredibly robust, and produces hydrogen continuously. It generates high-value co-products that complement the H2 in industrial processes – you can learn more about their use cases here.

A Modular, On-Site System

The biocatalyst is deployed via stackable cartridges that can be scaled to meet demand. This system integrates into existing processes to produce hydrogen when and where it’s needed.

The Process

Step 1: Extract sugars
from biomass

We use standard industrial processes to extract sugars from the biomass. Our biocatalyst works with crude sugars, so no refinement is needed.

Step 2: Convert sugars to H2 and co-products

HydGene's biocatalyst converts sugars to green hydrogen and co-products, on-site and on-demand.

Step 3: Utilise H2 and co-products

HydGene's high-purity green H2 and co-products can be used for a range of industrial processes - from ammonia production to biogas upgrading and more.

Biomass Feedstocks

Our biocatalyst is biomass agnostic, allowing us to tap into low-cost feedstocks anywhere. The biocatalyst has been tested with 130+ feedstocks, from straw stubble to sewage to spent grain and more.

If you’re interested in testing your feedstock with our biocatalyst, we do so at a minimal cost in our Sydney lab. Please reach out here.
