HydGene Recognised by Forbes JAPAN as Resilient Climate Tech Pioneer Amid Shifting Global Policy

HydGene Renewables has been recognised by Forbes JAPAN as one of the breakthrough technologies expected to thrive despite increasing global policy uncertainty, particularly in light of changing U.S. leadership. Featured in the article “A Second Trump Administration Creates Headwinds and Tailwinds for 'Climate Tech' Startups”, HydGene is spotlighted for its unique position in strengthening sovereign industrial capabilities and advancing critical decarbonisation efforts through its innovative hydrogen production platform.

Resilience Amid Policy Shifts

The article outlines how a second Trump administration in the United States has prompted regulatory shifts that favour fossil fuel expansion and cast doubt over climate-forward initiatives such as the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Amid this volatile environment, startups in certain sectors - especially those contributing to domestic energy and fuel resilience - are seen as more likely to succeed.

HydGene was singled out as one of a small group of international companies well-positioned to weather these changes, thanks to its decentralised, modular hydrogen platform that does not rely on large-scale electricity infrastructure or grid access.

A Novel Approach to Green Hydrogen

HydGene’s platform uses engineered biocatalysts embedded in modular cartridges to convert biomass-derived sugars—including agricultural residues, sewage sludge, and brewery waste - into renewable green hydrogen. Unlike electrolysis, which depends on clean electricity and water infrastructure, HydGene’s approach enables on-site, on-demand hydrogen generation from abundant organic waste streams.

This flexibility makes the technology well-suited for decarbonising chemical manufacturing -such as green methanol and ammonia - as well as complementing biogas operations.

Enabling Sovereign Capability

This international recognition reinforces the global relevance and adaptability of HydGene’s platform. As policy environments evolve, HydGene’s unique combination of biological innovation, system modularity, and feedstock flexibility stands out as a resilient climate solution designed to support industrial sovereignty and sustainable economic growth.
