Biomass to hydrogen - India’s first biomass-based hydrogen plant coming up in MP

Source : Business Line


Notes by Narsi

Among all the buzz about electrolysis-based green hydrogen, here's a green hydrogen development that might see significant traction during the second half of this decade - hydrogen from biomass.

And to prove that this is not all talk, there are plans to get the country's first b-2-h plant running in MP. The plant will produce a tonne of hydrogen per day, from 30 tonnes of biomass feedstock. It will also produce biochar and methane as by-products.

The plant is being put up by a joint venture of Watomo Energies Ltd and Biezel Green Energy. The tech planned to be used is called a ‘thermally accelerated anaerobic digestion (TAD) reactor’ that can produce hydrogen, methane, and biochar from biomass.
