On-Demand, On-Site Green Hydrogen: Ossus Renewables

Ossus Renewables make major breakthrough with with bioreactor using waste from industries; receives major pre-Series A round funding.

Here’s an article posted in Financial Express.

According to the article,

• Ossus Biorenewables is a company that specializes in green hydrogen production
• They have developed a technology that allows for on-demand, on-site hydrogen production
• This technology is expected to revolutionize the hydrogen industry by providing a more efficient and sustainable solution

Ossus Biorenewables’ bioreactor, OB HydraCel, works by using waste carbon in industrial effluents as the starting material for green hydrogen production. Here is a step-by-step explanation of the process:

1. Target: The bioreactor targets the dilute organic content in effluents for biohydrogen production.
2. Select: It selectively breaks down the organic content using electroactive microbial communities.
3. Encapsulate: The microorganisms are encapsulated within the bioreactor.
4. Produce: The bioreactor produces hydrogen gas using the encapsulated microorganisms and the waste carbon from the effluent.

Some important features of the OB HydraCel are:

1. Self-Powered: The bioreactor runs on localized power generated using an attached generator, ensuring it does not directly draw power from the site.
2. Retrofittable Design: The bioreactor is designed to be retrofittable, ensuring it takes up no additional space and avoids pressure drops.
3. Minimum Footprint: The bioreactor is designed to resemble pipelines at the site, ensuring a minimum footprint.
4. Minimum Downtime: The bioreactor attaches directly to the effluent pipeline, acting as a bypass to ensure minimum downtime.

This innovative bioreactor technology allows for on-demand, on-site green hydrogen gas generation, reducing the need for transportation and increasing efficiency.
