About Ki Hydrogen
Ki Hydrogen utilizes biomass electrolysis to co-produce green hydrogen at $2/kg and biogenic carbon at $100/tonne, providing cost-competitive alternatives to fossil fuels. This technology addresses the urgent need for sustainable chemical building blocks essential for a decarbonized economy.
```xml <problem> The current fossil hydrocarbon industry, valued at $8 trillion, heavily relies on non-sustainable sources for essential chemical building blocks, contributing significantly to global emissions. There is a pressing need for cost-competitive and scalable alternatives to fossil fuels for producing green hydrogen and biogenic carbon. </problem> <solution> Ki Hydrogen utilizes a novel biomass electrolysis process to co-produce green hydrogen and biogenic carbon, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional fossil fuel-based methods. The technology combines renewable electricity with lignocellulosic biomass, sourced from agriculture, forestry, and industrial waste, in a proprietary biomass electrolyser. This process transforms biomass into essential chemical building blocks, preventing the release of CO2 back into the atmosphere. The co-production approach achieves green hydrogen at a cost of $2/kg and biogenic carbon at $100/tonne, making it a competitive solution for decarbonizing various sectors. The resulting green hydrogen and biogenic carbon can be used in heavy industry, the production of chemical building blocks, and the creation of e-fuels. </solution> <features> - Novel biomass electrolysis process for co-production of green hydrogen and biogenic carbon - Utilizes abundant lignocellulosic biomass from agriculture, forestry, and industrial waste - Achieves green hydrogen production at $2/kg - Produces biogenic CO2 at $100/tonne - Requires 25 kWh of renewable electricity per kg of H2 produced - Features built-in gas separation </features> <target_audience> The primary target audience includes companies in heavy industry (green steel, carbon storage, hydroprocessing), chemical building blocks (fertilizers, food grade CO2, plastics & textiles), and e-fuels (e-SAF, green methanol, green ammonia) sectors seeking sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels. </target_audience> ```
