Ossus Biorenewables provides on‑site bioreactor systems (OB HydraCel) that biologically convert industrial wastewater into high‑purity green hydrogen while recovering water for reuse. The technology operates with low electricity input, avoids rare‑earth catalysts, and can be deployed as turnkey, Build‑Own‑Operate, or hydrogen‑as‑a‑service solutions, enabling heavy‑industry operators to decarbonize and manage effluents cost‑effectively.

Problem
Industrial processes generate large volumes of wastewater and face high costs and energy consumption when producing green hydrogen through conventional electrolysis, limiting decarbonization and water reuse efforts.
Solution
Ossus Biorenewables addresses this gap with a proprietary bioreactor platform, OB HydraCel, that biologically converts industrial effluents into high‑purity green hydrogen while simultaneously recovering water. The system operates on‑site with low electrical input, eliminating the need for rare‑earth catalysts and reducing overall production costs. By integrating the bioreactor into existing facilities, Ossus enables continuous, on‑demand hydrogen generation and closed‑loop water management, supporting industrial decarbonization and effluent mitigation without extensive capital upgrades.
Target Audience
Primary customers are heavy‑industry operators—such as chemical manufacturers, steel producers, refineries, and other facilities with high‑volume wastewater—that require affordable, on‑site green hydrogen and water reuse solutions.
Features
- Biological conversion of wastewater streams to high‑purity hydrogen using the OB HydraCel bioreactor
- Integrated water recovery that returns treated water to the process or for reuse
- Low‑energy operation that consumes a fraction of the electricity required by traditional electrolysis
- Modular design supporting turnkey deployment, Build‑Own‑Operate, or Hydrogen‑as‑a‑Service models with EPC partner integration
- No reliance on rare‑earth metals or expensive catalyst materials
- Scalable on‑site installation adaptable to a range of industrial effluent compositions
