| Suiso | Suiso is developing a breakthrough microwave-driven pyrolysis process which generates Hydrogen by decarbonising Natural/Bio Gas. Ventured backed and based in Sheffield UK, Suiso is a winner of the BEIS Low Carbon H2 Supply scheme. It plans to deliver shipping container sized Hydrogen generators, with a capacity to provide of up to 1,000kg ofHydrogen daily. A competitive benchmarking exercise, in the BEIS study, has confirmed that Suiso will have the lowest cost of H2 in a number of key H2 applications and lower Carbon emissions than grid powered electrolysis. By producing Hydrogen at the point of use, Suiso eliminates the expensive distribution costs incurred by large scale centralised H2 producers, one of the primary obstacles to the widespread adoption of Hydrogen. Suiso’s process reduces CO2 emissions by 97%+ versus steam methane reforming, utilizes 80% less energy than electrolysis and has very low equipment capital costs making it one of the most affordable Hydrogen production technologies. Suiso captures the Carbon in the Natural/Bio-Gas in the form of solid Carbon Black which has significant commercial value in the production of tyres, batteries, inks, other applications. | $3.8M | Seed | Mar 11, 2024 |  |
