We believe data is the key to unlocking value in sustainability, through reporting standards and trusted information sharing.

Multiple Solution Areas Reducing food waster Farm management system HydGene Renewables Read more At HydGene Renewables, we are revolutionising the way we produce green hydrogen – a clean molecule that will accelerate our transition to a net zero-carbon future. We have engineered a biocatalyst solution that generates carbon-neutral and high purity hydrogen from renewable plant-based feedstocks such as straw and food-waste. The hydrogen is made on-site and on-demand, and so we eliminate the need, complexities, and high costs of hydrogen storage and transport. Our biocatalyst is deployed in a modular cartridge which can be readily scaled to support the decarbonisation of major hydrogen industries including chemical manufacturing (for ammonia production) and the energy sector.
