Harnessing energy from hydrogen could help humanity decarbonise global economies. The BIONICO project is testing out an innovative new pilot plant which produces hydrogen straight from biomass such as landfill.
As mankind heads towards a decarbonised global economy, cleaner energy sources are increasingly sought after. Hydrogen could reduce both pollution and the production of harmful greenhouse gases. However, most of the hydrogen currently produced comes from natural gas, coal or oil, all of which create carbon dioxide.
