H2 Industries plans waste-to-hydrogen plant in Egypt
Production process using organic waste and non-recyclable plastic can undercut existing low-carbon technologies, US company says
New York-based H2 Industries has been granted preliminary approval by local authorities in Egypt to develop a waste-to-hydrogen plant at East Port Said on the Suez Canal. The project is designed to produce 300,000t/yr of clean hydrogen from 4mn t/yr of organic waste and non-recyclable plastic feedstock, which will be secured at the Mediterranean entrance to the canal. H2 Industries says the plant’s levelised cost of production will undercut green hydrogen and other low-carbon technologies, as well as grey hydrogen. The company’s proprietary technology uses an integrated thermolysis plant to produce hydrogen, which is then chemically bonded to a liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC). 300,00
