BEEAH-led consortium to produce fuel cell grade H2 from waste wood & plastic

BEEAH Group, the Middle East’s sustainability pioneer, Chinook Sciences, UK’s innovator in waste-to-fuel technologies, and Air Water, a Japanese conglomerate with businesses relating to natural resources and industrial gas production, have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to produce fuel cell grade hydrogen from waste wood and plastic.

The MoU is the first step in forming a consortium that will advance progress on the Middle East’s first waste-to-hydrogen plant, located in Sharjah, and explore further opportunities across the region.

Combining BEEAH’s expertise in waste management and material recovery, Chinook Sciences patented RODECS pyrolysis and gasification process, and Air Water’s Hydrogen Refinement technology, the Waste to Hydrogen plant in Sharjah will transform waste wood and plastic into fuel-cell grade green hydrogen.

The plans for the Waste-to-Hydrogen plant include an on-site green hydrogen dispensing station capable of fuelling several vehicles. To realize this innovative type of fuelling station, the plant will need to produce fuel cell-grade hydrogen, which will be made possible with Air Water’s Hydrogen Refinement technology.

Syngas produced from the RODECS pyrolysis and gasification process from Chinook Sciences will be fed into the hydrogen refinement system, resulting in fuel cell-grade green hydrogen. Specifically, the grade hydrogen will be produced for PEM fuel cells at
