Haffner Energy, a company that specialises in producing green hydrogen from biomass, has officially disclosed the signing of two significant contracts with Carbonloop for the supply of Hyliko’s stations.
Haffner Energy keeps advancing its pawns in the green hydrogen industry. The business has just formalised the building of two new Hynoca stations in partnership with Carbonloop, a start-up that provides a CO2 sequestration solution.
Each site will enable CarbonLoop to produce 225 tonnes of hydrogen yearly, 1,100 tonnes of biochar, and roughly 2,400 tonnes of CO2e by sequestering 7,000 tonnes of biomass residues annually. Green hydrogen will be sold by CARBONLOOP to HYLIKO, who will then distribute it throughout its network of future hydrogen filling stations for large vehicles. Biochar will be marketed to the agricultural industry and will be valued for its capabilities as fertiliser.
An initial location in the Ile-de-France area
The first of the two Hynoca stations will be situated close to one of the upcoming Hyliko network stations in Villabé, Essone. The second site’s location, which has not yet been made official, will be disclosed later this year.
The global process
The HYNOCA technology, the result of ten years of research and development, allows for the production of green hydrogen from biomass residues through a procedure that is broken down into three main stages: a thermolysis unit where heated biomass decomposes into a solid residue (biochar), a gas that is then refined in a high-temperature cracking unit, and finally a purification unit that only keeps hydrogen.
