Bio - Hydrogen
The company has developed a technology that uses agricultural
wastes, constituting about 85% of agricultural output, as the
starting material for production of hydrogen. The technology
converts all the components of the biomass into sugars and
then ferments all sugars into hydrogen. This opens up new
avenues of income generation for farmers as tailored energy
crops are profitable compared to most other agricultural crops.
Received BIPP funding.
