Hydrogen Refinery is commercializing the world-leading Plasma Electrolysis System (PES), originally developed by the British military. The PES system efficiently breaks down hydrocarbon wastes like non-recyclable plastics or biogas using microwave-induced plasma to produce pure green hydrogen or synthesis gas (syngas). Syngas is a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide and is used to make synthetic fuels like SAF and SMD. This green hydrogen is used to produce green ammonia at the same price or less than ‘grey ammonia’ from natural gas. The green ammonia is then utilized in producing urea and AN. By avoiding emissions from waste burning or landfills, H2R's process is carbon negative.

Mark Durno, Managing Partner for Rockstart AgriFood: “Farmers need alternative solutions to chemical fertilizer to be able to transition to regenerative agriculture and have a positive impact on nature and climate. What impressed us with Hydrogen Refinery is the prospect of using tried and tested technology to create green hydrogen and ammonia from hydrocarbon waste management (e.g. non-recyclable plastic) in one affordable process. This can be a game-changer for how farmers gain access to green hydrogen and fertilizer.”
