Hydrogen
Biocatalysed electrolysis
Within Wetsus a new technology related to the biofuel cell has been developed, which is called biocatalysed electrolysis (1). This process is based on the same bio-electrochemical principles as the biofuel cell with the difference that it produces pure hydrogen gas instead of electricity. Its innovative design makes a much wider variety of wastewaters than before suitable for hydrogen production. This makes biocatalysed electrolysis a revolutionary breakthrough technology in the field of biological hydrogen production from wastewaters.
