BioX Files 3 Green Hydrogen Energy Patents in US and Korea
[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Hyun-seok] BioX announced on the 25th that it has filed three domestic and international patents in the US and Korea for green hydrogen production technology using wastewater.
BioX jointly filed a domestic patent related to the green hydrogen system (e-H2Gen) with the US company EAT (Electro-Active Technologies). Prior to this, it also completed a US patent application through EAT. Additionally, BioX has applied for a joint domestic patent with EAT for a Korean-style green hydrogen production system.
BioX's green hydrogen system (e-H2Gen) is a green hydrogen production technology based on bacteria that generate electrons, using microbial electrolysis with tailing liquid (leachate). It features not only environmental functions such as treating organic waste like livestock manure, food waste, and biomass, but also produces energy in the form of biogas, achieving a natural cyclical function simultaneously.
The technology filed this time is a stable, high-performance bioelectrochemical system control process technology that produces clean, high-purity hydrogen of over 99%. In particular, it has advantages such as ▲hydrogen production with minimal processing ▲low-cost raw material supply ▲reduced transportation costs ▲high electrical efficiency, making it the first low-cost, high-efficiency process technology in Korea compared to existing technologies.
A company official said, “We have completed domestic and international patent applications for innovative technology to produce eco-friendly green hydrogen that simultaneously solves the problem of organic waste treatment without using fossil fuels. BioX is strengthening industry-academia-research cooperation as well as participating in national projects related to green hydrogen, and preparations for pilot testing in the second half of the year are progressing smoothly, aiming to accelerate commercialization.”
