BioX Nears Commercialization of Bio Green Hydrogen Production Technology

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyungsoo Park] BioX has begun the final inspection of the system ahead of the commercialization of hydrogen production technology applying the green hydrogen energy generation technology (HAAMA) system method.

BioX announced on the 9th that it is steadily conducting the test operation of the HAAMA system test bed built last month at the livestock manure and food waste joint resource recovery facility in Icheon, Gyeonggi Province.

During continuous operation, BioX confirmed the production of green hydrogen with a purity of over 90%.

The HAAMA system operating at the Icheon resource recovery facility has a 0.25t module size. It can process 0.5t of food waste wastewater per day. By stacking and connecting 0.25t modules in parallel to increase processing capacity, it can be expanded to a scale that processes 2t of food waste wastewater by April this year. It is expected to produce green hydrogen capable of filling two hydrogen fuel tanks used in the hydrogen car Nexo.

BioX plans to complete the demonstration operation of green hydrogen generation at the Icheon resource recovery facility by April and then proceed with commercialization at public resource recovery facilities including the Jungnang Water Reclamation Center in Seoul. In December last year, BioX signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the University of Seoul at the Jungnang Water Reclamation Center in Seoul to promote technology development, future business investment, field demonstration, and commercialization.

Dr. Daeyeol Jeong, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of BioX, explained, "We are focusing on strengthening commercialization capabilities not only in hydrogen production but also in linked treatment methods for discharged water after hydrogen production and energy utilization of industrial waste resources."

He added, "We are additionally developing a next-generation green hydrogen production system with automatic control by introducing autonomous driving technology combined with artificial intelligence in collaboration with domestic research institutes."
