UK’s Biorenewables Development Centre lands $6.4M for biohydrogen project

In the UK, the Biorenewables Development Centre (BDC), a subsidiary of the University of York, has secured £5 million in funding from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero. This funding will support the BDC in leading the second phase of the H2-Boost project, focused on developing biohydrogen for the transport sector. The project aims to produce biohydrogen through advanced processes such as pre-treatment of bio-based feedstocks, fermentation, microbial analysis, and by-product processing. The goal is to create an economically viable and environmentally sustainable biofuel, contributing to the decarbonization of the passenger and long-haulage transport sector, a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions.
