Wild Hydrogen's RiPR: Revolutionizing Hydrogen Production for a Clean Energy Future
Key Ideas
  • Wild Hydrogen's RiPR technology can convert various feedstocks into hydrogen, biomethane, CO2, and biochar, offering a scalable, carbon-negative solution.
  • The process is cost-competitive with grey hydrogen, does not heavily rely on renewable electricity, and can operate off-grid if needed, making it highly versatile.
  • The company has successfully raised funds to build prototypes and is now seeking additional funding for a 1MW commercial demonstrator in Easington, aiming to lead the way towards a net-zero future.
  • With a revolutionary approach to hydrogen production, Wild Hydrogen aspires to revolutionize industries globally by providing clean, affordable hydrogen for various applications, from manufacturing to commercial aircraft.
Wild Hydrogen, a Gloucester-based company founded in 2022, has developed the Rising Pressure Reformer (RiPR), a groundbreaking technology that can convert diverse feedstocks like seaweed, biomass, and plastics into hydrogen, biomethane, CO2, and biochar using supercritical water gasification. The RiPR process is touted to produce carbon-negative 'clear hydrogen' without the heavy reliance on renewable electricity typically associated with green hydrogen. Led by CEO James Milner, Wild Hydrogen aims to secure £6m in seed funding for a 1MW commercial demonstrator in Easington. This initiative is part of the company's broader mission to provide a scalable, carbon-negative hydrogen solution for global industries, enabling the transition to a net-zero future. The RiPR technology is praised for its tunable nature, allowing the production of various Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) products. Moreover, it utilizes common metals and ceramics, minimizing the need for rare elements and large water quantities. Wild Hydrogen's innovative approach has attracted positive attention, with chairman David Gammon highlighting the company's exceptional team and capabilities. Through a crowdfunder campaign, Wild Hydrogen invites investors to join its journey towards a sustainable future, with plans to commission the 1MW demonstrator by 2027.
