The company will also focus on recycling by introducing the ‘Waste to Hydrogen’ process. Aiming to take an active role in the hydrogen production method, Hyundai will produce clean hydrogen with biogas obtained from organic waste such as food waste, sewage sludge and animal manure. It will produce an environmentally friendly energy source through waste sourcing while also eliminating impurities such as methane.
The company’s entire waste-to-hydrogen production process underlines the importance of reducing methane, a major contributor to climate change. It also actively supports the biogas industry by converting methane from waste into hydrogen for environmentally friendly mobility, energy production and industrial use. “Waste-to-hydrogen facilities in South Korea also contribute to a carbon neutral approach through the use of renewable energy, producing approximately 500 kilograms of hydrogen per day.”
