Purifies wastewater and generates hydrogen
The market for a photochemical water purification and hydrogen generation process
Challenge
Hydrogen generation by hydrolysis requires purified water. A methodology is proposed in which water is simultaneously purified and hydrogen is generated by a photochemical method.
The aim is to assess the market and determine which countries should extend the patent and which partners are appropriate for commercial exploitation.
Solution
Different territories worldwide have been evaluated according to indicators related to green hydrogen, hours of sunlight and the generation and treatment of urban and industrial wastewater.
Existing projects where hydrogen is generated from wastewater have been compiled, concluding that they are always decoupled processes: first, it is purified and then hydrolysed.
Relevant players worldwide have been compiled and may eventually become partners.
Result
- The client has extended the patent according to the prioritisation of territories provided by Arvor based on the compiled indicators.
- The risks and benefits of the technology and the issues to be addressed to move to the next point of value creation have been determined, as well as which partners to progress with.
“The risks and benefits of the technology have been identified.”
