Chanon awarded Frontier Seed Funding for a project on green hydrogen production from foodwaste

Green hydrogen is a cornerstone of the global energy transition, yet conventional water electrolysis remains cost-prohibitive, mainly due to the high electricity demand of the oxygen evolution reaction. The goal of this project is to develop a circular, hybrid electrolyser platform for food-waste-derived bioethanol, a versatile and readily fermentable feedstock. The project will integrate biological fermentation with electrochemical conversion to produce green hydrogen and green chemicals, while conducting supply chain mapping, techno-economic assessments, and life-cycle analyses.
