Integrated Biomass Upgrading: Advancing Hydrogen and Valuable Green Chemicals through Electroreforming (BIOEC) is a cooperative research project aims to revolutionize green hydrogen production through a novel biomass electrolysis technique, providing an economically feasible alternative to traditional water splitting methods. By significantly reducing costs and valorizing oxidized by-products, the project focuses on developing a scalable system for converting waste to fuel, tailored to the waste streams of partner countries. This approach promises a targeted, efficient solution for sustainable energy production.
