Objectives

The H2RUN project aims to develop a complete value chain for the production of alternative fuels from organic waste, based on several specific objectives:

1. Characterisation of local resources

Identify and quantify the organic waste deposits that can be mobilised on the territory, and assess their hydrogen and methane production potential.

2. Development and optimisation of biological processes

Implement and improve dark fermentation processes for hydrogen production, coupled with anaerobic digestion for methane production, while optimising yields through pre-treatments and the use of biochar.

3. Scale-up and process integration

Study the transition from laboratory to larger-scale systems, as well as coupling with complementary technologies such as water electrolysis.

4. Feasibility assessment and end uses

Analyse the techno-economic and environmental viability of a local supply chain, particularly for applications in heavy mobility (passenger and freight transport).
