Projectdetails

Introduction

HYVALUE is a small-scale innovative project to produce 1,600 tons per year of hydrogen ready to be used by carbon-intensive industries and the mobility sector. The material inlet for HYVALUE will be 12,000 tons per year of discarded Municipal Solid Waste (MSW), otherwise destined for landfill.

GHG Emissions Reduction

HYVALUE allocates two simultaneous approaches for GHG emissions reduction:

  1. Hydrogen production
  2. MSW landfill reduction

The project integrates well-known process units in an innovative, product-oriented design to make hydrogen production material, energy, and financially more efficient.

Circular Economy Framework

This technical solution represents a significant step forward to end the current linear economy model, paving the way for the circular economy framework.

Hydrogen Applications

Hydrogen applications extend further than industrial and domestic energy (heat) sources (injected into the natural gas network). They can also be extended to vehicles and logistics services such as:

  • Vessels
  • Cargo trains
  • Airplanes

In the medium term, these applications will benefit from the higher fuel efficiency of hydrogen fuel cells.

Local Impact

This HYVALUE installation will be located in Vitoria, where the increase in clean hydrogen market availability will benefit local industries, especially the metal sector. It will contribute to their transition to a low carbon operation mode, create new green jobs, and boost hydrogen-related R&D at the international level.

Cost Competitiveness and Policy Alignment

Cost-competitive hydrogen availability will help local institutions promote hydrogen use in high value-added applications such as mobility. Additionally, it will facilitate the achievement of EU policies and objectives related to decarbonization and landfill reduction through waste valorization.

Project Coordination

The project will be coordinated by TUBACEX and NOVARGI, which will use its proprietary technology for the design and construction of the installation.

Financial Overview

A cost efficiency ratio of 32.06 has been estimated, along with a 36% Return on Investment for the HYVALUE project.
