Development of a pilot-scale system to demonstrate the feasibility of hydrogen production using a combined water electrolysis and wastewater treatment modular plant

This project aims to demonstrate the feasibility of a novel system for an efficient and environmentally friendly wastewater treatment plant to produce clean water and hydrogen production as a clean fuel. Hydrogen, as an important energy carrier, is a part of Canada’s energy transition towards net-zero emission and an important asset in Canada’s fight against climate change. In the framework of water-energy nexus, this project aims to produce clean water from wastewater where green hydrogen as a clean fuel is also produced within the process with low cost and low environmental impact, making it economically competitive with fossil fuel-based hydrogen production and accelerates carbon-free infrastructure development.
