Transforming Agricultural Waste into Clean Energy

Produce low-carbon hydrogen, nitrogen, solid carbon, and purified water from slurry, digestate water, chicken manure, and biogas using Graforce's plasmalysis technology.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Unlocking the Energy Potential of Agricultural Residues

Agricultural by-products such as slurry, digestate water, chicken manure, and biogas contain significant energy potential. Graforce's plasmalysis technology converts these organic residual materials into hydrogen, nitrogen, and valuable by-products while supporting cleaner agricultural operations.

Organic Residues

Slurry, digestate water, chicken manure, and biogas.

Hydrogen Production

Hydrogen from organic waste with <20 kWh/kg H₂.

Nitrogen Recovery

Production of industrial-grade nitrogen.

Purified Water

Clean water remains after the treatment process.

GRAFORCE SOLUTION

From Agricultural Waste to Valuable Resource

The process combines organic waste collection, plasmalysis, hydrogen production, nitrogen recovery, and water purification in one circular system.

From Agricultural Waste to Valuable Resource

Process Diagram

STEP 1

Organic Waste Collection

STEP 5

Water Purification

Return purified water to the agricultural cycle.

BIOMETHANE PLASMALYSIS

Converting Biomethane into Hydrogen and Solid Carbon

When biomethane is used as the feedstock, methane is separated into hydrogen and solid carbon without process-related CO₂ emissions. This provides an alternative to carbon capture and storage while enabling negative carbon intensity when renewable biomethane is used.
