Transforming carbon-based waste into high-purity hydrogen without electrolysis or fossil fuels.
White Hydrogen is naturally occurring hydrogen sometimes found in geological formations deep within the earth’s crust. While the concept of extracting geological hydrogen is promising, practical and commercial-scale recovery is still years away.
Delafield’s White Hydrogen Platform generates clean hydrogen above ground, using advanced thermal processing of carbon-based waste — including glycerol, plastics, and biomass byproducts. This process requires no electrolysis, fossil fuels, or carbon emissions.
Developed by Delafield Pty Ltd, White Hydrogen and H2-XERONOX® is a proprietary, patent-pending platform for decentralised hydrogen production from waste-derived feedstocks like crude glycerol. It operates without catalysts or purified water, making it modular, low-CAPEX, and ideal for local deployment.
Carbon-based waste (e.g., crude glycerol, plastics) enters the H2-XERONOX® thermochemical reactor.
Thermal processing with steam breaks molecular bonds to produce hydrogen-rich syngas.
Syngas passes through a Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) system.
PSA separates gases to produce 99.999% pure hydrogen.
Converts carbon-based waste into hydrogen-rich syngas using thermal energy and steam.
Extracts 99.999% pure hydrogen, recycling off-gases for energy efficiency.
Compact, scalable, and deployable in a 20ft container for local applications.
Advanced controls ensure efficient and reliable hydrogen production.
The pilot plant produces up to 100 kg of hydrogen per day. In test runs, semi-refined and crude glycerol were converted to hydrogen-rich syngas with over 80% hydrogen concentration.
After PSA purification, the system delivers 99.999% pure hydrogen, ready for fuel cells, industrial heating, or energy storage.
H2-XERONOX® is more energy-efficient than traditional electrolysis, requiring significantly less energy by using carbon-based waste instead of water. Its carbon-negative potential and self-sustaining design lower production costs while eliminating CO₂ emissions.
Our technology transforms waste streams into clean hydrogen for various applications:
Scientifically validated by the University of Queensland and AIBN, our modular systems are compact, mobile, and ideal for decentralized energy setups worldwide.
