Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and Chemergy Inc. Plan Demonstration of Byproduct to Hydrogen Gas

The LLNL and Chemergy demonstration project will begin in mid-October with the aim of demonstrating that within a year the Antioch wastewater treatment plant will be processing one ton per day of wet biosolids and will be producing up to 30 kilowatts of electricity. The electricity, in turn, will be used to power select functions at the plant.

Chemergy uses a patent-pending technology, which integrates thermochemistry to produce heat, carbon dioxide and a hydrogen compound from wet biosolids. The hydrogen compound is then decomposed to produce renewable hydrogen gas.
