Objective of the Study

An alternative that reduces emissions and cares for our planet. If this electricity is obtained from renewable sources, it will produce energy without emitting carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.The source of production defines whether the hydrogen produced is considered Grey, Blue or Green Hydrogen.

Protecting the environment involves significant challenges. Reducing the carbon footprint of energy production and the amount of waste we produce as a society are two of them. Countries and major industries are increasingly recognizing that one of the most promising routes to a zero-carbon future is the production and use of green hydrogen. However, creating green hydrogen has historically proven uneconomical.

Aim is to create local, sustainable and profitable ecosystems running on renewable Hydrogen.

The end objective is to identify the following -

• Technologies to turn tons of waste into green hydrogen.
• The waste-to-hydrogen conversion is a breakthrough in making green hydrogen economically viable, helping not only to reduce global CO2 emissions, but also to reduce pollution and degradation of water resources in the country.

Unlike other green hydrogen technologies that rely on electricity generated from conventional renewable energy plants, the study aims at identifying alternate technologies to convert waste into green hydrogen and further, to produce carbon-negative green hydrogen from non-recyclable waste at zero or below-zero cost.

The study aims at producing carbon negative green hydrogen from Non-recyclable Waste

• A full literature landscape understanding the technologies related to creating green hydrogen from non renewable waste.
• Ways on reducing the carbon footprint of energy production and the amount of waste
• Determine any other technologies available that would reduce the cost for producing green hydrogen.

Why Hydrogen?

• Can be produced without a carbon footprint
• Can be transported over long distances
• Has high energy density when compressed
• Has high energy density when compressed
• Produces clean power and fuel
• Clean Industrial feedstock
• Versatility as an energy vector with wide application
• Safety considerations similar to natural gas petroleum

How is it produced? (Types)

The source of production defines whether the hydrogen produced is considered Grey, Blue or Green Hydrogen.

 

Key points of Proposed Strategy

Scope

• Market Research – Marketed technology
• Patent & non-patent scientific literature
• Worldwide coverage, primary interest will be US
• No time restriction

Patent databases:

The following data sources will be followed to collate the information:

• Derwent Innovation
• Questel Orbit
• PatSeer
• USPTO
• Espacenet
• PatentScope
• Google Patent
• OrangeBook

Note that highlighted in bold font databases cover 100+ jurisdictions.

Patents will be analyzed on the basis of title, abstract, claims, and will be tagged as per the taxonomy. The non-English data will be analyzed based on the machine translated text provided by third party databases. The patents will be analyzed based on one member per INPADOC family.

Non Patent Scientific Literature databases:

The following data sources will be followed to collate the information:

• Science Direct
• Wiley Online
• Google Scholar
• Academic thesis
• Forums/ Blogs
• Books/ chapters
• Google

Non-patent scientific literature will be analyzed on the basis of title and abstract in English language, and taxonomy will be tagged accordingly.

Product Portfolio Analysis & Market Research Databases:

The following data sources will be followed to collate the information:

• Product brochures
• Companies’ websites
• Market reports (if publicly available)
• Magazines/Journals
• Marketing material from competitors
• News articles
• Industry associations
• Conferences
• Articles
• General Google

Market research will be a desktop exercise and based on information available publically via open web sources.

How we plan to make it comprehensive and focused?

Prepare a list of all possible technologies and rank them based on a predefined framework, agreed upon with the client during the course of study.

Find the technologies that address specific challenges or provide solutions in a specific domain.

Iterative refinement to search queries based on the review of relevant dataset, to capture missed keywords, assignees and patent classification.

Multiple strategies will be used to capture relevant data – Assignee searches, keyword and patent classification searches, market research, innovations.

Target the domain from all possible angles. Prepare targeted queries for all of the following areas:

Process Type, process parameters, type of non-recyclable waste.

Reports are based on deep and detailed analysis of green hydrogen production technology and product landscapes and come with a fully searchable repository of all relevant documents.

Send interims to client on a regular basis so that the calibrations can be made in a timely manner, if needed.

Keep the client questions in mind during the course of the project and analyze the data to extract the relevant answers – aim is to solve a specific technological problem.

A collection of technical and scientific documentation will be obtained by research, analysis and expansion of information carried out using highly specialized professional and databases – We will use the combination of patent, scientific literature and market study to gain deeper knowledge and insights.

• Identify a wide spectrum of innovative ways to use different technologies to produce green hydrogen using non recyclable waste.

Data clean up by removing noise such as references related to the points highlighted in ‘exclusion criteria’

Data clustering and classification based on a taxonomy category.
