Carbon Neutral Hydrogen
Vedra’s Process makes Carbon Neutral Hydrogen at scale from in-situ oil while sequestering CO2. This process can also be expanded to Carbon Negative with the addition of 3rd party CO2. Bringing together academic deep computational modelling with seasoned exploration, process, separation and engineering knowledge the expert team at Vedra has developed complex selection criteria, along with bespoke dynamic modelling of assets to optimize a vast number of controlled reactions towards Hydrogen Generation. Every field, oil and asset is different, collaborating with Vedra Hydrogen is essential to exploit the Hydrogen opportunity.
In-situ Oxidation for Hydrogen Production with Carbon Sequestration. Reservoirs provide us with our reaction chamber and our carbon storage vessel.
How it works
-
Clear H2
We make H2 at scale and sequester process CO2 in the reservoir.
-
Carbon Negative
We can sequester 3rd party CO2 and separate syngas in-situ to produce only H2 to the surface.
-
Highly Scalable
Re-use of reservoirs to produce at scale. Many X larger than electrolysers.
-
Lowest Cost
Using waste oil and uneconomic assets with the potential for EOR.
-
De-Risked
Existing technologies are brought together in a novel way, fully optimized and modeled.
In-Situ Hydrogen Production
& CO2 Sequestration
The Solution
It all began with an idea, what if you could use the reservoir as a reaction chamber and carbon sequestration vessel? Typically when Oil assets become uneconomic, there is leftover residual Oil left in place (20 to 70% of original reserves).
Using this “waste” Oil as our fuel Vedra-Hydrogen has developed a process to generate Hydrogen at scale in the ground. While also sequestering the CO2 from the process.
The How
Reservoir selection is the most important factor for success. Over the past year, Vedra-Hydrogen has brought together an experienced team to research, mitigate, model both financially and reservoir simulate the Hydrogen generation potential. Optimising the reactions and inputs within varying geologies. Complex bespoke computational modelling combined with selected proven technology allows us to understand and manage the dynamics. We are now engaged in Feasibility Studies with different parties demonstrating Hydrogen production in 2023.
Highly Scalable
This opportunity is quickly scalable, with several reservoirs already identified around Europe as suitable candidates for Vedra-Hydrogens development process.
Additional Benefits
Transition towards clean/renewable energy, transforming dirty assets to clean assets.
Delay Decommissioning of assets significantly.
Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) in some situations.
Asset revaluation.
Grants and Subsidies possibilities.
