HydGene Renewables company profile

HydGene Renewables is developing a biotechnology platform that produces on-site green hydrogen from waste biomass — without electrolysis. By focusing first on green ammonia and fertilizer production, our cost-competitive, carbon-negative hydrogen offers a scalable alternative to fossil-based feedstocks. HydGene’s technology eliminates hydrogen transport and storage costs by generating it where it’s needed, unlocking faster and more affordable decarbonisation across the chemical industry. Founded in 2021 in Sydney, Australia, and backed by leading investors and strategic partners, HydGene is pioneering the next generation of clean hydrogen solutions to accelerate the global shift to net zero. Founding team: Dr Louise Brown, Prof Robert Willows, Dr Natalie Curach, Dr Kerstin Petroll.
