Clyde Hydrogen's planned commercial demonstration system scheduled for launch in 2027, representing the transition from pilot to commercial-scale operations.

A demonstration project deploying two 100-kilowatt biomass boilers that burn wood pellets to provide supplementary heating to downtown campus buildings. The project aims to prove the viability of biomass heating in dense urban environments and support the university's renewable energy goals.

Clyde Hydrogen's planned fully integrated pilot system incorporating automation for improved efficiency and scalability, scheduled for development by late 2025.

A waste-to-hydrogen conversion technology that heats plastic waste to extremely high temperatures to remove carbon and convert solid material into syngas, which is then modulated to generate road-fuel-quality hydrogen.

An innovative hydrogen production system that separates electrochemical reduction from hydrogen generation into two distinct stages, enabling hydrogen production at high pressures with intermittent renewable energy sources. The beta-stage prototype has demonstrated continuous operation at pressures exceeding 100 bar.

A renewable energy storage battery utilizing methylene blue textile waste dye. The battery leverages the dye's reversible redox properties to store and release energy from renewable sources like solar cells.
