Wild Hydrogen is a radical disruptor in the renewable energy sector, dedicated to creating affordable carbon-negative hydrogen.

Our RiPR technology takes biogenic material and its associated water content and splits it into hydrogen and carbon dioxide, which can then be captured and stored. With no requirement for strategic or hazardous rare-earth metals, green electricity or large amounts of water, our RiPR technology eliminates many of the challenges facing other methods. It also produces little to no harmful tars and is adaptable to a wide range of biogenic feedstocks, including numerous waste products. But most importantly, with four successful prototypes under our belt, our RiPR technology is more than a concept and has proven both efficiency and scalability.
