Mission
HELBIO aims to develop and commercialise:
- fuel-processing systems, primarily for ethanol but also for other fuels, which will be integrated with fuel cells to produce electricity and heat (CHP).
- hydrogen production units for industrial applications to replace the existing hydrogen transport and storage facilities which are costly and hazardous.
HELBIO has produced a steady stream of innovations and technological advancements:
2005 - Design, construction and testing of a commercial unit for production of hydrogen for industrial applications
2004 - The advanced multi-fuel processor GH2 for hydrogen and energy production
2003 - Construction and operation of a pilot plant unit
2002 - Technical feasibility study for small (10kW) and large (200kW) units
2001 - Major technical, economic and feasibility study for biomass based CHP systems
