Every year, oil and gas companies produce nearly 100 million tonnes of hydrogen. That number is growing as they start prioritizing clean energy and the global hydrogen market rises to $94 billion.
But there’s one big problem: about 20 million tonnes of hydrogen are lost in the process. That’s roughly $30 billion in value disappearing annually. A company called DiviGas exists to stop that loss.
CEO André Lorenceau and his team developed and patented a filter that captures 99% of wasted hydrogen for these companies. They’ve come a long way in very little time, and they’re now inviting everyday investors to participate in their next chapter.
But first, DiviGas had to answer the most basic question: Why are people letting valuable hydrogen escape?
How DiviGas is solving the $30B hydrogen problem
Across refineries, ammonia plants, petrochemical facilities, and emerging hydrogen production sites, leakage is treated as unavoidable. That’s because previous technologies couldn’t capture it if they wanted to. They’re known to be expensive, fragile, or require full facility rebuilds. For these reasons, most operators have simply been accepting waste for years.
After years of development alongside scientists and energy experts, the DiviGas team created what they say is a first-of-its-kind polymeric membrane filter that can recover nearly all of the hydrogen lost. It recovers up to 25% more hydrogen than legacy solutions, the company says.
But, just as importantly, their technology is easy to adopt. Customers no longer need to overhaul a facility to add it. Simply plug and play to capture revenue.
Every hydrogen plant needs this
