INDUTEC, a company of the IDP Group, participates in the HYDRODIG project, framed in the “CERVERA” R+D call for technology transfer, which promotes the production of green hydrogen through dark fermentation from agri-food waste, optimization and digitalization of the process.

The general objective of the project is to research and develop a biological production system for green hydrogen (green H2) based on dark fermentation (FO) technology, using waste generated in the dairy and agri-food sector as raw material and integrating digitalisation tools based on the concept of DG. HYDRODIG aims to research and design a green H2 production system using dairy waste as a raw material. This system will make it possible to propose an alternative technology for the production of green or renewable H2, which also constitutes a way of managing dairy waste, seeking to maximise the efficiency of the process and also contributing to the digital transformation of the industry.

The solution of the HYDRODIG project will make it possible to propose a sustainable alternative for waste recovery through the production of a high-value, clean-burning, CO2-free biofuel with a variety of applications in a process that will be supported by digital tools that will contribute to the transformation of the agri-food sector.

Indutec-IDP Group participates in the project with the promotion of green H2 production and the competitiveness of the agri-food industrial sector through the research of an alternative green H2 production technology to the most widespread one, water electrolysis. The incorporation of digital tools will also contribute to promoting the competitiveness of the sector, which will be able to incorporate the DGs not only in the FO process, but also consider this tool for its application in its entire production system.

This project has been funded by the European Commission under the Grant Agreement Ref. IDI-20230982
