Objective
BioHAVEN aims to develop and demonstrate innovative waste-to-renewable hydrogen (W2rH) pathways, advancing Europe–India cooperation in the clean energy transition. The project addresses the joint EU–India call on renewable hydrogen from biogenic waste, contributing to the decarbonisation of energy systems, circular resource use, and international R&I collaboration.
The objectives are to: (i) optimise hydrothermal gasification (HTG) and methane pyrolysis processes for hydrogen generation from diverse waste streams; (ii) integrate and validate these processes through dynamic modelling, system optimisation and pilot-scale testing; (iii) evaluate performance from techno-economic, environmental, social and safety perspectives; and (iv) establish a decision support system to guide future scale-up and policy alignment. A transversal objective is to build a robust EU–India cooperation model through joint governance, harmonised deliverables, and shared dissemination and exploitation strategies.
These objectives will be achieved by combining advanced research on catalysts, kinetic modelling and reactor optimisation (WPs 3–5) with system integration, techno-economic and life-cycle analysis and risk assessment (WPs 6–7). The decision support system (WP8) will consolidate project knowledge into actionable tools for industry and policy. Communication, dissemination, and exploitation (WP2) will ensure visibility and early uptake, supported by strong coordination between the two consortia (WP1). Industrial partners will anchor the research to real operational needs, facilitating the translation of scientific progress into market-relevant outcomes.
By advancing scalable W2rH technologies, BioHAVEN directly supports the Work Programme expected outcomes: more sustainable, safe and affordable renewable hydrogen pathways; strengthened EU–India R&I cooperation; and contributions to policy agendas such as the EU Hydrogen Strategy and India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission
