Zero-Carbon Hydrogen and Heat from Waste Aluminium

Hydroluminum Ltd is a UK-based start-up commercialising a patented Catalytic Water System that converts end-of-life aluminium into three valuable outputs: zero-carbon hydrogen, industrial-grade heat, and aluminium hydroxide.

By using waste aluminium as both the feedstock and energy source, Hydroluminum delivers hydrogen with a negative carbon footprint, while simultaneously addressing the growing challenge of aluminium waste and landfill reduction. The system operates without electrolysers or grid upgrades, enabling efficient, local energy production.

The modular design allows deployment at ports, industrial sites, energy hubs, and off-grid locations, providing on-demand clean hydrogen and heat where it is needed most. Hydroluminum’s solution supports a circular, resilient energy model that combines waste valorisation, decarbonisation, and energy security in a single scalable platform.
