Biodrome
Technology
The Biodrome uses methanol and de-ionized water to generate fuel cell spec hydrogen. The technology was designed and scaled to be placed on-site at fueling stations - where the hydrogen is needed.
Biodrome technology decentralizes the production of hydrogen - avoiding the need to build and deploy expensive transportation infrastructure for high-pressure hydrogen transport.
Modular &
Scalable Design
Your hydrogen demand might be just enough to get started or enough to fuel a whole fleet. You might use a small amount of hydrogen today and need a lot for tomorrow. We get it and we have options to suit your needs.

24/7
24/7 production capabilities paired with excess storage capacity allows you to quickly respond to shifts in demand.
24/7 remote unit monitoring ensures optimal unit performance and peace of mind.
Remote hydrogen generation
Our Biodrome Technology uses a blend of methanol and de-ionized water to generate fuel-cell spec hydrogen.
The Biodrome performs catalytic reformation of a methanol/water blend to produce low GHG hydrogen on-site where it is needed
Currently-available methanol results in full lifecycle GHG reductions of >40% as compared to diesel and >69% as compared to gasoline. There are GHG reductions of >21% as compared to grey hydrogen.
The pathway to ZERO emissions uses negative carbon intensity feedstocks, such as renewable natural gas (RNG)
Since methanol is the feed stock, the fueling stations can readily provide fuel to both hydrogen-powered and methanol-powered vehicles.
Biodrome hydrogen generation can supply hydrogen to its own dispensing equipment and to “neighborhood” fueling stations, reducing the reliance on imported hydrogen from non-local suppliers.
Methanol is more easily transported, stored and handled than high pressure hydrogen or ammonia.
Why Methanol?
1
Hydrogen from methanol has been shown to reduce GHG emissions by greater than 69% compared to gasoline, 45% compared to diesel, and 25% compared to conventional hydrogen sources.
2
Methanol is readily transported today without the need for high-pressure hydrogen tube trailers. This improves transportation efficiency, reduces GHG from transportation and shifts to methanol as the hydrogen carrier: a readily available, widely transported fuel.
3
Hydrogen generated on-site reduces reliance on off-site hydrogen suppliers, network outages, and other supply problems. This encourages adoption greatly, offering companies a solution today that makes significant impact in reducing their carbon footprint.
Diesel vs. Hydrogen
Our Biodrome Technology and methanol supply chain services reduce GHG emissions by 44% - 70%. Our fuel cell technology produces zero hydrocarbons that impact air quality (such as unburnt fuel, particulates, carbon monoxide etc.), and zero NOx and zero SOx.
The following chart (fig. 1) compares Azolla Hydrogen to the industry baseline (diesel). Our emissions are only 55% of the baseline emissions, saving a minimum 45% emissions, while providing the same level of service (both fleets travel a total distance of 1.46 million kms).
