Hydro-Oxy, based in the Cardiff Catalysis Institute, UK, is innovating hydrogen peroxide (HO) production using a palladium-based catalyst to convert dilute hydrogen and oxygen into HO in-situ, achieving nearly 100% yields and reducing costs by up to 15%. The company is scaling its technology, partnered with Johnson Matthey and conducting experiments at a 20-litre scale in Beijing.

Addible, a spin-out from the University of York, proposes using tetramethyloxolane (TMO) as a green solvent to stabilize HO, improving organic reactions. Both companies aim to enhance efficiency and safety in chemical processes.
