Hydro-Oxy and Addible Develop Innovative In-Situ Hydrogen Peroxide Production Technologies
Hydro-Oxy and Addible are advancing hydrogen peroxide (HO) production technologies to address environmental and efficiency issues. Hydro-Oxy's process utilizes a palladium-based catalyst to generate HO in-situ from dilute hydrogen and oxygen, achieving yields close to 100% and reducing costs and energy consumption. Addible focuses on using tetramethyloxolane (TMO) as a green solvent to stabilize HO and improve reaction efficiency, aiming to simplify organic processes. Both companies are collaborating with industrial partners to scale their technologies.

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.
