Boson Energy and Siemens AG have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate on technology that transforms non-recyclable waste into clean energy. This partnership aims to enhance sustainable, local energy security, supporting hydrogen-powered electric vehicle charging infrastructure while maintaining grid stability and avoiding any impact on consumer prices.
“We are excited to join forces with Siemens in our ambition to make a difference in society and support global decarbonization with our Waste-to-X solution,” said Jan Grimbrandt, CEO of Boson Energy. “Siemens, with its unique capabilities of people and technology, gives Boson Energy ‘unlimited’ capacity to scale and reach markets from Berlin to Delhi and beyond – from day one.” Jan added further.
Siemens provides comprehensive technology solutions for every stage of sector coupling, from initial chemical processes to final charging stations. Its portfolio includes all necessary products, solutions, and services in automation, electrification, and instrumentation. As a technology partner, Siemens will support Boson Energy in developing a blueprint for a scalable and repeatable solution, utilising the latest advancements in digital services and software for optimisation, standardisation, and simulation throughout both the manufacturing and operational phases.
“We look forward to supporting Boson Energy with our portfolio to contribute to a more sustainable circular economy,” said Axel Lorenz, CEO of Process Automation at Siemens Digital Industries. “Digitalization and automation are crucial for building and scaling production capacities – even more so for complex processes such as thermochemical recycling.” Axel concluded.
Combating climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time. Addressing this challenge, Boson Energy contributes to decarbonisation through its distributed production of local energy and chemicals, converting non-recyclable waste into sustainable hydrogen that is cost-competitive with fossil fuels at the point of use. This is achieved by integrating its Hydrogen by Plasma Assisted Gasification (HPAG) technology into an ‘energy hub’ solution, which uniquely harnesses the circular hydrogen potential of waste in a sustainable manner. The hydrogen produced supports off-grid applications like fast charging and enhances the reliability of grid operations.
“The collaboration with Boson Energy represents a significant step forward in our commitment to advancing technologies toward CO₂ reduction,” said Stephan May, CEO of Electrification and Automation at Siemens Smart Infrastructure. “By leveraging the breadth of our comprehensive portfolio, we aim to create a scalable and efficient model for converting waste into clean hydrogen. This collaboration not only addresses the urgent need for local energy security but also contributes to reducing the global carbon footprint, paving the way for a more sustainable future.” Stephan concluded.
Boson Energy is targeting more than 300 plants in order to produce 1 million tons of circular hydrogen from waste by 2030 – avoiding up to 30 million tons of CO₂ emissions per year. Starting in Sweden, Poland, and Germany, then continuing throughout Europe, Boson Energy is aiming for a global presence.
