Boson Energy and Siemens AG signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to facilitate collaboration on technology that converts non-recyclable waste into clean energy. The collaboration aims to advance sustainable, local energy security, enabling hydrogen-powered electric vehicle charging infrastructure without compromising grid stability or impacting consumer prices.

Boson Energy contributes toward decarbonization with its distributed production of local energy and chemicals—turning non-recyclable waste into a sustainable hydrogen that is cost-competitive to fossil fuels at point of use.

It does this by integrating its Hydrogen by Plasma Assisted Gasification (HPAG) technology into an energy hub solution that realizes the important circular hydrogen potential of waste in a uniquely sustainable way. The hydrogen produced can support off-grid applications such as fast charging and facilitates more reliable grid operations.

Boson Energy has developed an integrated proprietary reactor where drying, slow pyrolysis, gasification, and vitrification happen with a slow temperature gradient and driven by gravity rather than moving parts. This gives the technology the ability to deliver syngas with high quality and stability, despite variations in waste composition and quality. As a last step, Boson applies plasma vitrification to the ash, to reach a true circular end of waste with zero residues.

The plasma assists the gasification rather than driving it directly. This minimizes carbon combustion in the process, resulting in a higher hydrogen yield than other approaches.

Siemens offers technology for every step of sector coupling, from initial chemical processes to the final charging stations. Its portfolio covers all required products, solutions, and services in automation, electrification, and instrumentation. As a technology partner, Siemens will assist Boson Energy in building a blueprint to create a scalable and repeatable solution, by applying the latest technology within digital services and software for optimization, standardization, and simulation during both the manufacturing and operational phases. 

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.
