Converts non-recyclable waste into hydrogen, methanol, and SAF -- eliminating waste logistics and fuel supply vulnerabilities simultaneously.
NATO DIANA 2026 Cohort
Boson Energy's Waste-to-X platform gasifies non-recyclable waste into syngas, then converts it to hydrogen, methanol, ammonia, SAF, or electricity. Founded by Jan Grimbrandt with Prof. Wlodzimierz Blasiak (KTH Royal Institute of Technology). Partnership with Siemens for waste-to-hydrogen integration.
Fuel flexibility -- accepts mixed, unsorted non-recyclable waste (plastic films, textiles, composites). Produces multiple outputs from single feedstock (H2, methanol, SAF, electricity, heat). Siemens partnership provides industrial-grade integration. One of only 6 DIANA Innovators globally -- highest tier of NATO DIANA recognition. Unlike incineration, gasification produces negligible criteria pollutants.
Data centers generate significant waste (decommissioned hardware, packaging, construction debris). Boson can convert that waste stream into on-site hydrogen or electricity, closing the waste loop while generating power. For remote or military data centers, eliminating fuel supply logistics is a strategic advantage.
Waste disposal costs avoided ($50-150/ton) + energy generated = double value capture. Hydrogen production at $3-5/kg from waste (competitive with green H2 from electrolysis at $5-8/kg). On-site generation avoids grid charges and transmission losses. Carbon credits from waste diversion add $10-30/ton value.
TRL 6-7 -- Projects in Sweden, Poland, Israel, and India. Commercial-scale demonstrations underway.
Boson Energy converts non-recyclable waste into hydrogen, methanol, SAF, and electricity via advanced gasification. Siemens partnership validates industrial scale. Named one of only 6 DIANA Innovators globally from 400 applicants. Projects across 4 countries. Eliminates waste disposal costs while generating on-site clean energy. Modular containerized design for rapid deployment.
