We produce a suite of zero emissions resources, available locally
Zero emissions hydrogen
Zero emissions Grade A hydrogen is produced locally utilising renewable power and Hydrogen-capable Plasma Assisted Gasification (HPAG) technology diverting non-recyclable waste from landfill.
Hydrogen is available to produce renewable power on site or to fuel or charge Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEV) at suitable spaced Sub.Zero refuelling stations. Below net zero, climate positive, hydrogen outcomes are delivered through limiting the up and downstream supply linkages and energy losses in the hydrogen value chain.
Illustratively, we estimate the hydrogen carbon intensity from production, or “Well to Gate”, at negative 10.0 kg CO2e per kg of hydrogen.
All this combines to enable cost effective, Grade A hydrogen to be produced, delivered and used locally with today’s technology.
Green methanol
All carbon emissions produced by the HPAG process are captured. Typically, municipal solid waste streams are greater contain greater than 75% organic material, resulting in a majority mix of biogenic carbon dioxide.
Green methanol is produced from combining the hydrogen and carbon dioxide in order to efficiently transport the hydrogen to Sub.Zero hydrogen dispensing stations.
Methanol as the preferred hydrogen carrier is simple, available now, easily stored, and transportable as a liquid. It has the highest efficiency and hydrogen to carbon ratio of liquid fuels combined with the lowest CO2e and $/MJ impacts.
Combined this results in minimal truck movements to transport the hydrogen to nearby where it is to be used.
Illustratively, we estimate the hydrogen carbon intensity from distribution, or “Gate to Point”, at 1.8 kg CO2e per kg of hydrogen.
Renewable power
Utilising renewable power in an efficient and effective way to locally produce and distribute a range of Zero Emissions Resources (Sub.Zero) will play a critical role in accelerating our climate transition towards net zero.
Zero emissions resources that are available to hard to abate sectors are essential.
Green hydrogen that also doubles to provide locally sourced on demand grid power, micro-grid capacity, fast charging power to vehicles and balance to the grid.
Utilising methanol, renewable power is capable to be stored and consumed when it is needed acts to destress the upgrades of our electricity infrastructure.
IMBYROCK®
Closing the loop with IMBYROCK® zero ash is an important part of Boson Energy’s ‘no waste left behind’ technology. Ash is vitrified into IMBYROCK® construction material. This ready-to-use material represents some 1% to 3% of the volume and 10% of the weight of the waste feed and has been independently confirmed for environmentally friendly use as a construction substitute material.
HPAG delivers a distinct environmental advantage over conventional waste incineration that produces ash of between 25% to 30% of the original weight of the waste.
Boson Energy foresees further upcycling of the IMBYROCK® glass material into a wide range of higher value products.
