RENEWABLE & GREEN ENERGY
clean energy reaches its end use . On a chemical technology level , we have a highly-efficient patented proprietary method to pull carbon – as a solid , not a gas – from hydrocarbons , leaving behind only hydrogen . An electricallypowered system , this technology works synergistically with the growth of renewables to provide clean energy , broadly and at any scale using existing energy system infrastructure .”
The flexibility of The ETCH Process , Jonah claims , is one of its biggest strengths . It ’ s a modular system that easily integrates within existing infrastructure , so can be used to decarbonise all energy sectors – including some of the most carbon-intensive ones – and can be implemented anywhere with access to natural gas . Power plants , boilers , mining , metals processing and transportation are just a few of the areas where this solution can be employed .
“ Hydrogen has the potential to fundamentally revolutionise the way we generate and use energy to deliver drastic reduction in carbon emissions across economic sectors ,” Jonah says . “ ETCH is at the forefront of capturing that potential most efficiently and cost-effectively through our decarbonisation technology .
“ It ’ s important to remember that the large drop in domestic carbon dioxide emissions over the past decade or two was driven by the availability of inexpensive natural gas displacing coal . We see the synergistic growth of renewables and natural gas
combining in The ETCH Process to continue this trend , eliminating the combustion of carbon from the energy ecosystem . With our technology implemented widely while leveraging existing infrastructure – not forgetting the need to plug upstream leaks of natural gas – we foresee significant reductions in emissions inside of a decade , not decades in the future .”
Paige shares Jonah ’ s sentiments and positive outlook to the future . She , along with Javier and Jonah , sees tremendous potential for hydrogen in both the energy and industrial sectors and , despite some challenges presented , can see it prevailing as a clean energy source .
