Solar Hydrogen Energy Corporation will deploy the world’s first Solar Hydrogen production station in Regina, Canada, using methane, an environmentally damaging greenhouse gas expelled from our city landfills, with its partners, Giffels Associates Limited (Ingenium) and Clean 16 Environmental Technologies and in conjunction with the University of Toronto Department of Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry.
Tom Beck, President and CEO of SHEC LABS said, “This project, ‘SHEC Station No. 1’, when completed will have the capacity of producing 1.2 million kg of renewable hydrogen per year and will prevent 81.1kt of Carbon Dioxide Equivalent (CO2e) emissions from entering the atmosphere, every year.” Mr. Beck goes on to say, “The life expectancy of this plant is well over 40 years, in 40 years there will be a new landfill in this city that we can sequester the methane from to create renewable energy.”
Today the most common method of hydrogen production is the steam reformation of our depleting supplies of natural gas causing greenhouse gases to be exposed to our atmosphere. The technology to be demonstrated at “SHEC Station No. 1” in Regina solves numerous problems such as the destruction of harmful greenhouse gasses as well as the production of clean, green, high purity, renewable hydrogen.
