Renewable gaseous energy vectors have the potential to compliment the current dependence on natural gas which currently supports the heating sector.
Renewable hydrogen and methane fit with the existing distribution next work thereby easing market entry
The amount of household and commercailly waste continues to increase annually.
Waste mantagement is recognised as essentail achieve sustainable development. Recognising the need to eliminate dependence on land the UK have set targets to increase the percentage of wasete that is recovered and recycled.
The company will produce electricity, recycled materials and carbon neutral gaseous and liquid energy vectors.
The company is focused on producing renewable carbon neutral gaseous and liquid energy vectors. Specifically the company will produce hydrogen, methane and formic acid, an emerging hydrogen carrier.
Renewable green gaseous energy vectors supports the decarbonisation of the transport sector specifically when coupled to fuel cells (FCEV). Initially the focus will be road transport, but increasingly aviation is demonstration the feasibility of using fuel cell technology and therefore a green clean sector.

Hydrogen, as an energy carrier as well as a feedstock, is one of the main pillars of energy transformation necessary to cope with the two-degree Celsius scenario towards climate change mitigation.The emerging hydrogen economy, defined as the use of hydrogen to replace today's hydrocarbon economy, is projected to have significant impact on the heating and transport sectors.
The material recovery facility will generate residual waste i.e. material that cannot be recycled.
To avoid the material being sent to landfill it will converted to electicity via small scale incineration.
Therefore power will be produced from recycled carbon fuels and exported to the grid
Waste material will be sorted to recover a range of materials, e.g plastics and fibres.The plastics of varying types, will be upgraded via washing, flacking and or ground so as to met the required specification for the material sector. Thereby supporting the incorporation of recyled material back into plastics and and reducing the need for virgin materials.
Renewable methane can support decarbonisation of the transport sector, in particular heavy goods vehicles.
As a fuel compressed renewable methane is particularly suitable for use in commercial vehicles including trucks, buses and vans and provides the benefits for operators/ owners of these vehicles through the reduction of harmful emissions. The chemical properties of compressed renewable methane compared to diesel contain significantly less polluting and harmful substances as outlined below:
Hydrogen (H2) is considered a promising alternative for intermediate energy storage. It is expected to play a crucial role as a secondary fuel and energy carrier in the new energy system. The hydrogen economy will not materialize until significant technological advances in H2 production, storage, and delivery systems are made. The liquid hydrogen carrier, formic acid (FA), is becoming an attractive choice. Although FA contains only 4.4 wt % H2, because of its high density of 1.22 g/cm3 , its volumetric capacity reaches 53 g H2/L. This is equivalent to an energy density of 1.77 kW·h/L, which exceeds those of commercial 70 MPa hydrogen pressure tanks (e.g., 1.4 kW·h/L for the Toyota Mirai)
The demand for electricity is increasing. Th UK power generation sector continues to diverisify, with renewable energy sources replacing dependnece on fossil fuel.
Solar, on shore and off shore represents a growing proportion of renewable energy. The company supports the utilsation of residual waste as part of an enhanced waste mangement
