Taking organic carbon-based biomass waste and repurposing it into value added commodities that offset virgin mineral oil projects
- During operation (24/7), there are no discharges from the closed s e-Pyro® [3] system.
- This continuous e-Pyro® [3] thermochemical treatment captures & removes harmful contaminants & toxins,
stopping them from going into the atmosphere or landfill. - The energy for heating is electrically generated onsite, from less than 15% of the produced syngas.
- There is NO combustion with this oxygen-free thermochemical decomposition process.
- The e-Pyro® [3] plant is a closed system that has NO emissions.
- Green hydrogen is the only type produced in a climate-neutral manner
Assumptions
- There are large volumes of plastic going to landfill.
- For plastic, landfills are not carbon sinks within GHGE analysis standard methods. Therefore the purposing of plastic to any product that offsets mineral oil use is a mitigated use reduction in GHGE.
- Systems that reduce new carbon inputs, e.g. by replacing mineral oil products have GHGE reduction potential.
- Many recyclable plastics can’t be recycled due to contamination.
- Plastic waste does not require cleaning, as the H2 e-Pyro® [3] system’s high temperature closed system breaks contamination down into molecular components.
- Organic dyes are chemically decomposed while halides and rare earth components can be collected from the syngas or char outputs.

H2&e’s Five Divisions
Division 1
Professional Services – Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) is a systematic set of procedures for compiling and examining the inputs and outputs of materials and energy.
Division 2
Logistics Division – A strategic alliance has been established with the WasteCo group, for the collection & transportation of waste & recyclables in both metropolitan & rural areas, back to the e-Pyro® [3] processing sites.
Division 3
Repurposing Waste into Sustainable Clean Energy – The electric e-Pyro® [3] system continuously processes organic carbon-based waste into energy products such as hydrogen, electricity & bio-coal. Green Hydrogen production from renewable sustainable resources, & electricity that does not use either fossil fuel, or natural gas.
Division 4
Bio-coal from forest timber is a sustainable, renewable & clean source of fuel. The H2&e e-Pyro®[3] system is a low -temperature pyrolysis processing system, using torrefaction and carbonization to produce high-quality calorific fuel at LHV (low heating value) 21 to 29 MJ/kg (mega-Joule per kilogram).
Syngas gas produced during the process can be used for pre-drying of wood biomass and to power the plant.
This fuel (biomass), is suitable as a coal replacement in furnaces such as power stations & food production.
Small, decentralised e-Pyro® plants situated in the forest, that are scalable tomeet large volume requirements.
These e-Pyro® units are fully self-contained for their own energy requirements, are transportable, and can be moved to new logging sites. This minimizes transport distances, & lends itself to multiple distributed processing sites that guarantees certainty of continuous delivery.
Forthcoming projects in South-East Asia will be announced soon.
