Enhanced Hydrogen Recovery™
How it works:
The lowest cost platform for carbon negative products
-
EHR™ produces syngas (H2 + CO) to surface for easy processing to practically any product with ultra-low CO2 and other emissions
-
H2 and CO are the basic building block of almost all petrochemicals and chemical feedstocks
-
-
Coal is a cheap and abundant, energy dense resource available in many locations around the world
-
Conventional coal combustion is horrible for the environment, releasing huge emissions
-
EHR™ brings only the beneficial gases to surface, leaving most of the carbon in the ground
-
-
Extracting the hydrogen from coal creates enough space to geologically sequester all the CO2 from the surface process,
plus room for CO2 from other sources -
The process requires minimal land or potable water, using horizontal wells to access vast quantities of resource
Practically unlimited scalability
Cv̄ictus will start small and rapidly grow through broad & deep expansion.
We can broaden this technology as we:
-
Start with single 0.5 PJ panel (2,525 tpy of clean H2) operation
-
Rapid 10x expansion of first panel to 5 PJ (28,000 tpy of H2)
-
Add multiple panels
-
Add multiple sites
We can deepen expansion technology as we:
-
Start with simple, relatively low value product—clean H2 and power
-
Add higher value products
-
methanol, ammonia, urea, single cell protein, feedstock for any petrochemical
-
Conventional bolt-ons to syngas production
-
Flexibility through inherent sequestration
-
Carbon sequestration is built into EHR™
-
By removing the H2 we create the space for geological sequestration of CO2
-
-
By adjusting the underground geometry of the panels, EHR™ can be shifted towards material production (clean H2 and chemical feedstocks) or increased carbon sequestration
-
EHR™ panels and pillars are designed and spaced to allow sequestration of all CO2 from our own operations
-
narrow 'pencil' panels can be used to generate only the energy required for compression and injection allowing Cv̄ictus to accept high volumes of third-party CO2 and flue gas for sequestration
