Canadian city will use landfill gas to power a hydrogen station
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
In Canada, Electricnet.com reports that Solar Hydrogen Energy Corporation will launch the world's first Solar Hydrogen production station with methane collected from city landfills.
Solar Hydrogen Energy Corporation, 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, will deploy the world's first Solar Hydrogen production station using methane, an environmentally damaging greenhouse gas expelled from our city landfills.
With the technology and processes developed and now being commercialized by SHEC LABS, a value added method of hydrogen production will be demonstrated.
The City of Regina's city council unanimously approved this revolutionary project for the city's Fleet Street Landfill.
"It's more than just capturing methane gas from the landfill, it's much bigger than us and I think our grandchildren will be very appreciative ...
"This is a very important piece of a global environmental puzzle that will now be showcased in the city of Regina," said Ray Fehr, Vice President of Marketing for SHEC LABS.
"This technology is a stepping stone that can change the way energy will be produced in the future and ultimately the way we all live our lives.
When Hydrogen is used in a fuel cell to create electricity it combines with oxygen from the air and the only by-product is pure water.
Hydrogen is a main component in gasoline, fertilizer production, hydrogenating edible fats and oils and host of other industries.
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.
