6. Hydrogen is the Most Abundant Element in Nature
Sources of hydrogen suitable for CLEARgen™
system:
• By-product hydrogen
: Hydrogen created as a by-product of chlor-alkali
production, at carbon monoxide plants & other
chemical production
• Electrolysis from renewable energy sources
: Large-scale energy storage using hydrogen
produced during off-peak times
• Steam-reformation of biogas
: Renewable bio-gas reformed and purified to hydrogen
• Gasification of Biomass
: Converts organic waste to a hydrogen-rich gas
stream

8. Many Biomass Feedstock Options
Flexible organic waste feedstock
options:
• Agricultural/forest
residues/underutilized wood,
Bamboo, mixed paper waste, wood
chips, sawdust, grass hay, straw,
miscanthus, tree/lawn waste, corn
stover
• Demonstrated program underway in
Korea to use treated Municipal Solid
Waste as feedstock
Can process moisture levels up to

10. Benefits for Local Community
CO2 neutral for a better environment
Methane (CH4 a GHG that is 21x more potent than CO2) is
prevented from being released into the atmosphere as a
result of natural decomposition
System is also a carbon sequester by trapping some of the
carbon within the bio char
Allows community to contribute to the increase in their
own standard of living through more reliable power
Creates sustainable, local jobs to manage biomass and
maintain the Power Plant

13. Banifits from Fuel Cells & Biomass
Fuel cells will be an important part
of the future alternative energy mix
Key environmental advantages
provided by Fuel Cells over
incumbent technologies
Biomass can provide clean energy
fuel source for Fuel Cells

Notes de l'éditeur
first set of bullet points refer to air quality requirements for the lower mainland, and this gasifier exceeds these requirements. co2 neutral, just means all the CO2 released by the system is the same amount fixed by the biomass during it's lifetime. this next point just says, one should utilize biomass for energy because if you leave it in the field, it will decompoe into CH4, and this is 21x worse than CO2 in terms of GHG. this last point is suggesting that some analyses have shown that some of the carbon is trapped in the biochar, never to be released again, so this means this porcess is slightly co2 negative, sequester's some of the carbon.
