Emerald Green Hydrogen Production
Unlike other fuel sources, hydrogen releases water when used, making it an emission-free fuel. Using green hydrogen production for electric cars, buses, trucks, or trains can help “de-carbonize” our energy system and substantially enhance urban air quality as it does not release any carbon or nitrogen contaminants. Additionally, hydrogen can supplement diesel or natural gas energy sources, helping to decrease environmental emissions.
The critical factor to successfully advance the hydrogen economy is establishing an efficient system for generating and distributing hydrogen at a price that can compete with carbon-based fuels. Producing and distributing hydrogen locally reduces capital and distribution costs, enabling it to be offered at a competitive price with gasoline, diesel, and natural gas.
Emerald Green Hydrogen™ adds Ontario’s energy production by providing locally produced and distributed energy supply. Its high quality and competitive price make it ideal for powering fuel cell electric vehicles or supplementing carbon-based fuels, such as diesel, natural gas, or propane.
Emerald Green Hydrogen is produced with renewable energy. Emerald recovers energy from municipal solid waste in the form of steam, heat, electricity, and hydrogen. These energy products return value to the businesses and residents of our community.
Revolutionizing Transportation Through Green Hydrogen Production
Commercially accessible hydrogen can help de-carbonize the transportation sector, improving its sustainability and significantly reducing pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions from buses, trucks, trains and automobiles. As hydrogen fuel use increases, emissions of nitrogen oxides, volatile carbon compounds, fine particulate matter, and greenhouse gases will decrease, thereby enhancing urban air quality.
Hydrogen is a viable option today for zero-emission electric vehicles, as fuel cell buses, trucks, trains, and cars are now fully developed and commercially available.
Additionally, creating hybrid fuels by using hydrogen to supplement carbon-based fuels is more efficient and produces fewer emissions. The use of hybrid fuels in existing vehicles can serve as a bridge between current fleets and future hydrogen-powered fleets.
Emerald Green Hydrogen can facilitate the transition into the hydrogen economy by offering a locally sourced, competitively priced hydrogen supply. A dependable source of hydrogen will promote the adoption of hybrid fuels and contribute to the expansion of new hydrogen-powered vehicles.
Emerald Green Hydrogen is a form of Ontario energy production, making it local. It is produced within the Greater Toronto Area and available for distribution to area businesses.
Emerald produces Emerald Green Hydrogen using renewable energy recovered from municipal solid waste in the form of steam, heat, electricity, and hydrogen. These energy products return value to the businesses and residents of our community.
Environmentally Friendly Ontario Energy Production
Sustainable communities have a structured approach to managing their waste products, employing a hierarchy that focuses on extracting value from materials that otherwise have no worth. This hierarchy leverages economic remnants through a combination of 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) initiatives and energy recovery processes. By extracting value in this manner, communities maximize the economic, environmental, and social benefits from the resources and energy they consume.
Emerald Green Hydrogen is derived from a renewable source – the non-recyclable fraction of municipal solid waste. The energy we recover benefits the community by providing low-carbon energy products such as steam, heat, electricity and hydrogen to power our businesses and homes. Rather than competing, the 3Rs and energy-from-waste systems complement each other. The 3Rs programs work in tandem to obtain benefits from high-value residues and harness the embodied energy contained within low-value residues.
Emissions from energy recovery are carefully monitored and controlled. Ontario has some of the most stringent, health-based emission criteria that protect our communities.
Sharing the Advantages of Green Hydrogen Production
Energy from Waste eases the pressure on traditional energy grids, reduces carbon emissions, and fosters local employment opportunities, thereby benefiting society, driving economic growth, and promoting innovation. Simultaneously, it reduces waste sent to landfills, alleviates environmental pollution and carbon emissions, improves air quality, and ultimately enhances the overall well-being of communities. This approach to waste management delivers economic, environmental, and social benefits, making green hydrogen production from energy recovery a pivotal solution for a sustainable and resilient future.
