SHEC LABS and the City of Regina Saskatchewan are
pleased to announce the world's first Solar Hydrogen
production station from landfill gas.
SHEC LABS - 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.
Regina Mayor Pat Fiacco elaborated on the potential benefits at the
November 21st, 2005, City Council Meeting. "I think there
are going to be tremendous spin-offs from this as we move forward,"
said Mayor Fiacco. "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 ... in knowing that this is the vision that this
Council had for this community and the region."
Tom Beck, President and CEO of SHEC LABS said, "This project, 'SHEC
Station #1', when completed will have the capacity of producing 1.2
million kg of renewable hydrogen per year and will prevent 81.1kt of
Carbon Dioxide Equivalent (CO2e) emissions from entering the
atmosphere, every year" Mr. Beck goes on to say, "The life expectancy
of this plant is well over 40 years, in 40 years there will be a new
landfill in this city that we can sequester the methane from to create
renewable energy. Imagine if every city had this insight, the world
would start to become a different place."
"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. It takes vision and looking
outside the box to find solutions to nagging environmental problems and
I feel the City Council of Regina should be commended for having these
qualities."
Hydrogen is seen as "The Fuel Of The Future" by many. 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 #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. It also displaces the use of our
diminishing resources of natural gas for hydrogen production.
