Millions of years ago dinosaurs and plants ruled the earth. Now, those mighty rulers
are what make up our oil. And it's that oil that helped start amazing advancements in
food production, transportation, industrial enterprises and power distribution. But while
our oil consumption speeds up, our finite natural resources are running out.
It’s simple. We need a better fuel alternative today to keep our world moving tomorrow.
And with the IH2 technology, we do. Developed by GTI and exclusively licensed by CRI Catalyst,
this revolutionary process can now take organic material and common, everyday waste and turn
it into fuel and export steam to keep our world running smoothly.
CRI’s revolutionary IH2 technology is easily adaptable to a wide variety of feedstock,
including algae grown for fuel or nutraceutical applications.
Algae or their post-extractive residues are perfect for the IH2 process because they can
be efficiently grown in mass quantities without harming the environment, and in some instances
are useful to remediate it. Not to mention, the production of algae for food, fuel, or
environmental purposes also absorbs harmful CO2 emissions during the growing cycle. To
prep the algae for the IH2 process, the protein is extracted from the algae and the lipid
/ carbohydrate mash that remains is ready to take the first step in becoming fuel through
the IH2 process. When algae is grown for environmental remediation, the entire algae is used.
First, the IH2 process pre-treats the algae, or biomass, through sizing and drying.
The biomass then enters the hydropyrolysis phase, where a custom-designed catalyst is
present, along with hydrogen, to break carbon-oxygen, carbon-sulfur, and carbon-nitrogen bonds.
Next, light gases react with steam at temperatures of 750-800 degrees Celsius to ultimately produce
renewable hydrogen. Finally, during the hydroconversion phase
the intermediate fuel meets a second custom catalyst and the product is polished in the
fixed bed hydrotreater. While the primary output of the IH2 process
hydrocarbon fuel, such as jet fuel, it also yields valuable steam export and low grade
heat as hot water, which can be useful in continuing to farm algae, along with a green
fertilizer that can be sold commercially. With a fuel that has higher energy content
and a process which is more efficient than competing renewable fuels, the IH2 process
utilizes algae to create food, fuel and environmental solutions in a truly integrated process that
produces minimal waste. IH2 fuel. We’re cleared for take off.
