Fairchild International is planning two projects to generate hydrogen.
The first takes leftovers from the Alberta Tar Sands recovery process and uses them to generate hydrogen. The input is shredded rubber or petroleum coke and the output is hydrogen.
The second project, also in Alberta, Canada, uses wood waste products to generate hydrogen.
Interesting here is the combination of technologies, recovering oil from tar sands and generating hydrogen from what would normally be leftover waste.
"Present extraction technologies leave a lot of energy in the discarded sands and byproducts. We can use those discards and squeeze even more energy out of them, while leaving a much cleaner discarded byproduct,"
"Technologies to mine the energy from Oil Sands are developing at an incredibly rapid rate as the rate of discovery of traditional oil sources declines. We are fortunate to be on the cusp of another emerging technology that allows us to profit from waste while improving the environment," commented Robert Klein, President of Fairchild International Corp.
