Hydrogen from hazardous waste

by Hydrogen Power on December 19, 2005

ForeverGreen Enterprises Inc., a company headquartered in New Jersey, will be setting up a plant in Indiana that disposes of hazardous waste such as old paint and inks and produces hydrogen in the process. The company will charge a fee for the disposal and sell the hydrogen. The plant could solve two problems at once, environmental waste disposal and hydrogen production. The company is not well known and this will be their first plant, though if it actually works, it will most likely be the first of many.

Multiple waste steams, in multiple physical states (solid, gelatinous, liquid, and gaseous) can be processed simultaneously. No other system can boast of the same level of flexibility. Feedstocks for our PMD™ platforms cover the complete range of wastes and hazardous materials including Acids, Aerosols, Alcohols, Asbestos, Bases, Benzene, Chemicals, Coolants, Drugs, E-Waste, Farm Wastes, Fertilizers, Freon, Greases, Household Hazardous Wastes, Hydrolysates, Infectious Waste, Inks, Lacquers, Lubricants, Medical Waste, Oils and Oily Rags, Paints, PCB's Pesticides, Petrochemicals Pharmaceuticals, Plastics, Poisons, Rubberized Materials, Sharps, Shop Sorbents, Sludges, Solvents, Tires, Universal Wastes, Varnish, VOCs, Waxes, and just about any other non-radioactive material comprising the 279 million tons of regulated wastes produced annually in the US.

Can this actually work? If it does, they are definitely on to something. We'll follow this company for updates and report back.
