Atlantic Hydrogen - The CarbonSaver Company
Imagine a device that takes carbon out of natural gas, the cleanest fossil fuel. Using a plasma charge, it breaks apart the carbon and hydrogen found in the gas’s most abundant compound, methane. After the charge, a certain amount of solid carbon falls and a hydrogen-enriched natural gas [HENG] passes through the device. CO2 emissions: zero. Called CarbonSaver, it can be scaled for uses as large as power plants, and as small as household heating systems.
Starting with a scientific theory and the passion of one entrepreneur, Atlantic Hydrogen was born after cable television pioneer Bill Stanley engaged a team of applied researchers at the University of New Brunswick. Our original investment in 2006 helped the company develop and test the first CarbonSaver device.
Since then, the company has attracted over $16 million in investments from a variety of organizations and individuals, including natural gas producers EnCana and Emera. A strategic partnership with industrial giant Rosetti Marino will see the construction of the first full-scale CarbonSaver-equipped HENG power generation plant.
Natural gas is basically carbon and hydrogen stuck together. When it’s burned it releases carbon dioxide that’s harmful to the atmosphere. What if you could take some of the carbon out before it’s burned? That’s what Atlantic Hydrogen does with their CarbonSaver technology.
