A Clean Energy Enterprises company
EVERY DAY THE WORLD THROWS AWAY THE RAW MATERIAL FOR ITS CLEAN ENERGY FUTURE
Every year:
- Billions of tons of waste are buried or burned
- This waste is an additional cause for global warming
- Communities ship trash thousands of miles
- Recycling is far from being perfect
- Many populations don't even have access to basic trash hauling
- Unmanaged waste pollutes and kills humans, fauna and flora
This isn’t a waste problem. It’s a systems design failure.
In parallel to that, clean hydrogen remains scarce and expensive
Traditional gasification technologies struggle with:
- Contaminants
- Strict feedstock requirements
- Complex pre-sorting
- Inconsistent outputs
- Poor efficiency
A new class of thermochemical processing, converting organic feedstock (biogenic and plastics: 80% of our daily trash) into hydrogen and sustainable carbon-based commodities. A distributed solution for communities of all sizes, effectively reusing 90% of its feedstock materials into marketable, useful products.
Not recycling - Not conventional gasification - Not incineration - Not electrolysis
DECENTRALIZED WASTE-TO-VALUE INFRASTRUCTURE
WAYS2H’S PATENTED REFHYNERY BOASTS THE MOST EFFICIENT CONVERSION OF
MIXED ORGANIC WASTE AND PLASTICS INTO CLEAN HYDROGEN.
PERMANENTLY SEQUESTERING CO2 AS ADDITIONAL COMMODITIES
ENABLING DISTRIBUTED LOCAL WASTE MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS AND DECARBONIZED ENERGY.
Built for Islands, Remote Communities and Waste-Challenged Cities. Some places face the worst combination, and have no viable solution to this problem.
- High fuel costs
- Limited landfill space
- Imported energy
- Growing and unmanageable waste streams
Communities get the opportunity of:
- Reducing landfill use
- Producing local and sustainable hydrogen
- Producing marketable commodities
- Powering vehicles and grids
- Exporting energy instead of importing it
... making it actually circular:
Most circular economy concepts still depend on at least partially global supply chains. The RefHynery localizes that loop. By efficiently using a resource that they no longer destroy or export elsewhere, Communities can transform:
- Trash into hydrogen fuel
- Trash into clean power
- Trash into energy security and resilience
- Trash into green commodities
- Trash into a tool for fighting global warming
- Trash into real GDP value
- Trash into jobs for the skilled and the non-skilled
Waste becomes a local energy infrastructure and sustainability pathway
The RefHynery's process has been specifically designed to address conventional gasifiers' primary challenge, poor tolerance for feedstock quality variations. The RefHynery is inherently stable in its operation parameters, operating virtually regardless of the feedstock's Heating Value, as long as it is chemically organic.
In addition to hydrogen, the RefHynery's direct output product, the carbon and oxygen contained in the feedstock is refined throughout the process and will be converted into various valuable commodities such as ethylene, graphene/graphite, carbonates, concrete additives, baking soda, formic acid, bicarbonate, and more. Selection of the suitable carbon product is done at Project Assessment phase, taking the local market conditions and operation parameters into account.
The process has been designed to optimize the performance of existing, well-known industrial technology bricks, arranged in an innovative, breakthrough architecture. The effectiveness of the Vapolyser + Reformer core has been demonstrated, yielding a record 110kg hydrogen per dry ton feedstock. All other ancillary components (gas cleaning, purification and separation, feedstock preprocessing, downstream hydrogen compression and dispensing) are well-known and proven off-the-shelf solutions that we integrate into built systems at engineering and construction phase.
The process has been tested and operated with synthetic Municipal Solid Waste, a mix of plastics, wood and other cellulose-based elements, and other biogenic matter in a metered proportion.
Ways2H provides end-to-end project support, starting from Project Assessment and Concept followed by Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and then Commissioning and post-delivery operation. We also strongly recommend maintenance and remote monitoring contracts, to ensure continued reliable operation.
Initial discussions, site selection, and logistics assessment.
Project and process assessment, go/no-go decisions.
Detailed engineering, procurement and construction. Commissioning and delivery follow.
The RefHynery is designed for a 30 years+ life with proper maintenance, and operation conditions. Ways2H partners with reputable EPC firms and favors local manufacturing and assembly, supervised jointly by Ways2H and local teams.
Ways2H is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Clean Energy Enterprises, present in the United States (California), in the European Union (France) and in India. We engineer, build and sell systems that process waste into hydrogen and carbon products, supporting circular economy outcomes, climate remediation and local energy independence.
The team has a 60+ years cumulative experience in gasification, hydrogen, and chemical processing across USA, Japan, Europe, China, India and more.
RefHyneries produce commodities that address various markets such as clean mobility, ammonia production, industrial hydrogen, on-site power for buildings and battery charging.
Municipal solid waste, biomass, medical waste, food waste, plastics, wood, paper, and landfill-bound recyclables.
