The City of Regina's city council unanimously approved this
revolutionary project for the city's Fleet Street Landfill.
(PRWEB) December 7, 2005 -- SHEC LABS - Solar Hydrogen Energy
Corporation, with its partners, Giffels Associates Limited (Ingenium)
and Clean 16 Environmental Technologies and in conjunction with the
University of Toronto Department of Chemical Engineering and Applied
Chemistry, will deploy the world's first Solar Hydrogen production
station using methane, an environmentally damaging greenhouse gas
expelled from our city landfills. With the technology and processes
developed and now being commercialized by SHEC LABS, a value added
method of hydrogen production will be demonstrated. The City of
Regina's city council unanimously approved this revolutionary project
for the city's Fleet Street Landfill.
Regina Mayor Pat Fiacco elaborated on the potential benefits at the
November 21st, 2005, City Council Meeting. "I think there are going
to be tremendous spin-offs from this as we move forward," said Mayor
Fiacco. "It's more than just capturing methane gas from the
landfill, it's much bigger than us and I think our grandchildren will
be very appreciative ... in knowing that this is the vision that this
Council had for this community and the region."
Tom Beck, President and CEO of SHEC LABS said, "This project, "SHEC
Station #1", when completed will have the capacity of producing 1.2
million kg of renewable hydrogen per year and will prevent 81.1kt of
Carbon Dioxide Equivalent (CO2e) emissions from entering the
atmosphere, every year!" Mr. Beck goes on to say, "The life
expectancy of this plant is well over 40 years, in 40 years there will
be a new landfill in this city that we can sequester the methane from
to create renewable energy. Imagine if every city had this insight, the
world would start to become a different place."
"This is a very important piece of a global environmental puzzle that
will now be showcased in the city of Regina," said Ray Fehr, Vice
President of Marketing for SHEC LABS. "This technology is a stepping
stone that can change the way energy will be produced in the future and
ultimately the way we all live our lives. It takes vision and looking
outside the box to find solutions to nagging environmental problems and
I feel the City Council of Regina should be commended for having these
qualities."
Hydrogen is seen as "The Fuel Of The Future" by many. When Hydrogen
is used in a fuel cell to create electricity it combines with oxygen
from the air and the only by-product is pure water. Hydrogen is a main
component in gasoline, fertilizer production, hydrogenating edible fats
and oils and host of other industries. Today the most common method of
hydrogen production is the steam reformation of our depleting supplies
of natural gas causing greenhouse gases to be exposed to our
atmosphere. The technology to be demonstrated at "SHEC Station #1"
in Regina solves numerous problems such as the destruction of harmful
green house gasses as well as the production of clean, green, high
purity, renewable hydrogen. It also displaces the use of our
diminishing resources of natural gas for hydrogen production.
