Low Carbon Bio + Synthetic Fuels

Commercialization and Scale Up of a Novel Low-Cost Waste-to-Fuel Solution

THE PROBLEM

As BC and Canada move towards our Net-Zero goals, one of the major issues in achieving these goals is cost prohibitive older technology that isn’t financially feasible for many projects, including biogas facilities that continue to flare their gases instead of upgrading to Renewable Natural Gas (RNG). The flared biogas increases GHG emissions due to the methane release.

THE SOLUTION

Hydron Energy’s Intensified Regenerative Upgrading Platform Technology (INTRUPTor™) system is a disruptive solution that converts raw gases into clean refined fuel. The compact system will provide significant cost-savings over conventional gas-upgrading technologies.

This CICE-funded project will scale up, build, and deploy our system at the Wastewater Treatment Plant in Prince George, BC and will lower GHG emissions by upgrading the biogas to RNG instead of flaring it.

  • “The high cost of biogas upgrading is an obstacle on the renewable natural gas development path. The INTRUPTor™ was developed at Hydron’s facility in North Vancouver, B.C., Canada to reduce the cost significantly. With the grant from CICE Hydron will be able to scale up this disruptive technology by orders of magnitude to service the conventional biogas upgrading market. “
