There are many signs that the hydrogen revolution is here, and the impact could be massive - especially once an affordable process reaches scale. That’s when it will legitimately be able to compete against fossil fuels and biofuels.

Subcategory

While research is ongoing into alternative ways of producing hydrogen, the two most common methods are steam-methane reforming and electrolysis (split-ting water with electricity).

ZEG’s patented ICCTM Technology belongs to the former. Their plants produce clean hydrogen from hydrocarbon gases while also automatically capturing CO2, for an entirely emissions free production process.

What makes ZEG unique is its patented ZEG ICCTM Technology. Their technology is structured on a module-based plat-form, consisting of a reactor and a fuel cell. This makes it possible for the technology to be used both on a large and small scale, and it can run on both fossil fuel and bio-based fuel. ZEG also offers the BioZEG concept, which is energy production that transforms gasified bio-mass into electricity.

Furthermore, operators can configure hybrid plants, where they can also produce electricity, and adjust output of either electricity or hydrogen, depending on market demand.

On March 8, 2021, Norwegian ZEG Power started a collaboration with Norwegian Bellona to work together to solve climate problems, by making sure that Norway can go global with emissions-free solutions.

As of now, a collaboration with CCB Energy Park at Kollsnes, Vestland, Norway is underway, where ZEG is building its first commercial hydrogen plant.

With the Sustainability report, we want to recognise companies that not only have a great innovation or solution that has a significant impact on lowering CO2 emissions, but also have put in place measures to scale and commercialise.

The companies in the report have been thoroughly researched by the Megadeals team through interviews with highly ranked profiles within the organisations.

The key principle is that only when the great sustainability innovations scale and commercialise they can create a deep impact and the world a better place.

Why is this important? We simply don't have time to wait.
