The core strategy is repurposing major infrastructure—like grid connections, turbines, and cooling systems—while replacing the coal boiler with a clean hydrogen source. Our MeV hydrogen generators would be installed on-site (often in a modular, containerized format) to produce green hydrogen fuel. This hydrogen then feeds retrofitted or new hydrogen-capable turbines or fuel cells to generate electricity, transforming the site into a zero-emission power plant without abandoning its valuable existing assets.
Our MeV technology is a non-electrolysis, low-energy process. Unlike electrolysis, which uses electrical current to split water at high temperatures and pressures (requiring ~50 kWh/kg H₂), MeV uses a controlled photon reaction in water at room temperature and near-atmospheric pressure. It claims to achieve dissociation with far less energy input (~1-2 kWh/kg H₂), directly targets and breaks down pollutants in source water, and produces hydrogen without generating heat or high pressure, enhancing safety and reducing system complexity.
Yes, this is a key advantage. The MeV process is promoted not just for hydrogen production but for simultaneous water renewal. It is designed to break down complex molecular pollutants, heavy metals, and contaminants. Therefore, site water (including processed wastewater or cooling blowdown) can potentially be used as a feed source, reducing freshwater demand and treating problematic discharge streams concurrently with hydrogen production.
Your website cites an aggressive estimated CAPEX recovery within approximately 360 days (roughly one year) of operation. This is predicated on the extremely low operational cost of water or hydrogen production using technology. Continued revenue from selling water or power at competitive rates with greatly reduced operational and maintenance costs.The systems also attract carbon credits.
Replacing traditional, fossil-fuel-powered desalination power plants with a system that achieves a minimum 80% reduction in power consumption, and zero liquid discharge (ZLD) presents a high-value carbon credit opportunity. Based on current projected prices, the estimated value for Technology-Based Removal is $170 - $500 per tonne CO2e.
