Bella Coola HARP Pilot Project

Smarter Solutions for a Clean Energy Future

Hydrogen is the Most Abundant Element in Nature

Sources of hydrogen suitable for CLEARgen™ system:

• By-product hydrogen: Hydrogen created as a by-product of chlor-alkali

production, at carbon monoxide plants & otherchemical production

• Electrolysis from renewable energy sources: Large-scale energy storage using hydrogen

produced during off-peak times

• Steam-reformation of biogas: Renewable bio-gas reformed and purified to hydrogen

• Gasification of Biomass: Converts organic waste to a hydrogen-rich gas

Biomass Feedstock

Biomass Handling

Best solution for high efficiency, low emission power production

• Scalable solution (150kW to multi-MW)

• Cost competitive alternative to diesel gensets in remote communities today

• Flexible feedstock options

Smarter Solutions for a Clean Energy Future

Many Biomass Feedstock Options

Flexible organic waste feedstock options:• Agricultural/forest

residues/underutilized wood, Bamboo, mixed paper waste, wood chips, sawdust, grass hay, straw, miscanthus, tree/lawn waste, corn stover

• Demonstrated program underway in Korea to use treated Municipal Solid Waste as feedstock

Can process moisture levels up to 45% and pieces 1/4” and smaller

Benefits for Local Community

CO2 neutral for a better environment

Methane (CH4 a GHG that is 21x more potent than CO2) is prevented from being released into the atmosphere as a result of natural decomposition

System is also a carbon sequester by trapping some of the carbon within the bio char

Allows community to contribute to the increase in their own standard of living through more reliable power

Creates sustainable, local jobs to manage biomass and maintain the Power Plant
