Company
ZeroPoint Clean Tech, Inc. builds the world's best biomass gasifiers and deploys them around the world to make renewable energy and sequester carbon. ZeroPoint has developed a portfolio of distributed biomass energy solutions. Our core technology is a highly efficient biomass gasification reactor that converts biomass into renewable synthesis gas. ZeroPoint's modular multi-feedstock process equipment is built to U.S. and international codes and is priced to create highly attractive renewable energy project economics.
The ZeroPoint Renewable Gas Solution is designed to produce synthesis gas for use in steam boilers, combustion plant co-firing, process heat and other thermal loads. The ZeroPoint Renewable CHP Solution includes on-board gas scrubbing and is designed to power a reciprocating engine for use in distributed generation and combined heat and power projects. The ZeroPoint Biomass to Water & Electricity Solution is an off-grid application that converts small amounts of biomass into purified water and electricity. ZeroPoint is also developing a modular gas-to-liquids technology solution utilizing a Fischer-Tropsch conversion process. For further information about each of these technologies please click on the "applications" tab at the top of this page or the highlighted links above. The company is currently deploying its Renewable CHP Solution into combined heat and power projects in the United Kingdom. ZeroPoint has established joint venture relationships in Northern Europe, The U.K., South America, and Southeast Asia. We are now actively developing distributed biomass energy projects in North America as well. ZeroPoint renewable energy technologies can deliver carbon-neutral synthesis gas, electricity, heat, liquid fuels and clean water solutions to communities around the world.

ZeroPoint Clean Tech Powers European Grid, Produces Carbon-Negative Heat and Power
Base Load Electricity from Biomass also Creates Useable Heat and Sequesters Carbon
Capital Investment on Available Capacity Comparatively Lower than Solar and Wind January 3, 2012 ZeroPoint Clean Tech, Inc. (ZeroPoint) today announced that its biomass gasification solution produced carbon negative heat and power for the last half-month of its 2011 operations in Germany. The carbon negative process utilizes biomass to create renewable gas and yields biochar as a co-product. Biochar is a highly stable form of sequestered carbon with multiple uses in agriculture and industry. Renewable gas from the ZeroPoint solution is burned in a gas engine to produce power for the local utility grid. The German project delivered power to the local grid for the last two weeks of 2011 operations that was sold pursuant to the German "Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetz", (Renewable Energy Act). The gas and engine also produce useable heat. The ZeroPoint Solution can be deployed to produce renewable synthesis gas used in reciprocating engines, steam boilers, thermal applications, or co-firing with coal, oil, biogas or biomass. "The last half month of continuous operation and power sales are an important milestone in demonstrating reliability," said CEO, John Gaus. "We fully expect to show higher throughputs and reliabilities and prove attractive project economics in the coming year." The Company intends to deploy a small number of turnkey plants in 2012 with knowledgeable adopters and for the purposes of jointly optimizing its solution for economic and environmental benefit in strategic market sectors. Those targets include; 1) municipal water treatment plants that can effectively consume base load power and heat as well as blend sludge with biomass, 2) remote markets that generate high cost electricity with diesel fuel and 3) landfill gas power plants where power output can be supplemented with renewable gas. "Biomass technologies are fundamentally differentiated from wind and solar technologies," said Company Chairman, John Blend. Traditional wind and solar voltaic power are intermittent with weather and nightfall whereas biomass projects are intended to deliver base load energy and integrate easier with utility grids. As the reliability of biomass technologies increases, their cost per available kWh installed will become much lower than that of discontinuous wind or solar power. In addition, the ZeroPoint Solution sequesters carbon with the production of biochar. Visit ZeroPoint Clean Tech at www.zeropointcleantech.com |
