Where: Las Cruces New Mexico  at the Jacob A Hands Municipal Wastewater Facility

.

Status:  Project is in the initial planning stages, no proposal has been submitted yet.

Project description: The project plan concept is to retrofit existing anaerobic digesters to generate renewable electricity.  This would be combined with an algal wastewater treatment to produce ultrapure water. 

Purpose: New Mexico is keen to produce clean hydrogen. This project will provide renewable energy and ultrapure water needed to produce green hydrogen fuel  Read More 

Where: Kilauea Kauai County at the Kilauea Community Agricultural Center

Status: Pending funding, Board of Directors approval, Negotiating facility use agreement. Permitting scope of work submitted for review and approval to farm management. 

Project description:  The project will process food, sewage, and agriculture waste to produce electricity, hydrogen and fertilizers.  

Purpose: The farm is interested in piloting a Microbial Energy System and plans to use the energy generated to lower operational costs and treat waste . They are looking for a zero-discharge waste treatment system that produces energy for fuels. 

Where: Pearl Harbor Oahu, Hawaii

Status: Pending further discussions and decisions from HCATT. No proposal has been submitted. Discussions are in very early stages.

Project description.  If discussions are successful, the project would use mixed waste (food and sewage) to produce hydrogen.

Purpose: HCATT is developing a hydrogen microgrid for the armed forces located in Hawaii. The Department of Defense has a need to decentralize power for national security.  

project. 

Where: Port of New Orleans, Louisiana

Status: Negotiating MOU with GNO, Inc. & Port of New Orleans. Discussions are in the very early stages

Project description.  The project will use mixed waste from a brewery with condiment food waste and sewage as raw materials to produce hydrogen for the H2thefuture initiative.

Purpose: New Orleans has a need to produce green hydrogen to provide energy for industries. The H2thefuture initiative will team GELF Energy with the University of New Orleans. GELF Energy will provide ammonia to power a tug boat being developed by UNO. The idea is to vet the tug boat to run on ammonia so cargo vessels can be built eliminating heavy oil fuels in the marine sector.
