Technology
Our suite of proprietary technologies has been developed over decades of intensive research, which led to over 200 granted patents. Each of these innovations has been designed to redefine the boundaries of waste-to-energy conversion. From harnessing the untapped value of waste to pioneering new pathways for cleaner energy, our technological solutions stand as a testament to our commitment to a greener future.
Super Green Hydrogen™
Chinook technology produces uniquely SuperGreenHydrogen™. It is super green as the hydrogen is produced with a negative carbon footprint, and levelized cost of hydrogen that is lower than the global hydrogen communities target by 2050 of $1.50 USD/Kg. This means that our hydrogen production actively reduces existing levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. It's a game-changer in the energy sector, offering a cleaner, more sustainable energy solution.
Molecular Recycling
At the heart of Chinook Technology, is the Molecular Recycling™ Concept pioneered by Chinook. The concept composed of heuristics and data that interacts with the RODECS® system to identify the valuables within the waste and adjust the overall process operation boundaries and operational limits to enable the recovery of these valuables individually (the “Molecular Recycling™ System”). The Molecular Recycling™ System applies to the chemical and thermal process in the RODECS® system and contribute to minimise the potential damages to the waste valuables from the combined chemical and thermal reactions.
Active Hydropyrolysis
The Chinook Active Hydropyrolysis™ concept is a unique design and inventive step in the RODECS® system which intensifies and prioritises certain chemical reactions in the RODECS® system to maximise the production of various gaseous elements from the waste (“Active Hydropyrolysis™”). Active Hydropyrolysis™ uses the Molecular Recycling System to receive the boundaries and limits to determine and alter the thermal treatment to actively enhance the heat and mass transfer from the solid or liquid waste to Syngas.
Hydrogen Intelligence
The Chinook Hydrogen Intelligence™ system stands as the world's first intelligent supervisory system that seamlessly integrates and synchronizes the operation of various processes within the plant. Using real-time data, this system continuously evaluates the plant's operational status, making forecasts to chart the most efficient operational path. It's a testament to our commitment to innovation and efficiency.
