The SPEG process extracts all carbon from the waste feedstock, removes all particulates and acid gases, and produces no toxins or pollution. It not only solves our air quality and climate challenges by producing pollution-free hydrogen. It can also provide lowest-cost long-term storage for electrical grids relying on renewable energy.
