Our commitment to sustainability
When considering the progress of worldwide carbon reduction goals by 2050, it is clear that traditional renewables, wind and solar, cannot deliver on Climate Change targets, and it is increasingly obvious that hydrogen will play a critical role as a low-carbon fuel for both electricity generation and transportation.
PLH energy was established to develop and deliver environmental and social sustainability initiatives for industrial applications where fossil fuels are used in large quantities, such as coal and gas-fired thermal power stations, cement manufacturing and steel manufacturing facilities and the like. The company's founders (who remain major shareholders), are committed to help clean up the coal and gas industry by implementing its unique C2H2 technology to utilise captured CO2 emissions and produce clean hydrogen. In addition, the company has exclusive access to the remarkable Cseq decarbonisation technology and process, that utilises captured CO2 emissions and converts and sequesters the carbon into harmless but valuable carbonates and bicarbonates.
By means of these technologies PLH energy is helping transition the fossil fuel energy production to a carbon free energy future whilst still delivering cheap and reliable base load electricity. The captured CO2 emissions become a valuable catalyst to produce clean hydrogen and the carbon is sequestered in bicarbonates and carbonates that are revenue producing byproducts in their own right.
Renowned institutes like the International Renewable Energy Agency, the Energy Transitions Commission, and the Hydrogen Council anticipate as much as 18 percent of final consumption to be provided by hydrogen by 2050. However, green hydrogen produced via electrolysis remains costly to produce and is currently non-viable for large scale production, so alternative clean hydrogen production technologies are being considered and being developed.
PLH energy can deliver a carbon-zero footprint from the production of hydrogen, which includes ensuring our Scope 3 emissions are recycled and neutralised within the closed loop process. Scope 3 is defined by the EPA as emissions generated for example, by a third party supplier of materials used in production. PLH energy can produce green hydrogen at a far lower cost than typical green hydrogen produced by electrolysis, as it uses far less electricity and water, which is good news for our planet. By means of our acces to Cseq, we can also sequester captured CO2 by converting it into harmless and valuable bicarbonates and carbonates.
Scope 1
Scope 1 emissions are direct greenhouse (GHG) emissions that occur from sources that are controlled or owned by an organisation (e.g., emissions associated with fuel combustion in boilers, furnaces, vehicles).
​
PLH energy achieves carbon zero in respect of Scope 1 emissions.
Scope 2
Scope 2 emissions are indirect GHG emissions associated with the purchase of electricity, steam, heat, or cooling. Although scope 2 emissions physically occur at the facility where they are generated, they are accounted for in an organisation’s GHG inventory because they are a result of the organisation’s energy use.
​
PLH energy achieves carbon zero in respect of Scope 2 emissions.
Scope 3
Scope 3 emissions are the result of activities from assets not owned or controlled by the reporting organisation, but that the organisation indirectly affects in its value chain.
PLH energy has chosen to achieve carbon zero in respect of its Scope 3 emissions.
