Paladin Cseq Pty Ltd (part of Paladin Hydrogen Group), was established to deliver the unique global decarbonisation technology and process known as Cseq.
Until recently, in an effort to eliminate carbon emissions, wind and solar have been the focus of investment in alternative energy. However, they depend entirely on ideal weather conditions, they require a stable grid network and they cannot be relied upon for sustainable base load power generation without significant battery storage infrastructure. As a result, the future investment requirement for wind and solar renewable energy is enormous if the world is to reach Paris Agreement Climate Change targets by 2030, 2035 and 2050.
Paladin Hydrogen Group is committed to advancing energy transition over the coming decades, but we recognise that power generation from fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas is still required to meet rising demand for electricity, especially in developing nations. Accordingly, our focus is to decarbonise the use of fossil fuels by means of our unique technologies, with one being Cseq.
Cseq locks away the carbon within captured CO2 emissions by converting it into carbonates and bicarbonates, which renders it as a harmless and valuable output, thus negating the requirement for the controversial carbon storage options that are being applied in CCS undertakings currently. Then, with the addition of water (including seawater) into the Cseq technology and process, carbon-zero hydrogen is produced, which is fed back in a closed loop system to significantly reduce operating costs of the Cseq Plant.
A commercial working prototype of the Cseq Plant has been developed in Melbourne, Victoria, and it is currently being optimised with support of one the world’s largest and most prominent engineering companies. Upon scaling up and competing the design for a full scale Cseq Plant, an industrial emitter will be able to activate a bolt-on Cseq Plant installed immediately adjacent to its’ existing industrial operations, thereby enabling that emitter to become a carbon zero operating facility.
When applied to gas-fired power station for example, Cseq can accept the CO2 emissions captured by the facility and instead of those emissions being transported to a suitable site where they can be forced underground for storage, the CO2 is converted to carbonates, bicarbonates and green hydrogen. The hydrogen can either be blended with the power station’s own LNG feedstock, or used in hydrogen fuel cells to generate clean electricity for the Cseq Plant, with surplus power being fed back into the grid.
