During a packed webinar this week, hosted by Hydrogen Sweden and the Dutch embassy in Stockholm, a wide range of topics were addressed to discuss hydrogen opportunities in the Netherlands and Sweden. Great initiatives in both countries were presented, followed by discussions how we further can benefit from each other’s knowledge. The webinar kicked off with market updates by Hydrogen Sweden together with the Dutch innovation attaché and HVW advisory. Plagazi | Green hydrogren producer from waste, Siemens Energy and HYBRIT shared their experiences around hydrogen in the industry. An interesting topic around gas transition – from insights to actions, was presented by Nordion Energi,.
Welcome to Plagazi.
GREEN HYDROGEN FROM WASTE
Green hydrogen can replace fossil fuels
Plagazi has barely scratched the surface of hydrogen’s potential as a replacement for fossil fuels. One kilogramme of hydrogen contains 119 MJ of usable energy, giving it the highest energy content of any fuel. Hydrogen is an essential and irreplaceable cornerstone for an inevitable energy- and mobility green transformation. The patented Plagazi process can produce green hydrogen that can be used in many application areas such as fuel for transportation, power generation and as a substitute for natural gas.
The hydrogen produced in a Plagazi Plant is safe to use, green and clean, as it burns with zero emissions. The only waste product to escape from burning hydrogen is harmless water vapour, no CO2 or any other harmful residue is created during the process.
The patented Plagazi® Process is circular by converting waste to green hydrogen
The Plagazi® Process contributes to the circular economy by utilizing the energy bound in waste and the byproducts (slag and metals) to be recycled. The technology enables the conversion of difficult feedstocks like MSW (municipal solid waste), sewage sludge and hazardous waste into green hydrogen. The slag can be used for road bedding and other construction-based applications and the metal is recycled in the metallurgic industry while the carbon dioxide is stored according to the CCS technology.
A HE2000 Plagazi plant has an annual 20.000 ton waste capacity, and production capacity of 2000 m³/hour, which can serve 150 hydrogen fuelled busses. Produced hydrogen can be converted to 3,3 MW electric power by means of fuel cells. Plagazi collaborates with InEnTec, the industrial pioneer developing solutions for turning waste into valuable green energy.
Plagazi develops, manufactures and operates plants
The Plagazi® Process is competitive since the production cost is only 25% vs producing hydrogen through electrolysis of water. The Plagazi® Process explained in short terms.
1) The process is fed with available waste (e.g. Municipal solid waste, Auto Shredder Residue, car tires, industrial waste, hazardous waste, etc.).
2) The waste is exposed to temperatures >3 000°C in a plasma generator and thereby converted into simple atoms.
3) The gas from the plasma generator is converted into green hydrogen in three consecutive cleaning steps.

Plagazi AB receives German order
Group photo after the presentation of the plans in Premnitz, from left Franz Richter, Patrick Bahnemann, Ralf Tebling, Carola Kapitza, Robert Bock, Torsten Granberg and Christian Gerstädt. A Richter Recycling GmbH order. It is the German company Richter Recycling GmbH that is now taking a large step towards fossil independence and transform from using fossil oil to green hydrogen in its recycling processes. The company manage about 65,000 tonnes of waste annually. The hydrogen gas produced can replace existing natural gas in pipelines to endusers and reduce the consumption of lignite. Plagazi AB will deliver a complete turn-key plant that.
Plagazi’s participation in the German Embassy Webex
Turning the EU Green Deal into reality The German Embassy in Stockholm held a webinar on 15 September 2020 with the key players with focus on green hydrogen. Plagazi AB was one of the invited key participants and was represented by the CEO Mr. Torsten Granberg. The recordings from the webinar has now been present. You can follow the discussion and presentations on this video, which specifically focus on green hydrogen, featuring Swedish and German representatives from Business, Politics and Science. Innovative solutions for turning the EU Green Deal into reality were presented. The video also contains a panel discussion.
Cooperation with InEnTec
Plagazi is pleased to announce the collaboration with InEnTec, the industry leader inplasma gasification systems. Plagazi and Inentec have signed an exclusive collaboration agreement for Europe. InEnTec develops solutions to turn waste into valuable green energyand hydrogen. Plagazi will use InEnTec’s patented plasma gasification system incombination with the Plagazi patented process turning waste into green hydrogen. InEnTec, located in Richland, Washington, has worked for over 20 years to promote plasmagasification of waste. Their technology has been deployed at several locations in USA, Japan, Taiwan and Malaysia. The InEnTec plant in Arlington, Oregon produces fuel cellgrade hydrogen and serves as a commercial demonstration unit.
Green hydrogen
The Plagazi Process for production of hydrogen, out of GROT (wood residues) and other organic waste, is green according to the CertifHy definition and gives a negative CO2 contribution when combined with CCS. There is a new emphasis on hydrogen in Europe, following the presentation of the European Hydrogen Strategy, and the formation of the Hydrogen Alliance in July 2020. The Hydrogen strategy has set up ambitious targets for hydrogen production, but still with a bias on electrolysis. The European Commission should welcome all technologies, and reward CO2 reduction. Green Hydrogen, however it is produced. With a certification of hydrogen,.
The EU Landfill Directive
Landfills become the impulse for the removal of enormous measure of Municipal Solid Wastes (MSW). Landfills have generally been viewed as a definitive answer for putting away squanders at least expense. The removal of huge amounts of trash every day with no treatment and isolation make loads at landfill locales. Studies have demonstrated that decreased landfilling in benefit of expanded reusing of materials and vitality lead to bring down environmental impact, lower health risks, and lesser utilization of vitality assets, lower energy resources, lower economic costs and finally sustainable waste management. The EU-directive[1] points out the following: According to the.
COVID-19 is generating tons of medical waste
China has seen amazing measures of clinical waste. It is not clear if U.S. and European effects may be comparative. In China, the coronavirus — which causes COVID-19 — has left the nation managing piles of clinical waste. The South China Morning Post has revealed 28 urban areas are struggling to manage it, including Wuhan, the main zone significantly affected by the emergency. That city is creating in excess of multiple times its standard measure of clinical waste, per the Post’s revealing, and clinical waste treatment offices in all the influenced urban areas are working at their full limit. During.
Pre-study for Dillinger
Dillinger in Germany has commissioned Plagazi to perform a pre-study to establish the feasibility for a hydrogen plant at their steel mill site in Dillingen/Saar. The hydrogen would be used as reduction agent in their blast furnace and replace coke, thereby substantially reducing CO2 emissions. The waste would come from Dillinger’s current operations at the site.
Richter Recycling GmbH and Plagazi enter a pre-study agreement
Richter Recycling GmbH and Plagazi have made an agreement to make a pre-study for building up a Plagazi Process plant. The pre-study will highlight the advantages changing from today’s incineration to the Plagazi Process. Upgrading vehicles Richter Recycling has also expressed their wish to upgrade its vehicle fleet to hydrogen powered vehicles. Richter sees the opportunity to improve the economy by a change-over and at the same time contribute to reduction of CO2 emission. Excess hydrogen from the process could be fed into the existing gas pipeline system in the Berlin area.
