ENVIRONMENTAL CLEAN TECHNOLOGIES (ASX:ECT)

ECT describes its technology suite as the “bridge to net zero emissions”.

Its tech enables the adoption of net zero emission targets by decarbonising conventional resources to create net zero emissions energy, industrial and agricultural products.

ECT’s patented COLDry technology transforms low-grade and waste feedstock into commercially viable, in-demand products.

The products feature low, net-zero, and carbon-negative footprints, addressing the needs of hard-to-abate sectors such as agriculture, industry, and energy.

The COLDry platform supports applications for soil health products, clean hydrogen, and hydrogen carriers such as methanol, in addition to producing char and advanced carbon products.

Building on the COLDry platform, ECT is developing its HydroMOR technology for low- emission steelmaking and its COHgen technology for net-zero hydrogen production.

The HydroMOR process aims to provide cost-effective, low-carbon solutions for the steelmaking industry, which accounts for approximately 8 per cent of global CO2 emissions.

Traditionally, lignite, a soft brown coal, is unsuitable for conventional steelmaking processes.

However, ECT’s HydroMOR process uses lignite, offering a low-carbon alternative to traditional high-emission blast furnace steelmaking, which relies heavily on costly and polluting coking coal.

“I’m really interested in their technology to combine two key elements – low value fuel sources like lignite which is plentiful in places like Victoria, and waste material like biomass – to help the bridge towards net zero carbon,” Thick says.

“This process produces pellets for fuel at low temperature and pressure and low to net zero CO2.

“This has been tried for decades with gasification of coal but not with great success and these processes show a lot more potential, in my view.”

He says in addition to low grade coals and biomass there are so many other waste streams that can be used for power generation including waste timber and end-of-life plastics.

“We have to keep closing that loop wherever we can.”
