The energy transition refers to the global shift from fossil fuel-based energy systems to renewable and sustainable energy sources. This transition addresses several pressing environmental challenges. Firstly, it significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions, which are the primary drivers of climate change. By adopting cleaner energy sources, we can mitigate the adverse effects of global warming, such as extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and loss of biodiversity. Secondly, renewable energy sources are more sustainable in the long term, as they rely on natural processes that are continually replenished, unlike finite fossil fuels. This shift also promotes energy security and independence, ensuring a stable and reliable supply of energy. Furthermore, the energy transition fosters economic growth and job creation in emerging green industries, contributing to a more resilient economy.
There are six main technology paths to global decarbonization, and Elessent plays a key role in four of these paths: Energy Efficiency, Carbon Capture, Green Hydrogen, and eFuels.
Energy efficiency is pivotal in the decarbonization process by reducing the amount of energy required by industrial processes. Energy-efficient technologies can lower operating costs, decrease energy demand, and extend the lifespan of resources, making it the most economic and environmentally sound approach to decarbonization.
For industries, energy efficiency involves optimizing production processes, upgrading equipment, and adopting smart technologies to minimize energy use. This not only reduces greenhouse gas emissions but also enhances competitiveness in a market that increasingly values sustainability. Implementing energy efficiency measures can deliver immediate reductions in emissions while supporting long-term decarbonization goals. Elessent’s offerings for energy efficiency include:
By capturing carbon at the source, companies can significantly lower their carbon footprint and contribute to global emission reduction targets. When combined with carbon storage or utilization technologies, carbon capture offers a promising path toward achieving net-zero emissions across multiple industries. Elessent offers two different technology options that enable carbon capture technology to work at its highest efficiency:
These technologies are imperative for carbon capture operations due to their proven ability to clean and cool flue gases before entering a carbon capture unit.
Green hydrogen is revolutionizing the energy sector. It is produced using renewable energy to power the electrolysis of water. Zero emission hydrogen is produced for use as an energy source, a raw material, or for energy storage. To meet the demands of most applications, cleaning the hydrogen is crucial for downstream processes. Our advanced separation solution, Brink® ezSEP™, is the optimum choice to ensure efficiency and performance in purification units.
We collaborate closely with process licensors and global hydrogen producers to drive efficiency enhancements by reducing pressure drop, enhancing mist removal, and using corrosion-resistant materials. Our Brink® mist eliminators provide high-efficiency removal of all free liquids, recovering electrolytes and water from hydrogen and oxygen streams and returning them to the process. By improving the efficiency of purification systems, our solutions extend purification system desiccant life and reduce the green energy and clean hydrogen needed to regenerate the desiccant. This results in a more sustainable and cost-effective operation for hydrogen producers.
eFuels, or synthetic fuels, are another innovative solution helping to drive the decarbonization of sectors that are hard to electrify, like aviation. These fuels are produced using renewable energy sources to convert carbon dioxide and hydrogen into liquid fuels that can replace traditional fossil fuels in existing engines and infrastructure.
The key advantage of eFuels is that they offer a sustainable alternative to conventional fuels while utilizing current transportation and distribution systems. This makes eFuels a practical option for industries that require high-energy-density fuels. Elessent’s EleSAF™ technology is an optimal solution for the production of eFuels.
Elessent is at the forefront of the energy transition, driving innovation and sustainability through its advanced technologies in eFuels, Energy Efficiency, Green Hydrogen, and Carbon Capture. By leveraging these solutions, industries can significantly reduce their carbon footprint and contribute to global decarbonization goals, paving the way to a sustainable future.
