About Element1 Energy Inc.
Developing Hydrogen, CCUS and Net-Zero Fuels.
Element1 utilizes existing Canadian energy and midstream infrastructure assets to create "Blue" hydrogen, CCUS and net-zero fuel solutions throughout the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. We have developed a novel integration of proven technologies in a manner not previously incorporated to create reduced carbon intensity solutions for Canadian industry and residents, and global fuel providers.
Our Portfolio
Our Aspects
Blue Hydrogen
Alberta's abundance of natural gas and existing infrastructure allows for cost effective, low carbon intensity hydrogen production.
CCUS
Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage - Utilizing existing reservoirs and proven technologies, Element1's initial facility is set to capture and sequester >585,000 Tonnes per year of CO2 or utilize and convert the CO2 into higher value carbon products.
Net-Zero Fuel Solutions
Element1's process allows for the creation of low carbon intensity, net-zero fuels that can be easily transported or incorporated into existing combustion systems to further reduce emissions. Thermal energy, water recycling, best in class carbon intensity power and by-fuels will be incorporated to enhance net-zero solutions.
