BurnStar Technologies and Energidrop Sign Memorandum of Understanding for Carbon-Negative Hydrogen Production Derived from Bio-Methane

Johannesburg, June 25, 2024BurnStar Technologies, an innovator in sustainable energy solutions, is pleased to announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Energidrop, a specialist bioenergy company providing engineering services and sustainable energy technologies. This partnership will enable BurnStar to rent its cutting-edge Guilt-Free Hydrogen™ production units to Energidrop customers, allowing them to produce on-demand, carbon-negative hydrogen at their premises.

BurnStar Technologies’ revolutionary pyrolysis technology uses a proprietary liquid metal catalyst, offering a low-cost hydrogen production method while producing zero-CO2 emissions. The process presents numerous benefits, including:

  1. Environmental Sustainability:
    Guilt-Free Hydrogen™ eliminates carbon emissions during hydrogen production.

  2. Cost Efficiency:
    Combining modern pyrolysis with renewable energy sources makes low-cost hydrogen a feasible option for broader use.

  3. Scalability:
    Modular plant designs allow for scalable solutions, catering to local load-following needs as well as large-scale industrial requirements.

  4. Energy Independence:
    The technology produces more energy than it consumes, using only a small portion of its own clean hydrogen as a heat source or utilising local renewable resources.

  5. Seamless Integration:
    Easy adoption is ensured through integration with existing gas supply infrastructure, minimising disruption for customers.

"We are excited to work with Energidrop and bring our Guilt-Free Hydrogen™ production technology to a larger market," stated David de Mattos, Operations Director at BurnStar Technologies. "This collaboration is a testament to our commitment to sustainable innovation and our vision of a greener future."

BurnStar Wins Green Tech Accolade

To add to the excitement, BurnStar has won the Green Tech regional finals for the African Start-Up of the Year competition. “These accolades highlight BurnStar’s transformational potential and positive impact on the global energy market,” stated Dr Johan Brand, BurnStar’s CEO.

A Game-Changer for the South African Bio-Methane Industry

Darius Boshoff, Founder and Managing Director of Energidrop, shared his excitement: “We are dedicated to offering sustainable and efficient energy solutions to our clients, and we see this technology as being key in supplying hydrogen made from bio-methane to South African industries. Bio-methane also allows our clients currently without natural gas supply to access clean alternatives.”

Boshoff added, “Partnering with BurnStar enhances our services and brings additional value to biogas producers in South Africa. Together, we are poised to lead the way in the transition to a cleaner energy future."

A New Era in Carbon-Negative Hydrogen Production

Dr Johan Brand concluded by stating, “The collaboration between BurnStar and Energidrop ushers in a new age of negative-carbon hydrogen production, offering major improvements in sustainability and energy efficiency. Both companies are committed to pushing the boundaries of innovation and accelerating the global transition to a sustainable energy supply.”
