SHEC LABS - Solar Hydrogen Energy Corp. will deploy the world's first Solar Hydrogen production station using methane, an environmentally damaging greenhouse gas expelled from our city landfills. With the technology and processes developed and now being commercialized by SHEC LABS, a value-added method of hydrogen production will be demonstrated. The City of Regina's city council unanimously approved this project for the city's Fleet Street Landfill.

Tom Beck, president and CEO of SHEC LABS said, "This project, 'SHEC Station No. 1', when completed will have the capacity of producing 1.2 million kg of renewable hydrogen per year and will prevent 81.1kt of carbon dioxideequivalent (CO2e) emissions from entering the atmosphere, every year. The life expectancy of this plant is well over 40 years, in 40 years there will be a new landfill in this city that we can sequester the methane from to create renewable energy. Imagine if every city had this insight, the world would start to become a different place."

Today the most common method of hydrogen production is the steam reformation of our depleting supplies of natural gas causing greenhouse gases to be exposed to our atmosphere. The technology to be demonstrated at "SHEC Station No. 1" in Regina solves numerous problems such as the destruction of harmful greenhouse gasses as well as the production of clean, green, high purity, renewable hydrogen. It also displaces the use of our diminishing resources of natural gas for hydrogen production.
