STARTECH ENVIRONMENTAL RANKED 14 IN TOP 100 CLEAN ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES
WILTON, CT, November 2008: Startech Environmental Corporation, a fully reporting, award-winning environment and energy company announced today that it has been ranked 14 in a field of 100 clean energy technologies by the New Energy Congress Top 100 Clean Energy Technologies on November 17, 2008. Since April, 2006, the Congress has been systematically voting on energy technologies, reviewing a new technology every few days, and weighing each against the criteria they established with the lastest update as of November 17, 2008.
Startech is the internationally recognized, award-winning environment and energy company producing and selling of its innovative, proprietary plasma processing equipment known as the Plasma Converter System™.
The Plasma Converter System safely and economically destroys wastes, no matter how hazardous or lethal, and turns most into useful and valuable products. In doing so, the System protects the environment and helps to improve the Public Health and Safety. The System achieves closed-loop elemental recycling to safely and irreversibly destroy household and urban waste, organics and inorganics, solids, liquids and gases, hazardous and non-hazardous waste, industrial by-products and also items such as electronics-waste (e-waste), medical waste, chemical industry waste and other specialty wastes, while converting many of them into useful commodity products that can include silicates, metals and a synthesis-gas called Plasma Converted Gas (PCG) ™.
Among the many commercial uses for PCG, is its use to produce "Carbonless Electric Power” from Startech Hydrogen, Gas-To-Liquid (GTL) fuels such as ethanol, synthetic diesel fuel and other higher alcohol “alternative” fuels. Startech Hydrogen, for commercial use and sale, can also be recovered from the PCG.
When hydrogen, as a fuel, combines wth air, the principal resulting product is H2O, water. No carbon dioxide (CO2) results in the combustion process since there are no carbons in hydrogen. With its roots in the Kyoto Protocol, the burgeoning Carbon-Credit market and its focus on ‘low-carbon-footprints,’ means that this “green” stationary electrical power will not be merely a ‘low-carbon-footprint;’ it will be a ‘No-Carbon-Footprint.’
The Startech Plasma Converter is essentially a manufacturing system producing valuable commodity products from feedstock-materials that were previously regarded as wastes.
Startech regards all wastes, hazardous and non-hazardous, as valuable renewable resources and as valuable feedstocks.
