RenGen is Zero-Carbon power generation

Zero-Carbon cost competitive replacement of Diesel Gensets for powering poor/off-grid mobile telephone towers

Mobile phone towers in off/poor grid areas are growing fast

Diesel Gensets are expensive and polluting to operate

The operators are actively looking for cost efficient and clean replacements of Gensets

Over 30M ton CO2, 0.3M ton NOx*, 0.2M ton PM* emission from diesel genset powering telecom towers: Equivalent to emission from 26M households or 5M cars

Over €10B of diesel burnt by the operators globally

RenGen: Our product to replace diesel gensetAmmonia powered fuel cell based power generator • Lower cost of ownership compared to gensets • No local carbon emission

Not drawn to scale

RenGen

CO2 free power at a cost competitive price

Innovation:The game changer

RenCat

RenCat technology replaces € 22,000/kg Pd membrane with €1/kg metal oxides

The cost of on-site H2 generation is drastically reduced

HydrogenAmmonia

Rencat technology: On-site H2 €5/kg compared to €17/kg H2 for cylinders

Ammonia: High density zero-carbon H2 carrier - last 5 times longer than H2

Why RenCat technology generates cheapest on-site H2

Desulphurization Reforming Pd- membrane Methanation

Cracking Purification PEM Fuel cell

Diesel to H2(complicated process, use of noble metal)

Ammonia to H2 (Simple process, no-noble metal)

PEM Fuel cell

Simpler process, no noble metal = cheaper H2

Reforming Pd- membrane Methanation

Methanol to H2(complicated process, use of noble metal)
