Our commitment to sustainability
When considering the progress of worldwide carbon reduction goals by 2050, it is clear that traditional renewables, wind and solar, cannot deliver on Climate Change targets, and it is increasingly obvious that hydrogen will play a critical role as a low-carbon fuel for both electricity generation and transportation.
Paladin Hydrogen Group was established to develop and deliver environmental and social sustainability initiatives for industrial applications where fossil fuels are used in large quantities, such as coal and gas-fired thermal power stations, cement manufacturing and steel manufacturing facilities and the like. Paladin’s founders (who remain major shareholders), are committed to help clean up the coal industry by implementing its unique C2H2 coal to hydrogen technology, and its remarkable Cseq decarbonisation technology and process, that utilises captured CO2 emissions and converts the carbon into harmless carbonates and bicarbonates, whilst producing green hydrogen as a byproduct.
By means of these technologies Paladin Hydrogen Group is helping transition the coal industry to a carbon free energy future whilst still delivering cheap and reliable base load electricity, but without GHG emissions.
Renowned institutes like the International Renewable Energy Agency, the Energy Transitions Commission, and the Hydrogen Council anticipate as much as 18 percent of final consumption to be provided by hydrogen by 2050. However, green hydrogen produced via electrolysis remains costly to produce and is currently non-viable for large scale production, so alternative clean hydrogen production technologies are being considered and being developed.
Paladin Hydrogen Group provides a genuinely carbon-zero footprint from the production of hydrogen, which includes ensuring our Scope 3 emissions are recycled and neutralised within the closed loop process. Scope 3 is defined by the EPA as emissions generated for example, by a third party supplier of materials used in production. By means of Cseq, our carbon sequestration process, Paladin Hydrogen Group can produce green hydrogen at a far lower cost than typical green hydrogen produced by electrolysis, as it uses far less electricity and water, which is good news for our planet.
Scope 1
Scope 1 emissions are direct greenhouse (GHG) emissions that occur from sources that are controlled or owned by an organisation (e.g., emissions associated with fuel combustion in boilers, furnaces, vehicles).
Paladin achieves carbon zero in respect of Scope 1 emissions.
Scope 2
Scope 2 emissions are indirect GHG emissions associated with the purchase of electricity, steam, heat, or cooling. Although scope 2 emissions physically occur at the facility where they are generated, they are accounted for in an organisation’s GHG inventory because they are a result of the organisation’s energy use.
Paladin achieves carbon zero in respect of Scope 2 emissions.
Scope 3
Scope 3 emissions are the result of activities from assets not owned or controlled by the reporting organisation, but that the organisation indirectly affects in its value chain.
Paladin has chosen to achieve carbon zero in respect of its Scope 3 emissions.
