WILTON, Conn., May 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Startech Environmental
Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: STHK), a fully reporting company,
announced today that it has successfully completed Phase One of the
two-phase DOE Program that has as its focus the production of Plasma
Converted Gas (PCG) from processing coal and municipal solid waste in the
Plasma Converter for the production of hydrogen. Phase Two, now in
progress, is focused on the separation of hydrogen from the PCG synthesis
gas mixture using the Company's StarCell(TM) system.
Department of Energy news releases said that the DOE's goal is, "By
2015, have ready to operate a zero emissions, high-efficiency coal
production power plant that will produce hydrogen from coal along with
electricity." And, "Clean coal technology describes a new generation of
energy processes that sharply reduce air emissions and other pollutants
compared to older coal-burning systems."
Joseph F. Longo, president of Startech, said, "Hydrogen we produce from
coal and wastes using Startech's system can be used to produce electricity
without pollution or greenhouse gas emissions such as carbon dioxide.
Hydrogen is the most pristine of all fuels and when it is used for
electrical power what results is just plain water."
About Startech -- an environment and energy company
Startech Environmental is an environment and energy industry company
engaged in the production and sale of its innovative, proprietary plasma
processing equipment known as the Plasma Converter System(TM). The Plasma
Converter System safely and economically destroys wastes, no matter how
hazardous or lethal, and turns them 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 Municipal Solid Waste,
organics and inorganics, solids, liquids and gases, hazardous and
non-hazardous waste, industrial by-products and also items such as
"e-waste," medical waste, chemical industry waste and other specialty
wastes while converting many of them into useful commodity products that
can include metals and a synthesis-gas called Plasma Converted Gas
(PCG)(TM). Among the many commercial uses for PCG, it can, for example, be
used to produce "green power," alcohol fuels and also hydrogen for sale.
The Startech Plasma Converter is essentially a manufacturing system
producing commodity products from feedstocks that were previously regarded
as wastes. Startech regards all wastes, hazardous and non-hazardous, as
valuable renewable resources.
