“Solid waste is rapidly growing all over the world, causing pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Our vision is to eliminate landfills and convert waste into renewable hydrogen and electricity at scale.

We have developed a patented technology called MIHG or “Moving Injection Horizontal Gasification,” which converts solid waste destined for landfills into clean energy and hydrogen.

We’ve proven the MIHG process in our pilot plant and gained blue-chip customers. We seek to raise AUD 2M to commercialise the technology and convert hundreds of customer leads into orders worldwide.”
