Greon technology

The major reasons for and consequences of climate change that we face today are the elevated levels of greenhouse gases and CO2 in particular. The industrial sector is handling five major issues:

  • the energy commodity prices,
  • the political pressure,
  • the economical crisis,
  • public pressure on environmental matters and
  • internal operational restrictions that follow from the ratification of the Kyoto Protocol and the carbon allowances.

CO2 has been one of the milestones for development of life for the last 5 billion years on this planet. However,  elevated levels of greenhouse gases are a threat to life and biodiversity, and numerous ways has been developed to deal with this problem. Despite that these carbon capture and storage techniques are productive in removing CO2, they are very expensive and energy consuming, and cleaner and more efficient ways to deal with carbon footprint, especially in carbon intensive industries are further developed.

Greon has created a huge knowledge base of different strains microorganisms that can be deployed to solve environmentally critical issues. Greon Technology is based on the tremendous variety of microorganisms, whose habitat is in environments that are extreme and toxic. Many of these organisms are thriving on molecules, that are main waste products or by products of various industrial processes. Gaseous waste products, such as CO2, NOx and SOx can be captured and metabolised by unicellular microorganisms and further converted into biomass, which is subsequently processed to energy.

New frontiers and challenges are introduced infront of proven biochemical processes, such as photosynthesis and photorespiration, and going hand in hand with molecular biology, plant cells engineering, mapping genetic identity and enhancing the cell metabolism, greenhouse and toxic gases are metabolized further into energy. The source of this energy is industrial waste and sunlight, the end product is 3-rd or 4-th generation biofuel, such as biodiesel, methanol, ethanol, hydrogen, biogas, methyl-butyl-ether, biobriquettes, etc.
