About HYDROLOOP

Climate Change is driven by the warming of the Troposphere (lower atmosphere).  Higher concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and other greenhouse gases (GHG) add mass to the troposphere.  The added mass increases heat absorption.  With a half-life of 125 years, CO₂ accumulates from year-to-year in the troposphere, where all emissions are trapped and where all weather takes place.  During the last 100 years, the result has been higher year-to-year CO₂ volumes, trapping more heat, creating a warming trend that is accelerating the melting of polar ice, sea level rise and extreme weather.

Thermal power generation (coal, natural gas and nuclear power plants) releases 35 billion (35,000,000,000) metric tons of CO₂ each year into the troposphere.  Additionally, these platforms release mercury, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, particulate matter (PM), and dozens of other substances known to be hazardous to the environment and to human health.

Gasoline and diesel cars and trucks release an additional 15 billion (15,000,000,000) metric tons of CO₂ each year into the troposphere.

Combined, 50 billion (50,000,000,000) metric tons of CO₂ and other GHG’s are released each year into the troposphere from thermal power plants, cars and trucks.  This level of CO₂ and GHG emissions is increasing the tropospheric (carbon) mass; leading to an increase in temperature absorption; resulting in an acceleration of climate change, extreme weather and sea level rise.

HYDROLOOP has the capacity to reverse the CO₂ and GHG-driven atmospheric events taking place in the troposphere.  The HYDROLOOP platform is a 24/7, base load, zero-CO₂, zero-emissions platform.  HYDROLOOP has the capacity to mitigate 100% of all thermal power emissions including: CO₂ mercury, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, particulate matter (PM), and dozens of other substances.

Additionally, HYDROLOOP provides a zero-CO₂, zero-emissions platform for electric car and truck charging.  Also, HYDROLOOP provides a zero-CO₂, zero-emissions platform for hydrogen production and hydrogen fueling for fuel cell cars and trucks.

Global HYDROLOOP deployment will produce a measurable decline of up to 50 billion (50,000,000,000) metric tons of CO₂ and GHG emissions each year into tropospheric.  This decline in CO₂ and GHG emissions will lower the tropospheric (carbon) mass.  The lower mass will decrease temperature absorption and assist in reversing global warming, extreme weather and other climate change trends.

HYDROLOOP stores its initial charge using a novel battery geometry.

HYDROLOOP begins operations as a battery and transitions from battery to continuous operations within ninety (90) seconds. After storing a single charge in its battery:  no additional, outside power is required to maintain power generation.

HYDROLOOP will deploy in capacities of 25 MW to 5,000 MW in a single location with minimal environmental impact.

HYDROLOOP deploys with a near-zero, environmental capital or environmental impact on land, air and waterways.  HYDROLOOP achieves this goal by minimizing land use typically required by large solar and wind plants while mitigating the environmental degradation caused by existing coal, gas and nuclear power plants.

HYDROLOOP will deploy in any-weather or any-locations including: rural, remote, industrial, commercial or urban settings. This allows HYDROLOOP to install and operate in location formerly not available to other power platforms due to restricted fuel or water supplies, environmental or regulatory constraints.

Once charged, HYDROLOOP operates continuously, as a 24/7/365 power supply. HYDROLOOP is a base load, power generation platform and eliminates the need for fuel-based, thermal power platforms while outperforming solar and wind technologies.

(i.e.: coal, natural gas or nuclear)

HYDROLOOP is an emerging form of 100% renewable energy.  This is important because the planet needs renewable energy on a 24/7 basis to create a sustainable society.  The goal of HYDROLOOP is to meet 100% of commercial, industrial and private sectors energy needs with a zero-emissions solution that outperforms and has minimal impact on land, air and water ways than solar, wind and thermal power platforms.

HYDROLOOP operates free of CO₂ or other GHG emissions. This allow HYDROLOOP to have a dynamic impact on the Tropospheric emissions inventory.

HYDROLOOP operates in a closed-loop and does not require a constant water supply.

HYDROLOOP is built and deployed in a modular format. This allows lower manufacturing cost, lower commissioning cost and lower cost to own.

HYDROLOOP is a self-contained, standalone, energy storage and power generating platform and operates independently from outside energy sources.
