The Airborne System
Our zero-emissions process
These processes convert a standard coal-fired power station into a zero-emissions facility, well within stringent benchmarks, eliminating the need for a stack.
AB Catalyst
AB Catalyst is an eco-friendly, non-toxic, non-corrosive and non-hazardous additive that optimises combustion conditions to reduce fuel consumption.
Only 200g of AB Catalyst per ton of coal typically results in a 3% to 10% reduction in pulverised coal boilers, and as high as 20% in chain boilers.
The catalyst lowers the ignition and carbon-burnout temperatures of coal while generating more heat. Lower-grade coal can be used without sacrificing performance.
The catalyst does not harm equipment in any way. In fact, the catalyst protects metal surfaces against corrosion, and reduces slagging and fouling, significantly reducing maintenance costs.

Sodium scrubbing and regeneration
Our sodium scrubbing and regeneration technology achieves near-zero emissions from coal-fired energy while simultaneously creating agricultural-grade fertilisers for revenue generation.
The Airborne System’s high-performance de-mister employs solution chemistry to capture pollutants, a superior method to coarse traditional de-misters.
The system also offers a perfect option for smaller facilities: the Regeneration Hub. Multiple facilities connect to a centralised sodium scrubbing and regeneration hub.

Carbon dioxide sequestration
Captured carbon dioxide is injected into a deep, proprietary geothermal well located on site at the power station, an ideal method for cleanly disposing of carbon waste and creating substantial further value.
It is a prime example of a circular economy: in sequestering carbon, further, highly valuable chemical products can be derived, including e-fuels such as aviation fuel, petrol and diesel.

Geothermal wells
This process creates heat that can be tapped as a further green energy source, on top of the energy created by the power station. Geothermal energy offers 24-hour, sustainable baseload power, unlike other forms of green energy.
A geothermal well will also create substantial additional income for the power station from the sale of carbon credits, a vital component of the sustainable energy mix.
Fission-enhanced geothermal energy
Airborne Clean Energy’s international parent currently has a patent pending to create fission-enhanced geothermal wells, which will drastically reduce the costs and construction time of, and eliminate the risks associated with, nuclear energy.
A fission-enhanced geothermal well also provides round-the-clock, green baseload power, but is able to deliver a great deal more energy than a standard geothermal well does, and it will continue to do so for decades.
