RenGen is Zero-Carbon power generation
Zero-Carbon cost competitive replacement of Diesel Gensets for powering poor/off-grid mobile telephone towers
Mobile phone towers in off/poor grid areas are growing fast

Total number of off and poor grid towers
• Powered by diesel gensets

Diesel Gensets are expensive and polluting to operate
The operators are actively looking for cost efficient and clean replacements of Gensets
Over 30M ton CO2, 0.3M ton NOx*, 0.2M ton PM* emission from diesel genset powering telecom towers: Equivalent to emission from 26M households or 5M cars
Over €10B of diesel burnt by the operators globally
RenGen: Our product to replace diesel gensetAmmonia powered fuel cell based power generator • Lower cost of ownership compared to gensets • No local carbon emission
Not drawn to scale
RenGen
CO2 free power at a cost competitive price
Innovation:The game changer
RenCat
RenCat technology replaces € 22,000/kg Pd membrane with €1/kg metal oxides

The cost of on-site H2 generation is drastically reduced
HydrogenAmmonia
Rencat technology: On-site H2 €5/kg compared to €17/kg H2 for cylinders
Ammonia: High density zero-carbon H2 carrier - last 5 times longer than H2
Why RenCat technology generates cheapest on-site H2
Desulphurization Reforming Pd- membrane Methanation
Cracking Purification PEM Fuel cell
Diesel to H2(complicated process, use of noble metal)
Ammonia to H2 (Simple process, no-noble metal)
PEM Fuel cell
Simpler process, no noble metal = cheaper H2
Reforming Pd- membrane Methanation
Methanol to H2(complicated process, use of noble metal)
