Waste-to-value • Clean hydrogen • Circular carbon

Turning waste into strategic resources.

Clean Energy Enterprises develops technologies and projects that transform difficult organic waste streams into hydrogen, concentrated CO₂ and new pathways for local, circular value creation.

Clean Energy Enterprises

From technology to operating infrastructure.

Clean Energy Enterprises Inc. is the parent company of Ways2H. CEE manages the group's strategic development and supports the creation of waste-to-value projects. Clean Energy Enterprises SAS, established in France, supports European and selected international activities.

01

Technology

Developing and protecting process know-how and intellectual property around the conversion of chemically organic feedstocks into useful energy and carbon products.

02

Systems

Through Ways2H, engineering and supplying modular conversion systems, from the 1 dry-ton-per-day CRU to standard 24 dry-ton-per-day commercial modules.

03

Projects

Developing customer-owned system sales as well as selected Build-Own-Operate opportunities where project economics and local conditions support long-term asset ownership.

Our approach

Local waste. Local energy. Local value.

CEE's strategy is built around distributed infrastructure: use difficult waste streams close to where they arise, produce hydrogen close to where it is consumed, and treat concentrated CO₂ as a separable product stream rather than simply releasing it.

  • Reduce dependence on landfill and long-distance waste transport
  • Produce hydrogen from locally available carbonaceous feedstocks
  • Enable local power, mobility and industrial hydrogen applications
  • Create pathways for CO₂ utilization or sequestration according to project conditions

Ways2H Platform

Ways2H, a wholly owned subsidiary of CEE, engineers and supplies a modular thermochemical Platform designed for chemically organic feedstocks including plastics, RDF, textiles, biomass, forestry residues and suitably preprocessed organic waste.

Ways2H Platform equipment arrangement

Steam-rich conversion, engineered for difficult feedstocks.

The Platform combines commercially established industrial unit operations in a proprietary process architecture. Feedstock passes through the Vapolyser and high-temperature Reformer in a steam-rich atmosphere. A fraction of the produced hydrogen is combusted with oxygen to provide controlled process heat, avoiding combustion by-products in the process gas.

  • No oxygen injection into the gasification zone
  • Hydrogen/oxygen burners provide controllable process heat
  • Water-gas shift maximizes conversion of CO with steam
  • Final separation produces hydrogen and a concentrated CO₂ stream
  • Platform feedstock moisture requirement: ≤20%, with ~15% preferred for many applications
~110 kgH₂ per dry tonne — current design/performance basis
~1.7 tCO₂ stream per dry tonne — project basis
~3 t/dayH₂ from a standard 24 dry-tpd module
ModularMultiple modules can be combined for larger projects
Validation pathway

From proven components to an integrated commercial Platform.

The core process has been developed through engineering and testing, while the broader system integrates established industrial equipment for gas cleaning, water-gas shift, separation, compression and balance-of-plant functions. The 1 dry-tpd Certification Reference Unit is intended to provide integrated operational validation and a working demonstration for customers, partners and public stakeholders.

Value proposition

One infrastructure platform. Several local outcomes.

The optimal configuration depends on feedstock, site, permitting, hydrogen demand, energy prices and the available route for CO₂. CEE evaluates those variables at Project Assessment stage rather than applying a single cookie-cutter business case.

Waste diversion

Target residual organic and carbonaceous streams that are otherwise difficult to recycle or recover economically.

Hydrogen

Supply local mobility, industrial users, fuel cells or other applications without relying solely on electricity-intensive electrolysis.

Dispatchable power

Where appropriate, couple hydrogen production with fuel cells to create dispatchable electricity from locally available waste resources.

CO₂ utilization

Evaluate sequestration and utilization pathways such as mineralization, carbonates, chemicals, greenhouse use or carbon-material production according to local economics.

Project development

Start with the waste stream and the local need.

CEE and Ways2H work with waste companies, municipalities, industrial users, energy companies, project developers and strategic investors to assess projects from feedstock through product offtake.
