  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PRODUCTION OF CALCIUM OXIDE WITH REDUCED CARBON FOOTPRINT
    Publication number: 20250091965
    Abstract: A method can include reducing calcium sulfate to calcium sulfide, converting calcium sulfide to calcium oxide, optionally using the calcium oxide to form a product, optionally oxidizing sulfur dioxide to sulfuric acid, and optionally using the sulfuric acid in fertilizer production.
    Type: Application
    Filed: November 28, 2024
    Publication date: March 20, 2025
    Applicant: Peregrine Hydrogen Inc.
    Inventors: Ian McKay, Stefan Omelchenko, Matthew Shaner, Sam Faucher
  • SULFUR DIOXIDE DEPOLARIZED ELECTROLYSIS AND ELECTROLYZER THEREFORE
    Publication number: 20240271302
    Abstract: A method can include combusting a sulfur precursor in air to form sulfur dioxide, providing the sulfur dioxide to an electrolyzer with at least a threshold gauge pressure, providing water to the electrolyzer, and oxidizing the sulfur dioxide to sulfuric acid and reducing the water to hydrogen in the electrolyzer.
