Johannesburg, June 25, 2024 — BurnStar Technologies, an innovator in sustainable energy solutions, is pleased to announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Energidrop, a specialist bioenergy company providing engineering services and sustainable energy technologies. This arrangement allows BurnStar to rent its cutting-edge Guilt-Free Hydrogen™ production units to Energidrop customers, enabling them to produce, at their premises, on-demand carbon-negative hydrogen.

BurnStar Technologies offers revolutionary pyrolysis in a proprietary liquid metal catalyst. This breakthrough technique has reinvented low-cost hydrogen production whilst producing zero-CO₂, with major benefits like:

1. Environmental sustainability, as Guilt-Free Hydrogen™ eliminates carbon emissions during the production of hydrogen.

2. Cost efficiency by combining modern pyrolysis processes with renewable energy sources, providing low-cost hydrogen as a realistic choice for wider deployment.

3. Scalability as the plants are modular and can scale to suit varied demands, from small-scale local load-following needs to black-start capable big industrial requirements.

4. Energy independence comes from producing more energy than it consumes, and only using a small portion of its own produced clean hydrogen as heat source (and/or making use of alternative local renewable resources).

5. Innovative integration with current gas supply infrastructure will ensure easy adoption and minimal disturbance to customers.

“We are excited to work with Energidrop and bring our Guilt-Free Hydrogen™ production technology to a larger market,” stated David de Mattos, Operations Director at BurnStar Technologies. “This collaboration is a testament to our commitment to sustainable innovation and our vision of a greener future.”

To add to the excitement, BurnStar has won the Green Tech regional finals for the African Start-Up of the Year competition. “These accolades highlights BurnStar’s transformational potential and positive impact on the global energy market,” stated Dr Johan Brand, BurnStar’s CEO.

Energidrop’s Founder and Managing Director, Darius Boshoff further added “we are dedicated to offering sustainable and efficient energy solutions to our clients, and we see this technology as being key in supplying hydrogen made from bio-methane to South African industries. Bio-methane also allows our clients currently without natural gas supply, to access clean alternatives”. He further stated that “partnering with BurnStar enhances our services and brings additional value to biogas producers in South Africa. Together, we are poised to lead the way in the transition to a cleaner energy future.”

Dr Johan Brand concluded by stating that “the collaboration between BurnStar and Energidrop ushers in a new age of negative-carbon hydrogen production, offering major improvements in sustainability and energy efficiency. Both companies are committed to pushing the boundaries of innovation and accelerating the global transition to sustainable energy supply.”
