‘Clean gas’ energy source claimed

A tech company says it has made a major breakthrough for a “clean gas” global energy source with zero CO2 emissions that’s up to 80% cheaper than current energy supplies.

The carbon neutral gas will give global economies access to a cheap, endless supply of clean energy, allowing countries to maintain gas and energy security while also meeting their carbon-neutral net zero targets, the company says.

The clean gas energy source code-named Kinetic 7 comes from Voltage Enterprises, a disruptive tech company based in Abu Dhabi funded by Aquarius Global, which is also working on further innovations and disruptive technology projects including autonomous power and advanced power systems.

Both companies don’t mention transport applications, but we’re asking them if Kinetic 7 may replace some hydrogen in fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs).

Kinetic 7 is said to be a stable and an efficient gas derived solely from water but has a unique molecular chemistry more advanced than hydrogen gas obtained through electrolysis where water (H2O) is broken down into H2 and O2 gases.

“Not only does this use a huge amount of energy to create the molecular process; it requires high pressure storage and has a low flash point, making it very unstable,” Voltage Enterprises explains.

Kinetic 7’s patented technology reconstructs and converts water into molecular clusters, which are electrically charged to create a constant oxidisation and friction. This makes the molecules more efficient, causing them to vibrate, which in turn creates a very reactive gas, providing a clean gas and flame, the company says.

“Unlike hydrogen gas Kinetic 7 is also inert, making it a safe and controllable gas for domestic and industrial supply. Most importantly, the cost savings by using Kinetic 7 will be substantial against current gas and energy costs. The Kinetic 7 generators which create the clean gas, will be manufactured to high standards in Europe and the current process of making the gas is both EU-approved and CE-certified.”

“Kinetic 7 is a major gamechanger in the global energy market,” says Aquarius Global founder and executive chairman Rick Parish.

“In much the same way that solar power is currently being used in domestic housing, Kinetic 7 will allow households to produce their own clean gas energy source, using water and a small amount of electricity,” he adds.

“The Kinetic 7 generator unit will be retrofitted into homes. The plug-n-play product, which uses a small amount of AC or DC power and water, will allow the householder to enjoy the same natural gas/LPG benefits without the high costs, supply disruptions and dramatic price increases.

“An external wall unit can be fitted to a domestic household and used for stove cooktops and ovens, hot water systems, ambient heating and underfloor heating,” Parish explains.

“At the same time, Kinetic 7 can power large-scale industrial production and manufacturing, providing clean energy that is carbon neutral from water.”

Parish reckons Kinetic 7 will also bring efficient cooking and heating to developing nations, war-torn countries and places where poor infrastructure has inhibited or restricted access to clean energy.

The company will be manufacturing miniaturised Kinetic 7 portable cooking and heating stoves in about three months.

Aquarius Global’s corporate objective is to support companies using science and technology in a disruptive manner, to develop and deliver beneficial innovations for mankind and the environment.

“We are currently working on ground-breaking projects to capture carbon emissions and reduce CO2, whilst also creating anti-microbial and immune-boosting water that can be used in a whole range of applications,” says Parish.

A series of real-world trials are underway using Kinetic 7 in residential properties for domestic cooking stoves, hot water systems and residential heating, while some factories and engineering plants are also involved.

After further trials, a programme of rolling the technology and clean gas out into domestic households and commercial premises could start within six to 12 months.

Further announcements are expected as the company looks for global energy partners to work with.
