The Circular Economy of the Elements
Hellenic builds distributed, sustainable infrastructure including desalination, power and brine conversion facilities, to allow industry and agriculture to grow into the future and open up opportunity for the aspiring middle class.
WATER
Water is the most precious resource essential to both commercial development and the growth of the global middle class. Globally, a water crisis is looming as climate change stands to threaten an already overstressed diminishing ground water supply. Population growth, which is expected to increase to 9.7 billion by 2050, will drive unprecedented demand for water in water stressed and water insecure regions.
Hellenic builds economically viable water desalination plants, powered by renewable energy, to provide a secure water supply that will to drive industrial and commercial, with expansion, well into the future, and provide access to clean drinking water for the communities globally.
CLEAN ENERGY
A global transition to a cleaner and more equitable energy future is well underway. Renewables such as hydropower, biogas, geothermal, solar, and wind now make up an estimated 26% of the global electricity production, which has accounted the creation of 11 million jobs sector-wide.
Hellenic is installing and procuring a mix of clean energy technologies, which includes biofuels and geo-thermal energy,
to provide constant and uninterrupted renewable energy for heating, power, water desalination, transportation & agriculture.
WASTE-TO-VALUE
Brine & Chlor-Alkali: Daily, the desalination industry produces 5 billion cubic feet (31 billion gallons) of concentrated brine. Historically, disposing of Brine is costly, given it can pose a serious risk to ocean ecosystems and marine life. Hellenic is extracting value from the waste and doing so without environmental degradation, by using advanced chemical processing technology to turn brine from desalination plants into useful industrial chemicals. We are engaging with world leading chlor-alkali manufacturers for the production of chlorine and caustic soda, important inorganic commodity chemicals, referred to as chlor-alkali.
Infrastructure Investment & Expansion
Available infrastructure investment worldwide falls far short compared to the global population growth. In North America, infrastructure is in decline and the projected growth in the regions of Europe, Africa, and Asia is woefully lacking in infrastructure investment potential. Our selection of target markets and facility locations worldwide, with investment in water and power, creates the essential resources and the revenue for reinvestment in infrastructure and community advancement.
