Zeotech's Methane Emissions Control Program Demonstrates Promising Results

Zeotech Limited has made significant progress in its methane emissions control program, which aims to develop zeolite-based technology to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions at landfills. The program, conducted in partnership with Griffith University, has shown promising early methane oxidation efficiency of up to 70-80% through batch experiments. Additionally, methane-oxidizing bacteria have been found to be actively colonizing and co-existing with Zeotech's zeoteCH4 TM products. These results are contributing towards the overall effectiveness of zeoteCH4 TM as a practical methane abatement technology.

Key Takeaways:

• Zeotech's zeolite-based technology has shown promising early methane oxidation efficiency of up to 70-80% in batch experiments.
• Methane-oxidizing bacteria are actively colonizing and co-existing with Zeotech's zeoteCH4 TM products.
• The program has unlocked significant new knowledge in the development of zeolite-based technology for methane emissions control.
• The project aims to develop technology to be deployed within the surface capping soil of landfills to adsorb and eliminate methane emissions.
• Zeotech's zeoteCH4 TM products have demonstrated efficient methane adsorption properties, meeting the first criteria for effective methane elimination.
• The program continues to build important datasets and know-how, with novel aspects being developed which could further enhance Zeotech's intellectual property suite.
• Griffith University's Dr. Chris Pratt is coordinating the program at Griffith University, and is optimistic about the potential of Zeotech's technology to contribute to Australia's pledge to reduce methane emissions by 30% by 2030.
• Zeotech's Chief Executive Officer, Scott Burkhart, is confident that the technology has the potential to offer a compelling fugitive methane control solution.

Statistics:

• 70-80%: Early methane oxidation efficiency of Zeotech's zeolite-based technology in batch experiments.
• 28: Times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide, which methane has.
• 30%: Reduction in methane emissions pledged by Australia by 2030.
• 2: Years since the program commenced at Griffith University in February 2023.
• 4: Field test plots measuring 20m2 reserved at the host site for future field validation (activity D).
