Catalyx Nanotech Begins Converting Landfill Gas to Nanofibers, Hydrogen at a Southern California Landfill

Posted on June 20, 2009

Catalyx Nanotech, Inc., has started operating a pilot project to convert landfill gas (LFG) to nanofibers and hydrogen at a closed southern California landfill. Previously, this pilot unit was operating as a production plant in Burnaby, Canada, using natural gas as the feed source and producing 2.0 kg of nanofibers per day. The pilot project currently operates on a reduced capacity for a single shift each day producing approximately 0.5 kg of high value Platelet Graphite Nanofibers and 2,000 liters of hydrogen from a completely renewable resource. The materials are not being produced for comm...
