Exploretek Energies

Renewable energy producer

Our projects

Exploretek Energies, an exploration company operating in the fields of renewable energies such as H2 hydrogen, holds since Q1 2024, 40,300 acres spread over 360 mining royalties in the Témiscouata region, initially prospected and which could contain with high probability pockets of white hydrogen or other forms of natural gas. White hydrogen, also known as natural hydrogen, is a naturally occurring form of hydrogen found in underground deposits and in the air. It’s the lightest chemical element and the first on the periodic table of elements.

This form of hydrogen is released from underground deposits by natural processes.
However, although it is the most abundant element in the universe, it is rare in its pure form.
For this reason, it is not envisaged to be collected for use as an emission-free fuel.
Instead, H2 is usually combined with other atoms to create other molecules.
For example, one easily recognizable combination is H2O, better known as water.
While the natural form may be renewable and just as non-polluting as those made with renewable energy, it cannot reasonably be captured without further processes to extract it from wherever it has been combined.

Matrix technology in Témiscouata

Exploretek Energies to test matrix technology in Témiscouata.
This revolutionary technology aims to improve the efficiency of white hydrogen extraction and processing.
Using advanced capture and separation methods, matrix technology promises to make the extraction of natural hydrogen more cost-effective and environmentally friendly.
This pilot project in Témiscouata will be crucial for assessing the potential of this technology under real-life conditions, and for refining the processes prior to full-scale implementation.

Hydrogen storage tank solutions

The market for hydrogen storage tanks and transportation is expected to grow rapidly, reaching 4,155 million USD by 2030.
The main drivers of this growth are increasing investment in hydrogen technologies and stringent environmental regulations aimed at reducing emissions.
Challenges include the high cost of composite materials and regulatory approvals.
Opportunities lie in the increased installation of hydrogen refuelling stations.

Hydrogen storage capacities: PORTS

The ports of Hawksbury, Nova Scotia, and Belledune, New Brunswick, play a key role in the adoption of hydrogen technologies, serving as an essential foundation for the transportation and trading of this energy.
Located on Canada’s east coast, these coastal ports are well placed to foster an integrated energy transition, accelerating decarbonization while supporting the maritime sector’s efforts to reduce CO2 emissions.

Hydrogen for long-haul trucks in Quebec

Long-haul trucks represent a key segment for the adoption of hydrogen storage tanks.
By replacing traditional diesel trucks with hydrogen-powered ones, transport companies in Quebec can significantly reduce their CO2 emissions.
Hydrogen refuelling stations, strategically located across the province, facilitate fast and efficient refuelling of trucks, ensuring a range comparable to that of diesel vehicles.
These stations, located along major transportation routes, enable a smooth transition to a cleaner, more sustainable truck fleet.

Hydrogen Storage for Trains in North America and Decarbonization

Hydrogen-powered trains represent a major innovation in rail transport, contributing to the decarbonization of the sector.
In North America, Alstom’s Coradia iLint, the world’s first hydrogen-powered train, has begun operating in Quebec on the Train de Charlevoix line, demonstrating the benefits of this clean technology.
Participation in Decarbonization The hydrogen-powered Coradia iLint emits only water vapor, eliminating the CO2 emissions associated with traditional diesel trains.
This initiative, in partnership with companies such as Alstom, Hydrolux and HTEC, is playing a crucial role in the transition to more sustainable transportation in North America.

Hydrogen storage for airports

Airports are major potential customers for hydrogen storage tanks.
With the rise of hydrogen-powered aircraft and increased sustainability initiatives in the aviation industry, airports are investing in storage infrastructures to facilitate fast, efficient aircraft refueling.
This helps to reduce CO2 emissions, improve their environmental image and meet stringent emissions regulations.
It is estimated that the adoption of hydrogen at airports could potentially reduce CO2 emissions by several million tonnes by 2030, making a significant contribution to global climate objectives.

The Hydrogen Storage Industry in the Foundry and Metal Sector

The use of hydrogen in foundries and metalworks offers significant advantages.
It reduces CO2 emissions by replacing coke with hydrogen in reduction processes, thus improving energy efficiency and sustainability.
Adopting this technology boosts competitiveness, opens up new markets and creates jobs.

Technological innovations also make it easier to integrate hydrogen into existing infrastructures, reducing transition costs(Hydrogen Central)(FuelCellsWorks)(Hydrogen Central).

Hydrogen Storage by Connecting to Existing Pipelines and Liquid Mixing

Integrating hydrogen into existing pipeline infrastructures reduces infrastructure costs and facilitates the energy transition.
By blending hydrogen with natural gas, it is possible to transport and store hydrogen efficiently, while reducing CO2 emissions.
Blending with liquid fuels such as methanol and ammonia improves energy density and simplifies transportation.

Benefits: Cost reduction, gradual transition, logistical efficiency.
Challenges: Compatibility of materials, necessary regulations.
Opportunities: Emissions reduction, economic stimulus.

Initiatives in Europe and North America are successfully testing these technologies, demonstrating their potential for a greener economy(Hydrogen Central)(FuelCellsWorks)(Hydrogen Central)(HTEC).
