Take some hazardous waste - say, chemical residuals - and put it through a mobile Plasma Enhanced Melter (PEM) and, presto, you've got hydrogen-rich syngas, useful for all sorts of things. What things, you might want to know? Well, InEnTec Chemical, the company behing the PEM system, said in a statement (available after the jump) that the syngas can be used to make "high purity hydrogen, methanol, hydrogen/carbon monoxide ("HyCO"), and other products used by chemical and refining plants." It'll be a while before InEnTec hydrogen from hazardous waste powers your Clarity, though. InEnTec recently demonstrated the technology to "four of the world's largest chemical companies" but is not yet up and running anywhere in the U.S. The first application here looks like it will be at a Dow Corning plant (operated by Veolia Environmental Services) in Midland, Michigan. Global Plasma in Taiwan has apparently been using a PEM to make clean electricity since 2005.
