Resilience and determination driving us towards commercialisation, say Company’s leaders.
Podcast 4.
In our latest podcast, Standard Gas Chief Executive, David Whitmarsh, and Executive Chair, Ed Falkman, reflect on their positive partnership and the close-knit, ego-free management team they lead, which has taken the Company through restructuring, new funding rounds, and the building of the first SG100 plant.
With commissioning now underway and progressing fast towards commercialisation, Ed and David recount some of the trials and tribulations the Company has navigated, underpinned by resilience, patience, determination, and a healthy dose of humour.

TRANSITION TO NET ZERO WITH OUR CARBON-REMOVING TECHNOLOGY
Carbon Negative Energy: Each year, a single SG100 plant can generate up to 40,000 MW hours of carbon-negative power, enough for around 10,000 homes, offices or commercial properties, as well as for the transportation sector and wider industry.
Carbon Reduction: It will remove up to 25,000 tonnes of CO2e – equivalent to the annual carbon emissions of 5,000 cars. With electrolysis, a plant processing biogenic waste will generate over 650 tonnes of green hydrogen. And the SG100 closes the waste management loop, offering a better low carbon alternative to landfill and incineration.
Carbon Capture: TheSG100 technology also generates ‘biochar’ and ‘carbon char’, a black, granular, dust-like co- product that can be sequestered in valuable agricultural, environmental, and industrial applications.
