Headquartered in the UK, the company is committed to advancing energy independence across the region and expanding its influence throughout the European marketplace. It focuses on sourcing and developing scalable renewable energy solutions and advancements in green technology, ranging from waste conversion into valuable commodities to groundbreaking and cost effective green hydrogen production. The ultimate goal is accelerating the shift toward sustainable energy and eliminating Europe’s dependence on imports, making the nation self-reliant for its energy requirements.
The CASO Advantage
Nexergy’s technological portfolio comprises two groundbreaking innovations—the CASO waste conversion technology and the Lorentz green hydrogen production.
The CASO technology is a proprietary process that converts plastic waste into high-quality oil. This proprietary method employs a sophisticated and ultra-fast form of pyrolysis to transform hydrocarbon-rich materials such as used tyres and plastics into valuable hydrocarbons that, after further refining are used for plastic production.
“We want to bring energy independence for the UK and the European marketplace and create a greener future with our proprietary technology,” says Jason Turner, managing director of Nexergy.
This technology sets itself apart by using friction to generate the high temperatures needed to break the hydrocarbon bonds. Thanks to this highly efficient method, it takes only seconds to transform otherwise non-recyclable plastics into high-quality oil. Its pivotal role in reducing landfill and oceanic waste highlights Nexergy’s commitment to a circular economy, turning waste into valuable resources.
The Green Hydrogen Trump Card
Parallel to CASO, Lorentz is pioneering a method to produce nearly nine times more energy-efficient hydrogen than traditional practices.
Traditional methods of hydrogen production, like steam methane reforming, are highly energy-intensive. They typically require around 40 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of energy to produce one kilogram of hydrogen. This process also emits approximately 5.5 kilograms of CO2 per kilogram of hydrogen produced. The significant energy consumption and high carbon footprint make traditional hydrogen production costly and environmentally unfriendly.

The latest process offers a revolutionary improvement. This innovative method reduces the energy requirement dramatically, making it much more efficient than traditional methods. Solar energy generates zero CO2 emissions, eliminating the environmental impact of conventional hydrogen production. Water molecules are split into hydrogen, which is used as fuel and oxygen, which gets released into the atmosphere. This makes the breakthrough a sustainable alternative to the conventional methods and a sustainable source for various industries, including transportation and heavy machinery.
Nexergy’s approach extends beyond individual technologies; it’s about creating a cohesive, integrated solution that leverages synergies between different innovations. For instance, the gas by-product from the CASO process can be utilized for heat exchange and electricity generation, which in turn can fuel hydrogen production, enhancing the overall sustainability of the system. This integration fosters a circular energy system that benefits the environment and offers economic opportunities in waste management and energy, potentially boosting local employment and fostering community development.
Driving Sustainability Demands by Recycling Waste
Petrochemical companies in the refining sector often need help to obtain the requisite quality of products. Integrating CASO oil into their operations gives them a reliable supply of high-quality light crude oil, essential for their processes. This way, the company can help them achieve their environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals through the environmental and economic advantages of using recycled materials.
Nexergy believes in democratizing access to clean energy production so that communities can benefit from sustainable practices. Utilizing waste as the primary energy source eliminates the need for extensive exploration, drilling or resource searching. This simplifies technology integration into real-world applications and significantly reduces environmental impact.
It stresses the need for different solution providers to harness renewable energy sources like solar and offshore wind to create a connected renewable energy grid to address global challenges. For example, surplus electricity generated through gas production can be leveraged to support the e-mobility market, contributing to regional economic growth.
Investment in Growth and Development
Nexergy plans to expand its business by developing new production sites. This growth strategy is driven by the abundant availability of feedstock like plastic waste, which can be converted into valuable resources through innovative technologies. Driving more investments toward site development would enable the company to scale operations and gain a stronghold on the European renewable energy market.
It recognizes the importance of collaboration in achieving the goal of making Europe self-reliant for its energy needs. The company actively seeks partnerships with other organizations, including local governments, councils and corporate entities that share the same vision for a sustainable future. These partnerships are crucial for driving the adoption of Nexergy’s technologies and integrating them into broader solutions for clean energy and waste management.
A strong focus on creating eco-friendly solutions that support the circular economy and reduce environmental impact enables the company to make significant strides towards a cleaner, more sustainable future. Investing in and developing cutting-edge technologies like CASO and Lorentz will pave the way for future advancements in the renewable energy sector. The company's innovative solutions and commitment to sustainability make it an attractive investment opportunity for those looking to support the transition to clean energy.
