Business idea
Turn-Key onsite hydrogen production from your own waste! Plagazi offers a pioneering method for changing waste into hydrogen. The company name stems from the concept “plasma gasification”. In simple terms the technique is to expose the waste to such high temperatures that it becomes gasified and separated into molecules. The system is entirely closed and gives off no environmentally hazardous waste products. Waste can be transformed into hydrogen, or into methanol and raw material for diesel production.
Don’t waste the waste.

Business idea
We offer complete solutions for the handling of rest products such as biogas digestates, sewage sludge, and ashes and refinement of these into high quality fertilizers and fertilizer concepts for agriculture, forestry and gardening. Thus we solve two problems at once: we recycle nutrients and we take care of rest products in a sustainable way. In our process we separate nutrients from environmentally harmful substances such as heavy metals, pathogens, medication rests, hormones, etc., and we use the organic fraction for energy production. We are unique in at least four ways: 1. We take care of the entire rest product problem, not just fractions. 2. Our business model: we finance, own and operate the facility for rest product handling at no or minimal investment cost fo the rest product producer. 3. Our starting point in process design is fertilizer customer demand. 4. Our competence mix: engineers and plant ecologists.
See the new connections – expand your way of thinking!
In an increasingly complex world, knowledge and new solutions are developed in parallel along many different tracks. In order for innovations to emerge, individuals and organizations must be able to survey, comprehend and integrate pioneering knowledge from different areas into new and effective combinations. But how do we go about that when the world we live in changes so rapidly and knowledge is the really perishable merchandise?
INNOVATION IN MIND 2010 gives you the chance to update your conception of the world faster. Get the mental framework. See what’s waiting around the corner. Acquire knowledge, understanding, perspective, insights and new contacts — all of which you can implement in your daily life and in the way you think.
Globe Forum and Innovation in Mind has collaborated to arrange Lund's largest event for sustainable innovations in the city. Globe Forum and Innovation in Mind will form a Globe Forum Tour stop to bring out the best forces of innovation in conjunction with sustainable development that Lund has to offer.
