Leading the Environmental Remediation Industry in a Green, Low Carbon Usage Manner

“Regenesis is finding ways of remediating Brownfield Sites in a low carbon usage manner.”

Rt. Hnr. Lord Smith of Finsbury, Chairman of the Environment Agency of England and Wales, March 2009 Keynote Address before a Congress on Groundwater Restoration.

In 1994, Regenesis was established to commercialize innovative technologies with the purpose of reducing the time and energy required to clean up contaminated groundwater and soil. In so doing, Regenesis initiated a change throughout the environmental remediation industry. Historically, site remediation was accomplished through the deployment of energy intensive mechanical activities such as pumping, vacuum extraction, excavation and disposal of contaminated groundwater and soil. With the introduction of Oxygen Release Compound (ORC®), the first injectable, controlled - oxygen release material, Regenesis shifted the cleanup paradigm allowing practitioners to perform site cleanups using in-place, naturally occurring microbial processes that require very little energy use and produce virtually no air emissions.

As early as 1999 Regenesis turned its attention specifically to reducing energy consumption and limiting the output of green house gases on sites undergoing groundwater remediation. As a result,in 2000 the company introduced Hydrogen Release Compound (HRC®) which was perhaps the first environmental technology in the world to be recognized by a governmental body for achieving a “net environmental benefit” and complying with efforts to reduce climate change . This in turn resulted in an Innovative Environmental Technology (IET) Certification and Letter of Commendation by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, 2001.

Regenesis continues to lead the development of advanced technologies that cost effectively treat contamination in-place, with minimum energy requirements, and minimum green house gas emissions. These efforts have been recognized worldwide as stated by Rt. Hnr. Lord Smith of Finsbury , Minister of the Environment Agency United Kingdom who in a keynote address before a recent congress on groundwater restoration noted “Regenesis is finding ways of remediating brownfield sites in a low carbon usage manner”.
