KERAMIDA has been advising Trinity Renewables Technology on the applicability of the HyperPhilic Process to municipal waste conversion to energy; on the overall role of this technology to a circular economy and to GHG emissions reduction strategies; on applicable municipal waste generation rates; and, on the permitting needs of the HyperPhilic Process Waste Conversion Plant.

In 2000, Dr. Keramida, CEO & Founder of KERAMIDA, formed a sister company, Technikon LLC, a sustainability research and development company in California, which served the green manufacturing needs of the U.S. Department of Defense.

KERAMIDA was retained by Algaewheel to assist in gaining regulatory approval for Algaewheel’s patented process of treating wastewater with algae for accomplishing two important goals: Treat wastewater with significantly less energy requirements than current technologies, offering significant cost reduction and CO2 credit opportunities; and generate biofuels from the algae generated.

KERAMIDA was hired by a major car manufacturer to develop its biomass-to-energy strategy.

KERAMIDA performed a study of energy use in foundries and development of best practices for energy use reduction and GHG reduction by manufacturing processes for the U.S. Department of Energy. The objective of this pioneering work was to conduct an energy and facility analysis of the metal casting industry to determine the theoretical minimum, best practice, and actual energy usage for different metals and processes used in the metal casting industry.

KERAMIDA performed a study in 2005 for Indirect CO2 Emissions for a major European aluminum producer and developed a winning GHG emissions reduction strategy to successfully address the anticipated impact from the European Union’s CO2 regulations – Phase I (EU Emissions Trading Scheme Directive 2003/87/EC and resultant National Allocation Plans).

KERAMIDA assisted the Philippines’ largest private-sector electric utility company in writing its Sustainability Report, inclusive of its inaugural TCFD disclosure.

KERAMIDA assisted Steel Dynamics, the 3rd largest producer of carbon steel products in the United States, with their goal of publishing their inaugural Sustainability report within a compressed timeframe.

KERAMIDA was tasked with conducting the Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions inventory for an international gun manufacturer. Based on the evaluation, it was determined that fleet electrification and on-site solar/PPAs were critical in achieving GHG reductions.

KERAMIDA used the LFGcost-Web Model, created by the U.S. EPA Landfill Methane Outreach Program (LMOP), to model landfill methane gas generation and payback of multiple methane use options, including boiler retrofit, standard reciprocating engine generator (RICE), microturbine generator, and small RICE.

KERAMIDA worked with one of the world’s leading power companies to develop a more robust and efficient method for evaluating their annual environmental performance metrics. KERAMIDA developed a custom digital tool to automatically identify information gaps and excessive data variance.

KERAMIDA conceived of the idea of an innovative and effective pilot program for neighborhood-scale energy efficiency retrofits of structures.

VGrid Energy Systems (VGrid) is a mobile, scalable gasifier that converts waste biomass to biochar and electricity. KERAMIDA conducted a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of VGrid’s biochar gasifier. This technology converts waste biomass (i.e., pistachio shells) to biochar (a beneficial product) and electricity.

In 2020, KERAMIDA calculated Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions for a nation-wide midstream energy infrastructure and logistics services provider. As part of the analysis, KERAMIDA accounted for all of the Client’s transloading stations and terminals, various auxiliary equipment, as well as their vast mobile fleet including land, marine, and rail units. The purpose of this project was to provide emissions data to the Client for sustainability reporting.

KERAMIDA completed a Level I Sustainability Assessment for a confidential Client that provides power plant support services at approximately 50 locations in over 20 states. Our experts provided recommendations to serve as a roadmap for strategically communicating the Client’s sustainability journey.

In 2020, KERAMIDA advised CenterPoint Energy’s team on their Carbon policy. In 2021, our professionals provided CenterPoint Energy advisory services on ESG strategy, target setting, and reporting, including TCFD.

KERAMIDA conducted a Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions inventory for a company that designs and builds stainless steel propellers for distribution around the globe for a growing marine market. We evaluated the operations at two of the Client’s sites to develop a list of emissions mitigation strategies based on the Client’s strategic vision and priorities.

KERAMIDA performed an energy use audit of all operations related to intake, treatment, and distribution of drinking water for the Indianapolis drinking water system. The audit identified opportunities to reduce electrical energy consumption and GHG, reduce operating costs, and improve the carbon footprint of the supply of drinking water to the residents and businesses of the City of Indianapolis.

Since 2017, KERAMIDA has provided Vectren, an electricity generation and distribution utility with customers in Indiana and Ohio, with strategic sustainability reporting assistance.
