Wilf Ouellette, President and CEO of Energy Quest Inc. Talks to the Wall Street Transcript Monday March 31, 9:00 am ET
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Wall Street Transcript has published an in-depth interview with Wilf Ouellette, President and CEO of Energy Quest Inc., (OTCBB: EQST - News) in which he talks at length about the Company.
Energy Quest through its subsidiaries, Syngas International Corp. and Syngas Energy Corp., is an emerging leader in the development and marketing of low-cost alternate fuels worldwide. Through superior technology, the Company is focused on becoming a GreenPowerhouse(TM). Record energy prices combined with the global focus moving rapidly towards addressing pollution, has heightened the need for sustainable, zero emission energy. Energy Quest's technology is based on clean renewable energy positioning it to benefit from global trends.
When asked about the technological advantages Mr. Ouellette stated “The technology will significantly reduce hydrogen costs to levels much less than present steam methane reforming methods. The technology can use almost any carbonaceous materials other than methane to produce hydrogen. PyStR can directly produce near pure hydrogen in a single step; it does not require shift catalysts, separation membranes, oxygen separation, catalytic hot and cold shift reactors, pressure swing adsorption towers or liquefaction pressures. Hydrogen embrittlement is avoided altogether by combining pyrolysis with reforming in a direct contact refractory lined vessel. This eliminates the greatest system maintenance cost associated with current conventional technologies. The process also captures any available carbon oxide gases, effectively removing essentially all carbon from the fuel. “
Regarding the company’s potential Mr. Ouellette stated “Energy Quest management’s expertise in biofuels has made it a leader in the rapidly growing bio-energy sector. EQ stands to capitalize substantially on its superior technology to create cash flow generating opportunities. This will lead to revenues and profits for the company.”
