Your donation to one of the 5E humanitarian foundation projects below allows the 5E team to buy and assemble an SVR (Solar Vaporization Reformer) site demonstration module at our cost to be shipped and set up at each location. SVR and supporting equipment for converting trash into green diesel,  jet fuel (sustainable aviation fuel or SAF), electricity, and clean water create a positive environmental impact by cleaning up garbage from inside communities, beaches, and landfills, as well as producing economic value. These facilities  revitalize areas that have been impacted by waste streams and poverty and are designed to be operated by local people, giving back to their communities.

Ghana 🇬🇭

Despite its fairly robust economy, which many people attribute to a lower rate of corruption than some other countries in the region, Ghana, like many countries in Africa still has significant struggles with many people living in poverty. Approximately 24% of the population or a little over 7 million people are classified in multidimensional poverty. The ministry of agriculture had asked colleagues of the 5E team if they had solutions around cleaning water for drinking by removing mercury left in water streams by illegal mining. The 5E team has developed a full system for cleaning up drinking water in Ghana and is focusing on building and shipping to Ghana some key technology pieces as part of the larger water treatment plan. The 5E team has also been working on an Integrated Utility System that may solve not only the water problems but also make significant positive impacts both in infrastructure and economically.

With nearly 12 million people in Haiti, they are close to the population of New York City.  Approaching 50% live below the poverty line.  Haiti is the poorest country in the Americas and one of the poorest in the world. The latest official poverty estimated (2012) suggested that over 6 million Haitians lived below the poverty line of US$2.41 per day, and more than 2.5 million fell below the extreme poverty line of US$1.12 per day.   

Again, a donation to our 5E Haiti Campaign could make a significant impact for good on one of the poorest countries in the world and a very challenged population. Read more about our Haiti project here.

Haiti 🇭🇹
Dominican Republic 🇩🇴

The DR also has about 11.5 million people, and that population is growing.  About 23% live in poverty.  The overall GDP of the DR is 6 times higher than Haiti and the life expectancy is also significantly higher.  One reason 5E wants to put a facility into the DR is because of the many connections the 5E team has to the DR on both a government and technical level.  A 5E installation in the DR will help them, and act as a beach head for helping establish additional facilities in the DR and then also in Haiti.   Read more about our Dominican Republic project here.

With a population of more than 115 million, about 15 % of the population is classified as living in poverty, with about 3 million families trapped in this cycle. Much of the waste is dumped into bays and washed out to sea contributing to the worldwide plastic contamination of ocean.  Land dumped trash tends to “bleed” into the drinking ground water contaminating water for the more settled populations.  Not only will 5E Sun to SAF projects help eliminate garbage getting into the oceans,  the Philippines are a major stop for internal flights as well as a huge refueling port for ocean going container ships, the Net Carbon Zero green diesel and the Sustainable Aviation Fuel have an immediate market with very positive carbon footprint impacts for the planet.  Read more about our Philippines project here.

Philippines 🇵🇭
Tonga 🇹🇴

The country of Tonga is made up of about 150 islands, with significant populations on four or five of them. All of the electrical power for the main island, and for all of the Tongan Islands for that matter, comes from diesel power generators with some supplemental solar. The supply of diesel comes thousands of miles by tanker from Singapore. Because diesel is a commodity, and the price tends to fluctuate dramatically with speculation on supply and demand, islands like Tonga have wildly variable cost of electricity. After deploying the test module in Tonga and recording the data from it, our engineering team can finish sizing the rest of the facility to match the amount of paper and plastic trash that they would like to convert to diesel rather than go to landfill. Read more about our Tonga project here.
