Andrew White

Chief Executive Officer, CHAR Technologies Ltd.

Andrew is the co-inventor of SulfaCHAR, an environmentally-friendly biogas cleaning solution that addresses the growing $3B global problem caused by hydrogen sulfide. After receiving funding from the SD Natural Gas fund CHAR is constructing a SulfaCHAR production facility, which is on-track for commissioning in January. While small at 1-tonne per day production capacity, it will lead to 400 tonnes of CO2,eq carbon sequestered, and reduction of 50 tonnes of SOx emissions, per year and will be a springboard for increasing production by an order of magnitude.  Other recent milestones? Taking the company public and a first sale for $300K!
