As the market leader for waste pressure power, Pressure Core has taken the initiative to complete a "General Technology" Lifecycle Assessment (LCA) that proves the efficacy of utilizing pipeline waste pressure to reduce grid emissions in the United States. The LCA was completed on July 3, 3025 with support from the University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign (UIUC), Pressure Core's LCA provides a scientific analysis of the ability of waste pressure to generate zero-emission clean energy. This report analyzed the life cycle environmental impacts, primarily the life cycle GHG
emissions of a waste pressure energy recovery system intended for installation at pressure
reduction stations within gas transmission and distribution networks or processes where gas pressure is reduced, to generate electricity to displace energy consumed from the grid. The results of this study will be utilized to satisfy the requirements of Title 26, Chapter I, Subchapter A, Part 1 § 1.45Y-5 of the Code of Federal Regulations on "Greenhouse gas emissions rates for qualified facilities under section 45Y" of the Internal Revenue Code.
