How the plan works

Three levers. One clean operation.

Every ULTRAOX enrolled in UltraGreen combines on-site renewable supply, verified emissions reduction, and ongoing efficiency improvements, audited annually against baseline.

100%

Using renewable energy

Every ULTRAOX under the UltraGreen plan is powered by certified renewable electricity, either through on-site solar pairing or verified green-energy contracts matched to the unit's annual consumption.

Tons of CO₂ per year

A single ULTRAOX unit enrolled in UltraGreen avoids up to 130 tonnes of CO₂ emissions every year compared to equivalent cylinder-supplied oxygen, combining generation efficiency and logistics elimination.

Increasing power efficiency

Variable speed drives, heat recovery, and load-matching control reduce kWh per m³ of oxygen produced by up to 35% compared to baseline PSA installations, improving over the full service life.

Carbon footprint

On-site generation beats cylinder supply on every axis.

Comparing 15-year total emissions for a typical 150-bed hospital oxygen supply. Traditional cylinder delivery requires continuous truck logistics, cylinder refilling, and high-pressure storage. UltraGreen eliminates that chain entirely.

Case study · 2024

How a 220-bed hospital in Cabo Verde cut oxygen emissions by 185 tonnes a year.

When Hospital Agostinho Neto transitioned from imported cylinders to an UltraGreen-enrolled ULTRAOX ST in 2022, the Ministry of Health wanted both cost savings and verifiable emissions reductions. Thirty months of operational data confirm both.

"We gained energy independence, verified emissions data for our climate reporting, and eliminated a line item that was consuming a quarter of our operating budget. The system has not stopped once in thirty months."

The challenge

Cabo Verde imports nearly all medical oxygen by sea from mainland suppliers. Pre-2022, the hospital managed 4,800 cylinder deliveries per year with frequent stockouts, unpredictable lead times, and logistics costs rising 22% year-over-year. The carbon intensity of sea freight plus diesel distribution meant every cubic metre of oxygen carried a heavy emissions footprint.

The hospital needed a supply model that was cost-predictable, island-independent, and auditable for emissions reporting, without compromising on the 95%+ oxygen purity required by its ICU and surgical wards.

The UltraGreen solution

A ULTRAOX ST PSA generator with redundant compression, dual nitrogen-oxygen PSA columns, and a buffered high-pressure cylinder bank for emergency backup. Enrolled in UltraGreen, the unit runs on a combination of on-site solar (45% of annual demand) and certified green contracts covering the balance.

UltraCare preventive maintenance covers the first 10 years. Annual emissions reports are generated from built-in energy metering and shared with the Ministry of Health for national climate disclosure.
