In an atmosphere of uncertainty brought on by falling energy revenues and dwindling gas reserves, hope still remains for Trinidad and Tobago’s economy through innovation and new technology.
I recently spoke with polymath and inventor Christopher Boodoosingh, who has filed a patent with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for an invention called “The Energy Tree – Integrated Thorium-Powered Green Fuel Synthesis System” (US Patent 63/972,950, filed April 23, 2025).
Mr Boodoosingh explained that his patent-pending design, once implemented, has the potential to transform Trinidad and Tobago’s energy sector. The technology is designed to operate the country’s existing energy assets at maximum capacity while commanding a 30 to 50 per cent price premium in decarbonising global markets.
