Do You Have A Waste To Energy Project We Can Help With?
Who we are
We are a fast-growing clean-tech company with the mission to develop innovative solutions to solve the energy trilemma; security, affordability and sustainability.
We turn complex waste materials including biomass into Syngas for thermal applications, electricity, biochar, desalinated water and clean cooking using advanced thermo-chemical conversion technologies like pyrolysis and gasification.
We want to test different waste derived feedstocks in our prototype and deploy pilot plants at end user premises at off-grid locations to justify techno-economics of larger scale integrated systems.
Our Pyrogasifier system uses all types of dry biomass waste containing <30% moisture. Around 2,200 tonnes of waste per year is required as feedstock to run the Pyrogasifier process of 50kg/h scale.
Key components affecting the quality and bioenergy potential of waste feedstocks are:
– Moisture content (dry is better than wet <30%)
– Ash content (less is better than more <40%)
– Calorific value (higher is better than lower >10MJ/kg)
Agricultural waste such as livestock manures and crop residues from individual smallholder farms, MSW are ideal feedstocks for our system. We can process waste to end product in 30 minutes.
Our Business Plan
- Return on Investment is 20%.
- Breakeven in 3 years.
- Business model based on Build Own Operate (BOO), Sub Licensing and Turnkey solutions.
- Our system has better viability for industrial applications to replace conventional fuels such as LPG, coal, furnace oil and natural gas.
- Our small scale 50kW system is ready for testing a variety of waste feedstocks you may have.
- Our next scale up is 250kg per hour system with the maximum 1 tonne per hour scale possibility.
- Our system is built upon continuous improvement, cost reductions, profit maximisation, rapid deployment strategy while building our team and building relationships with industry, investors and regulators.
Pyrolysis
Pyrolyser
Our patent pending Pyrolysis technology is energy self-sufficient to thermo-chemically convert biomass residues of in the absence of oxygen into biochar and heat. Combustible gases and bio-char are produced which can then be used in soil amendment and heat recovery applications.
Gasification
Pyrogasifier
Through the process of gasification, our patent pending Pyrogasifier technology converts biomass into Syngas which in turn creates biochar. Heat or electricity can be produced from Syngas as it leaves the Pyrogasifier, can be used in existing boilers, furnaces, gas turbines and internal combustion engines.
Biochar
Our system can process all kinds of sizes and shapes of waste residues to energy in the form of heat, electricity and biochar.
UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Our technology directly addresses the following UN SDGs:
- SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation Pyrogasifier process heat can be used to sterilise contaminated drinking water
- SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy from waste that can be quickly
deployed in urban end off-grid rural communities. Affordability based on value addition to waste, local supply chains leading to reduced energy costs and circular economy principles. UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) - SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth Providing training and creating skilled rural and farming jobs linked to our technology. Value addition to biomass and waste residues. Economic growth associated with energy access in off grid locations.
- SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production Replacing unsustainable consumption of charcoal, firewood, coal, petrol, diesel with consumption of materials derived from agricultural residues and waste.
- SDG 13: Climate Action Reduce CO2 emissions by displacing the use of fossil fuels, reducing burning and decomposition of agri-residues and manage waste sustainably. Our biochar product is a carbon sequestration tool when biochar is used as a soil enhancer.
- SDG 15: Life on Land Displace use of firewood helping to decrease deforestation. Use of biochar as soil amender can increase soil water retention, reduce soil nutrient leaching, carbon sequestration and help avert deforestation.
