The goal is to create byproducts from the waste that will generate revenue. The eight byproducts that can be created are:
1. Syngas: a synthetic gas that is comparable to natural gas or propane and is usable as a feedstock to power a gas turbine. This gas turbine in turn provides megawatts of power to put onto the grid.
2. Biodiesel: a clean diesel fuel product that is carbon neutral and is usable in all diesel engines or motors.
3. Jet fuel: a clean jet fuel for jet engines.
4. Metals: with the many metals pulled in from the waste, recycled metal can be sold and distributed.
5. Clean water: as part of the process potable water is created.
6. Recycling: plastic, metals, paper, etc., is part of the process.
7. Ash: an ash composite is left behind which can be sold for a wide variety of uses, including agricultural, industrial, biochar, fertilizer, and other purposes.
8. Carbon dioxide: indoor vertical food growing has a need for carbon dioxide to accelerate the growth of their food, and the facilities pay for carbon dioxide.
The process is carbon neutral/carbon zero and should qualify for many state and federal tax credits, renewable energy credits (RECs), and international tax credits (ITCs).
All types of waste will be accepted and are usable including municipal solid waste (MSW), plastics, metals, construction, biomass, etc. In addition to the waste that will produce income from the byproducts, all waste companies in the US pay tipping fees when they dump the waste in a standard landfill facility. These fees can range from $30 to $90 per ton.
Our projects are designed around a facility that can process at least 2000 tons of waste per day.
At each facility, the composition of the waste that will be provided will be analyzed to create the most accurate plan for the byproducts that will be produced.
The following is a graphic to picture how the process works:
