REFUSE DERIVED FUEL(RDF) Gasifacation is well suited for clean disposal of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) • Separation process creates sellable side streams of recyclable plastics, metals and glass • Bulk reduction of 50% or more reduces landfill requirements dramatically • Gasifacation process destroys harmful bacteria and chemicals • Eliminates landfill methane emissions (greenhouse gas) • Tipping fees reduce ultimate cost of generated electricity • Eliminates groundwater contamination EEI Proprietary Work Product, Not For Reproduction
WOODY BIOMASS DISPOSAL Gasifacation is well suited for disposal of woody biomass (forest debris, tree trimmings, etc.) • Converts renewable waste material into sellable electricity • Reduces wood fire and other hazards from environment. • Reduces / Eliminates decaying wood emissions (greenhouse gas) • Eliminates wood land filling EEI Proprietary Work Product, Not For Reproduction
ANIMAL MANURE DISPOSAL Gasifacation can be used to eliminate animal manure under certain circumstances (requires efficient collection systems or covered tanks) • Eliminates groundwater / soil contamination • Eliminates methane (greenhouse gas) emissions • Eliminates contaminating land spreading • Converts waste into material electricity EEI Proprietary Work Product, Not For Reproduction
GASIFACATION WASTE TO ENERGY BENEFITS SUMMARY • Eliminates hazardous land fills or land spreading • Eliminates / reduces Greenhouse Gas Emissions • Utilizes a Renewable Resource • Carbon neutral process • Generates Sellable Electricity without fossil fuels • Can be a profitable electricity generator • Small plants are easier to site - locate close to waste producer • May be eligible for carbon trading EEI Proprietary Work Product, Not For Reproduction
