Pearse Buckley Sustainable Energy Ireland Energy from Waste
Industry Perspective A waste management solution A waste recovery process A cost saving SEI Perspective Renewable energy Security of supply Greenhouse gas abatement WHY ENERGY FROM WASTE?
Mass burn Novel technologies Gasification, pyrolysis, etc. Anaerobic Digestion Organic fraction of waste stream Landfills TYPES OF ENERGY FROM WASTE
Input 146,000 tonnes per year Cattle, pig & poultry manure Organic food waste Output 2.1 MWe/14.4 GWhe 15 GWhth to future DH system Digestate to fertiliser Case Study –Holsworthy Biogas Plant
Capital cost €3,500/kW O & M €350/kW TYPICAL COSTS
Waste management through Added Value Community involvement dimension Renewable Energy Secure energy supply GHG savings Holsworthy 10,500 tonnes/yr – power generation 4,000 tonnes/yr – district heating Avoided CH4 emissions BENEFITS
