Consistently low emissions are achieved by the patented ENERGOS design.
The thermal conversion process is strictly controlled and monitored by proprietary software. This unique system reduces the need to invest in high-cost, end of process flue gas cleaning systems making the ENERGOS technology cost-competitive, efficient and environmentally compliant.
In the UK, for example, the ENERGOS technology is classified as an Advanced Conversion Technology (ACT) and the electricity produced from the biomass fraction of the waste qualifies for Renewable Obligation Certificates (ROCs).
The proposed introduction of the Renewables Heat Incentive (RHI) will further incentivise the supply of steam and hot water to industrial processes and district heating networks
ENERGOS is a leader in converting waste into an abundant, carbon-neutral* source of clean energy. It may surprise you, but an ENERGOS AS kWh has lower green house gas impact than a kWh from an oil or coal-fired power plant.**
* The biomass fraction of waste is classified as carbon-neutral. Fossil fractions (e.g. plastic) are not.
** Refer to IEA Bioenergy "Municipal Solid Waste and its Role in Sustainability".
Superior Emissions Record
- ENERGOS emissions are significantly below EU limits (2000/76/EC)
- ENERGOS uses a patented two-stage thermal treatment process with gasification and high-temperature oxidation
- Fuel is thermally converted into high temperature flue gas, principally O2, CO2, H2O and N2 and stable inorganic bottom ash. The thermal energy in the flue gas is recovered by a Heat Recovery Steam Generator, while contaminants in the flue gas are removed in the flue gas cleaning system
- ENERGOS emissions are regularly verified and approved by Environmental Agencies at all operating plants
The ENERGOS design simultaneously achieves:
- Low carbon content in bottom ash (less than 3% TOC)
- High degree of cracking of organic components
- Simultaneous low and stable Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) emissions
