Waste to Energy Pros & Cons, Benefits & Drawbacks
Waste-to-energy technology transforms waste into resources, reducing landfill volumes while generating energy. While it offers environmental benefits and material recovery, it involves high costs and emissions challenges. Balancing recycling and WTE is key for sustainable waste management systems…
Clarification of Permitted Biomass Boiler Fuels for Wood Recyclers
A recent development in biomass boiler fuels and the fuels permitted in the UK is that Wood Recyclers are seeking clarification regarding permitted Biomass Boiler Fuels. Back in 2017 when we first published this article, the Wood Recyclers Association (WRA)) was calling for clarification on exactly what grades of wood are acceptable for small-scale RHI […]
Sustainable Waste Management & the Impact of Dirty Plastics and Bioplastics in OFMSW on Efficient Energy Recovery
Sustainable waste management is the holy grail of the concept of the circular economy. Unless the waste industry can achieve that on a global scale, a truly sustainable world is unachievable. It’s crucial to comprehend how the effectiveness of an MRF or ERF in achieving the clean extraction of plastics and bioplastics from the OFMSW […]
A Failed Energos Vision: The Story of the Derby MSW Gasification Project
This salutary story began when one of the country’s biggest suppliers of energy-from-waste technology at that time, Energos, went into administration due to problems with earlier projects. There is nothing wrong with the concept of the combustion technology known as gasification. But, the translation of the concept into reality in the UK has so far […]
Examples of Renewable Resources
Renewable resources are things like water, soil, air, forests and animals.
First Use of Biomethane for Transport Fuel – 1st UK Biobus – 2008 Camden Council, London
The historic first use of biomethane (now known as rCNG) in a council vehicle in the UK was in the London Borough of Camden. The fuel is now increasingly used for powering buses. The main reason for using it is its comparatively clean burning characteristics, which means fewer exhaust fumes and lower air pollution, making […]
UK Energy Security – 5 Ways to Use Waste to Create Energy in the UK
UK Energy Security is woefully inadequate and the consensus is that we need to generate more energy in the UK, so why not use our waste to generate more energy? The UK needs urgent action, and not just be looking to use energy from waste as a way to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. It’s […]
Common Services Offered By Solar Companies in the Fight for GHG Reduction
The common services offered by Solar Companies matter more than you might think. Consider for a moment what solar energy can do for all nations in the fight against climate change. It’s massive. Right! But there is a tendency to think of solar panels as the be-all and end-all. In fact, a solar panel is […]
