Green Energy from Municipal Waste
Waste2Tricity has a business plan based on a simple premise - applying the most efficient and economical Technologies to achieving effective conversion of scrap carbon to electricity. W2T has exclusive UK rights for waste derived H2 for the AFC Energy low cost alkaline fuel cells.
By integrating Alkaline fuel cells with proven conversion technologies W2T can increase electricity output by up to 130% - from the same amount of feedstock.
W2T is a British venture established to make waste-to-energy more efficient and economically viable by implementing a unique combination of new generation alkaline fuel cells with waste conversion technologies such as plasma gasification, anaerobic digestion and other existing proven technologies. This system has significant environmental and cost benefits over other methods of electricity generation from MSW.
A 2010 report from the Institute of Mechanical Engineers ENERGY FROM WASTE, A WASTED OPPORTUNITY? highlights the opportunity the U.K. is missing - read full report.
Waste2Tricity will take carbon based waste, either municipal solid waste (MSW) or waste from business and industry (C&I) and, by converting it into clean electricity, play a major role in the reduction of rubbish going to landfill and potentially make a significant contribution to the UK electricity supply. AND at the same time as creating clean hydrogen for the fuel cells a stream of capture ready pure CO2 is generated - making alkaline fuel cells the ideal technology to efficiently produce low carbon, or potentially carbon negative, electricity once storage technologies are established.
