Converting Waste to Energy - Case Study
Waste management is a necessity wherever people live, but traditionally waste is viewed as a problem, something that pollutes and needs reducing or mitigating. What if this mindset could be changed such that we value our waste as a source of bioenergy? Waste contains significant quantities of energy and, if we could harness this close to where the waste is generated and convert it to a useable ...

Environmental aspects and bioenergy projects
Nelson Lee emphasized the “need to involve an environmental professional” early and throughout the project cycle. “Otherwise you can get blindsided with what you don’t know.” He reviewed five project cycle stages. The concept stage involves project definition, due diligence, and approvals. Keystone worked with Balanced Power Engineering Inc. to examine the feasibility of bioenergy production ...

Economic assessment of regional bioenergy systems in Australia: a flow analysis application
This paper describes a modelling tool that integrates Material Flow Analysis, energy production and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions accounting for biomass flows at a regional scale. This tool allows comprehensive analysis of alternative systems for management of biomass waste and bioenergy production in regional areas. Different possible options for processing a range of biomass waste streams can ...

Honduras: Generating bioenergy from polluting waste ...
The idea came up during the latest Expobioenergía Workshop The baselines of this idea were drawn up during the Expobioenergía 2010 Workshop, “at some stage of the tour we made of the various companies and projects we had the chance to visit during the event”, explains Julio César Lucas, a member of the Honduran firm Quimys’ Oil S. de R.L. Following its ...

Focus Bioenergy No 6 2004: Waste - a source of energy of growing significance
We have to use the earth’s resources sparingly. Waste products that society generates can be recycled or used as a source of energy. Heat and electricity from waste combustion and biogas from digestion contribute some 8 TWh annually in Sweden. Waste stands for about 2 percent of used fuels in Swedish district heating. The importance of waste will rise rapidly in the near future. The potential for ...

Energy Mix: From Coal to Renewables
What energy sources are used in the UK to produce electricity? According to the BEIS (2022) the UK’s energy mix consists of primary oil (crude oil and Natural Gas Liquids), natural gas, primary electricity (consisting of nuclear, wind, solar and hydro) bioenergy and waste, and coal. In recent years, renewable energies have taken on an increasingly important role in energy production in the ...

Turning waste into power
Economic, social and environmental factors dictate the necessity to manage waste to a new level. Wastewater plants, landfills, farms and food plants are all the owners of biomass that can be digested to produce biogas and turned into power. Biogas can be burned directly in boilers for heat recovery and used for manufacturing, heating or cooling; this is the simplest method of direct biogas ...

EU bioenergy potential from a resource efficiency perspective
The bioenergy challenge The European Union has set itself the ambitious target to increase the share of renewable sources in final energy consumption to 20 % by 2020 (EC, 2009). This is motivated by the widespread recognition that using fossil fuels to generate energy causes significant harm to the environment and human well.being. Renewable energy technologies offer a way to increase resource ...

Energy at Wastewater Treatment Plants - A Short Primer
On the topic of wastewater, most people are understandably of the “flush and forget” variety. But today’s wastewaster professionals recognize that in the long term, our approach to sewage treatment needs to be less about “processing” wastewater, and more about “recovery” of limited resources such as water and energy from the incoming waste. ...
