According to data released by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), biomass has a carbon emission intensity of 18 g/(kW·h), comparable to wind power and negligible compared to fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas. As a result, biomass energy is considered a theoretically "zero-carbon" fuel. ...
Exploring the Four Primary Raw Materials for RDF Alternative Fuels: How to Elevate Solid Waste to the Spotlight! Driven by the global energy transition, RDF (Refuse-Derived Fuel) has emerged as a popular alternative to fossil fuels, thanks to its resource recovery and low-carbon attributes. ...
If you were a coal-burning company, would you like to choose $60 alternative fuels per ton or $180 coal fuels per ton? Of course, such a direct comparison is not reasonable because alternative fuels differ from coal in terms of calorific value of combustion and disposal costs. ...
Encouraging the application of alternative energy sources such as hydrogen, biofuels and waste-derived fuels in the steel, cement, chemical and other industries will help reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The preparation of solid recovered fuel (SRF)/refused-derived fuel (RDF) from general ...
Internationally, Refuse Derived Fuel (hereinafter referred to as "RDF") is regarded as a new way of waste harmless, recycling and reduction. ...
By using the CW bale opener, our RDF feeding process was simplified, offering more time for general system maintenance and fuel stock management, and optimizing alternative fuel logistics, explains Mr. Hernán Chantiri, InterCement project ...
The operations director of North-East-based JBT Waste Services talks RWW through the family-owned company’s multiple-waste-stream operations and skip-hire service, and its relationship with Cross Wrap for the refuse-derived fuel side of ...
There are many different waste streams that are produced. Some are suitable for incineration and for others, incineration is an essential method of disposal. ...
At present, the main ways of municipal solid waste (MSW) treatment are landfill, composting, incineration, and so on. But these treatments still require a lot of lands. RDF preparation technology has obvious advantages in environmental protection and resource utilization, and will be better developed in the future. It brings vitality to waste energy and becomes a new growth point in the field of ...
The 2017 SQALAR software tool from EVK enables quantitative values of chemical parameters to be determined from spatially resolved images, acquired in real-time, of a product stream. This offers many possibilities to control or optimise processes. One such example is described in detail next. ...
End-of-life tires are a challenging type of waste since they are difficult to shred and are expensive to treat and get rid of. However, tire derived fuel TDF is an extremely good alternative to the traditional fuels used in cement kilns, like oil, coal, and petroleum coke. ...

The UK waste industry now demands you are across every aspect of your operations, the law and environmental standards so a professional partner who provides the best advice is crucial. This prevents expensive mistakes, provides insight and ensures the best business model for your RDF waste disposal requirements. Inciner8 has a team of engineers, technical experts and project advisors who will ...
For example, some three million tonnes of residual waste are currently being exported as refuse-derived fuel (RDF) to the continent each year. If regulatory and political developments make this more expensive then the conditions for domestic development of further residual waste treatment facilities becomes much more attractive. ...
As organic materials make up a greater and greater proportion of municipal waste streams, creative alternatives such as anaerobic digestion are needed. Although local governments often hesitate to experiment with technologies on the taxpayers’ dime, several cities are venturing forward into using anaerobic digestion for diverting waste and producing energy. Many of these efforts are the ...
MCFC project by CETAGUA (Mataró – Spain) Reducing the carbon footprint of our society is imperative. This can be achieved by capturing and confining anthropogenic CO2 emissions as well as by replacing fossil-based fuels with renewable or waste-derived fuels. MCFCs (Molten Carbonate Fuel Cells) are unique in being able to do both these things. Thanks to their operating principle, ...
Biogas desulphurization and siloxanes abatement. Case study : MCFC project by CETAGUA (Mataró – Spain) Reducing the carbon footprint of our society is imperative. This can be achieved by capturing and confining anthropogenic CO2 emissions as well as by replacing fossil-based fuels with renewable or waste-derived fuels. MCFCs (Molten Carbonate Fuel Cells) are unique in being able ...
Demand for UK refuse derived fuel (RDF) exports to fill up incinerator capacity in Europe is likely to continue even if Britain leaves the European Union in June, waste experts have suggested. ...
GPT Waste recommended the implementation of an innovative project that would turn the garments into Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF). This process uses new technology to capture the energy in non-recyclable waste and transform it into bricks or pellets that can be used to replace fossil fuels like coal or oil. ...
The 2014 figures show that RDF exports grew by more than 780,000 tonnes in 2014 compared to 2013, when 1.58 million tonnes of refuse derived fuel were exported). This is significantly higher than the 892,900 tonnes recorded as exported during 2012 and just 272,000 tonnes during 2011. ...
By collecting and diverting food waste from a local landfill, two Sacramento-area companies, CleanWorld and Atlas Disposal Industries, have opened the Sacramento Biodigester — the first closed-loop organic waste project in the country, in which a portion of Atlas Disposal's refuse fleet is powered by the veiy waste that it hauls. Atlas Disposal hauls food and organic waste ...
