WTE Materials Exchange
If you wish to trade in commodities related to Waste to Energy (WTE Materials),
Please ADD a request to the
WTE Materials
exchange.
The exchange service was established to create by-product synergy
by matching waste material generators directly with beneficial users of those materials.
For several decades traditional thinking surounding Waste to Energy (WTE) or Energy From Waste (EFW)
has been largly confined to the combustion of waste materials for the production of electricity, steam or heat.
Changing attitudes towards Environmental Sustainability and the efforts for the elimination of emmissions
the expantion of the 4Rs Recovery Strategy to include concepts surounding
Mass Balance
Equilibrium and Molecular Element
Regeneration
have advanced the evolution of the
Recovery 2.0
approach.
Traditionally the waste recovery sector has been focused on the conversion of waste materials for the recovery
of the energy values contained within the waste material such as BTU's or
proteins.
Generally these materials have been the residual by-products that could not otherwise be easily recycled.
The
Waste to Energy
process has traditionally been focused on capturing the BTU values primarily to produce Steam or Electricity.
As technology develops new options for the conversion of wastes into
BioEnergy Renewables
are emerging.
This thermal reduction process partially reduces or breaks down materials into
Hydrocarbon
chains.
As sustainability efforts become more widely adopted, more complex or mixed materials may be recovered
by the complete
regeneration
back into raw primary elements.
RDF Refuse Derived Fuel
If you wish to trade in
RDF Refuse Derived Fuel,
Please ADD a request to the WTE Waste to Energy exchange.
Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) sorted from municipal solid waste (MSW) with the non-combustible fraction removed.
Also known as solid recovered fuel/ specified recovered fuel (SRF).
RDF is derived as the
Light Fraction
from Resource Recovery operations.
Waste to Energy (WTE)
The Waste to Energy industry is reliant upon identifying waste streams with high BTU values or
capturing WTE materials from
Resource Recovery
facilities that successfully achieve the removal of inert or non-combustible materials
If you wish you may track the
WTE market trends
with the Waste to Energy Composite Index.
WTE Materials
The Cement industry is an example of an industry that benefits from use of WTE materials to fuel the kilns to
reduce the reliance on virgin fuels that results in resource conservation and cost reduction.
Organic Waste to Electricity (OWTE)
One approach toward Waste to Energy is the conversion of
organic wastes
to electricity.
This is a method where assorted organic wastes,
food wastes
and sewage are digested to capture raw biogas,
the
biogas
is scrubbed to produce Renewable Natural Gas (RNG).
The RNG is utilized as a feed stock in hydrogen fuel cells to produce electricity.
Carbon
In an Organic Waste to Electricity
(OWTE)
process
Biosolids
from the digester and byproducts from the fuel cell process are managed in a
carbon recovery
system.
Advanced Carbon materials may be produced for applications like next generation carbon batteries.
Electricity
The electricity produced from an Organic Waste to Electricity
(OWTE)
system may be consumed directly,
fed into the grid or saved in a battery storage system.
OWTE is a green power source that is ESG sensitive as opposed to traditional fossil fuels.
