Turning mixed solid waste that can’t be recycled into hydrogen, power, heat, or cooling that can be used right away in the area.
Waste is made everywhere, and even the most ambitious circular economy plans predict that several hundred million tons of trash that can’t be recycled will be made all over the world. No longer is it okay to dump and put this trash in a landfill. And large-scale burning is having trouble because of rising costs, toxic ash leftovers, stricter rules on emissions, and social opposition. In addition to recycling leftovers, wastes like medical waste and other hazardous wastes need to be destroyed in a way that has the least impact on the environment and uses the least amount of money and energy as possible. This is important so that developing markets can afford proper treatment and waste doesn’t leak into cities, rivers, and the ocean. Plasma Assisted Gasification (PAG) is a clean energy recovery technology that turns non-recyclable waste into hydrogen power, heat, or greenhouse gas-free thermal cooling for direct local use, without leaving toxic residues or causing urban stress.
Positive facts about PAG – Plasma Assisted Gasification
Treats 8,000 – 16,000 tons of medical or hazardous waste per year
Zero toxic ash
Output of 100kg of clean, local and affordable hydrogen per ton of waste
More than 2 tons of CO2e emissions avoided per ton treated (compared to landfill)
4-7 year project payback time compared to 9-11 years for incineration
