Waste to Energy Concept (W2E)

The primary objective of the Kyoto Protocol is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions around the world and stop global warming. Many investments are being made in sustainable energy projects in a bid to curb CO2 emissions as much as possible. TW2E focuses on renewable energy based on waste streams that are converted into fuel and energy such as electricity and heat.

But the environmental impact can be reduced even more effectively by using existing waste heaps and streams to generate energy. These waste heaps and streams currently lie there rotting away or are used as fertilizer for agriculture, but CO2 trapped in waste is released into the atmosphere during the decaying process. By converting waste into a fuel early on using techniques such as fermentation or gasification, decentralized energy installations can generate emission-free energy. Gasses emitted from the energy generation units can be cleaned without any environmental impact.

The waste streams that can be used for this purpose include livestock manure (pigs, chickens and cows), offal, household waste and waste wood.

The W2E concept involves, amongst other things, providing advice about waste handling, realizing the entire W2E installation, selling the generated electricity or arranging financing. The international focus of TW2E results in customers and partners all over the world. For more information about TW2E: www.TW2E.nl
