Frequently Asked Questions
General Questions
1. What does your company do?
We facilitate power-from-waste projects by matching businesses with the right technology providers. Our goal is to turn non-recycled waste into low-cost, green power, and We match you with the appropriate technology to deal with the waste such as anaerobic digestion units, pyrolysis, gasification and AD slurry covers.
2. What is power-from-waste?
Power-from-waste refers to the process of generating electricity or heat by treating waste materials. These processes aim to divert waste from landfills while creating a sustainable energy source.
3. Why should I consider power-from-waste solutions?
Power-from-waste solutions offer a sustainable way to manage waste and generate green power, reducing both your carbon footprint and your operational costs.
4. What types of waste can be used?
We can facilitate solutions for a broad spectrum of non-recycled waste materials including industrial waste, organic waste, and much more. However, it's worth noting that we are unable to work with e-waste, sand, glass, or ceramics.
5. How do I know which technology is best for me?
We have in-house expertise with a deep understanding of a variety of technologies and an extensive network of 150+ technology providers. When you provide us with your project parameters, our team will assess your unique requirements. Leveraging our technology-agnostic approach, we will match you with the most appropriate technology and provider for your specific needs, ensuring the best fit for your waste management and power generation goals.
Calculator Tool
6. How does the calculator tool work?
Our advanced calculator tool is designed to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of your project's scope. By inputting various parameters such as the type and volume of waste, and your energy needs, the tool estimates crucial variables. These include the scale of the project, potential savings, and expected returns on investment (ROI). This helps you to quickly gauge the feasibility and profitability of a power-from-waste solution.
7. What parameters do I need to input into the calculator?
Typically, you'll need to input details like the type and amount of waste generated and your energy needs.
8. Is the calculator free to use?
Yes, the calculator is free and open for anyone to use. We understand that obtaining such estimates from technology providers can be a lengthy and cumbersome process. Our tool aims to simplify this, giving you fast, reliable figures to aid in your decision-making.
Technology Providers
9. How do you select technology providers?
We have a rigorous selection process that involves comprehensive due diligence, site visits, and performance evaluations. Our team assesses each provider's track record, technology reliability, customer satisfaction, and compliance with environmental regulations. This exhaustive vetting process ensures that we only recommend technology providers who meet our stringent criteria for quality and reliability.
10. Can I choose my own technology provider?
Absolutely. While our platform is optimised to find the best match for your specific needs, we present you with multiple options. This enables you to be a significant part of the decision-making process. If you prefer a particular technology provider, we can certainly incorporate that into the project planning.
Costs and Financing
13. What are the costs involved?
Costs can vary widely depending on factors such as the technology used and the scale of the project. Typically, there's an initial cost for a feasibility study, which includes lab analysis of the waste material to determine its suitability for power generation. Other costs include planning & permissions, equipment, installation, and operational expenses.
14. Do you offer financing options?
We work with financial partners to provide various financing options that can be customised to meet your needs. Please get in contact with us to discuss further.
Project Implementation
15. How long does it take to implement a project?
The timeline for project implementation can vary based on its complexity and scale. Smaller projects, such as AD slurry covers and anaerobic digestion units, might take as few as 3-6 months to complete. For larger, more complex installations like pyrolysis or gasification plants, the timeline may extend to 12-24 months. This includes the time needed for feasibility studies, procurement, construction, and commissioning of the facility.
16. What is the process after we decide to proceed?
After you decide to proceed, we will facilitate the contract, oversee the implementation, and provide ongoing support to ensure the project's success.
