The world has a waste problem. Landfills around the planet are reaching capacity, and in many countries those barriers have already been breached. There are various systems in place to address food waste, but what about the rest? A century-old technology is being revitalized to convert waste into energy through a process called plasma gasification. Bill Smith from XcelPlus International joins RENEWables to discuss how this technology can unlock previously unusable energy sources.
When we think about the circular economy, we might be limiting our thinking to end of life. the Consortium for Waste to Syngas has some incredibly useful information on ways to potentially create a truly circular economy.
On this episode we discuss biochar's role in protected cropping; growing plants in controlled environments. We discuss the various components of the pyrolysis and gasification process, their applications and the economics including the keys to open carbon markets. Our guest is Peter Burgess, Managing Director of Rainbow Bee Eater and ANZBIG's Vice Chair. Peter envisions the major roles for bioenergy and biochar. He has over thirty years of operational and commercial experience in industrial mining as an engineer, manager and leader. Rainbow Bee Eater's mission is to be a world-leading carbon sequestration and renewable energy business. ECHO2, the first commercial process that they have developed, produces low cost, hydrogen-rich Syngas and high-quality Biochar from organic residues such as agricultural crop and timber wastes that would otherwise be burned or land-filled. The first commercial demonstration module was commissioned at Holla Fresh, a hydroponics herb grower in Mt Gambier, South Australia in 2019. Microsoft, Shopify and other entities seeking to become carbon neutral, purchased ECHO2 carbon removal certificates (CORCs) via Puro.earth exchange in 2020. The next ECHO2 module projects are being planned in Victoria, South Australia, Queensland and Western Australia.
OSCAR is advancing innovative technology for managing waste in space.
enVerde converts organic waste into sustainable clean energy. The Office for Technology Commercialization (OTC) is the office at the University of Minnesota whose mission is to facilitate the transfer of technology to licensees. This allows for the development of new products and services that benefit the public good. It also fosters economic growth and generates revenue. Since 2006, the University has spun out 170 startup companies. But there is a challenge. Technology transfer is not simple. For a venture to be successful, it must be desirable (the market wants it), feasible (an organization can produce a market solution), and viable (the cost structure and returns are sustainable). There is a vast desert from license to commercialization. Research can create an idea that is desirable but is not viable or sustainable. It takes time to prove out and commercialize a technology. The time and effort to commercialize a technology is often called the commercialization gap. On today’s episode of Social Entrepreneur, we talk to Dave Goebel, CEO and Founder of enVerde. enVerde has licensed a thermochemical catalytic technology from the University of Minnesota. The catalyst converts organic material into heat energy. enVerde provides circular economy solutions by repurposing carbon-containing waste into clean, sustainable energy and chemicals. The Problem with Organic Waste Every day, the average American generates 4.4 pounds of waste. That includes paper, plastics, yard trimmings, food waste, wood, rubber, leather, textiles, and more. At the same time, the US Energy Information Administration predicts nearly 50% increase in world energy usage by 2050. What if we could use organic waste to provide clean, renewable energy? That’s the promise of enVerde. They are addressing the nearly infinite amount of organic waste and the growing need for energy. They do so in an environmentally friendly, cost-effective manner. Waste becomes a resource instead of a problem. “Waste is stored energy and we have a clean way to liberate, free, that energy for our use,” says enVerde Founder and CEO, Dave Goebel. “We economically transform organic wastes into a product called syngas. We also produce heat in the process. Both syngas and heat can be power sources for making electricity. “Syngas is also convertible into new clean fuels like hydrogen, methanol, or dimethyl ether. It can be green precursor for other chemical processes displacing petroleum products. “Agricultural, industrial, commercial, and other organizations decrease their operating expenses by significantly reducing their waste streams and creating clean fuels/heat they can use locally and immediately.” Recent Successes enVerde is finding some successes along the way. The inventor of the technology, Dr. Paul Dauenhauer won a MacArthur Foundation Genius Award. enVerde was also selected as a member of the next cohort with Creative Destruction Lab. Creative Destruction Lab accelerator program is based out of Calgary, Alberta.

È il primo prototipo integrato di foglia artificiale: lo ha messo a punto un team di ricercatori del Centro per le Tecnologie Future Sostenibili - CSFT - dell'Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia di Torino col contributo del politecnico torinese.Con foglia artificiale si intende un sistema fotosintetico artificiale, più efficiente della fotosintesi clorofilliana presente in natura, che sia in grado, che a partire da acqua e co2 sia in grado di produrre molecole ad alto contenuto energetico utili all'uomo, come l'idrogeno appunto, ma anche come il metano o il metanolo, senz'altra fonte di energia che la luce del sole.Il dispositivo dell'IIT, in particolare, converte CO2 e acqua in un mix, detto Syngas, di idrogeno e monossido di carbonio per mezzo di catalizzatori basati su metalli comuni e a basso costo come il ferro e il titanio, e sarebbe in grado di convertire in combustibile i gas di scarico di una caldaia domestica con un solo metro quadro di esposizione al sole. Ospite Fabrizio Pirri, che coordina il team di ricercatori del Centro per le Tecnologie Future Sostenibili dell'IIT.
Astronauts don’t want to sit in their trash, so a team at NASA is working on a solution they call OSCAR.
Scientists at the University of Cambridge have successfully produced clean gas using an artificial leaf. The scientists created the leaf, which produces syngas, or synthetic gas, a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide, and some traces of carbon dioxide. Syngas is used to produce fuel, plastic, and fertilizer, to name a few. Sustainable production of syngas is crucial for the establishment of a chemical and fuel industry that is likewise sustainable. The artificial leaf mimics photosynthesis, a process wherein plants use sunlight to turn carbon dioxide and water into food. To harvest sunlight, two light absorbers are placed on the leaf. They work in tandem with a catalyst made from the chemical element cobalt. The device then needs to be submerged in water, where one light absorber will use the catalyst to make oxygen, while the other converts carbon dioxide and water into carbon monoxide and hydrogen. This process produces syngas. According to the scientists, the light absorbers can be used even with little sunlight, like during rainy or overcast days. Because of this, the innovation can be used anywhere and anytime in the world. The scientists also claim that their device is sustainable. Unlike other artificial leaf devices, their light absorbers are composed of materials that ease the conversion of carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide. Their device's catalyst is also low-cost and produces carbon monoxide more efficiently than others. Currently, the team is looking into ways to produce a sustainable liquid fuel that can be an alternative for petrol. Since syngas is a building block of liquid fuel, the next step for the scientists is to create fuel directly from carbon dioxide and water, instead of producing syngas first and then converting it.

Greening the gas: Welche Rolle hat grünes Gas im Energiesystem der Zukunft? Gas spielt eine wesentliche Rolle in der österreichischen Energieversorgung. Rund 8 Mrd. m³ Gas werden jährlich eingesetzt, insbesonders in der Industrie, zur Produktion von Strom und Fernwärme sowie zur Beheizung von Gebäuden. Um die gravierenden Auswirkungen der Klimakrise einzudämmen müssen Emissionen radikal reduziert werden. Die Antwort der österreichischen Gaswirtschaft auf diese Herausforderung ist die Strategie "Greening the Gas". Grünes Gas biogenen Ursprungs sowie synthetische Gase auf Basis von sauberem Wasserstoff sollen sukzessive das fossile Erdgas im Energiesystem ersetzen und positive Impulse für die lokale Wertschöpfung geben. Christoph Dolna-Gruber (Österreichische Energieagentur) befragt in dieser Ausgabe von Petajoule DI Peter Weinelt (Obmann des Fachverband Gas Wärme und Stellvertretender Generaldirektor der Wiener Stadtwerke) zu Hintergründen und Details der Strategie.
On the sideline of the FSR Policy Advisory Council meeting on the 5th and 6th of November 2018, Christophe Poillion (Vice President of European Affairs, GRT Gaz) and Tara Amirkhizi (Visiting PhD student, FSR) discuss the power to gas technology and the experience the French gas TSO has had with it so far. In an energy grid that perceives power and gas as a whole, Christophe describes power to gas as a conversion technology that can allow the already established gas grid to offer capacity and flexibility to the full energy system. Besides the grid services, power to gas is also a carbon capturing technology. Using the hydrogen from P2G, CO2 is converted to Syngas and be used in the gas grid. Pilot projects, such as the French project Jupiter 1000, are an approach for European TSOs to gain the technological expertise for the operation of power to gas facilities. These projects enable this technology to reach a certain maturity level, in order to be competitive. Besides the technology maturity, a well-functioning CO2 market and regulatory frameworks are also crucial in order to make the power to gas technology market ready.

Declining reserves and the associated increasing cost of oil and gas has prompted industry to look at alternative sources of energy. Alberta contains a great amount of coal resources at shallow depths that facilitate economical power generation; however, there are huge coal resources at depth that are currently not economic to mine. This represents a large untapped potential energy source for the province.
