Isolated grid 'mini utility' Applicable to industrialised and developing nations alike, waste gasification allows communities and industries to take charge of their wastes and create their own energy products. USD5 trillion conservative global potential.

Distributed power, grid connected, industrial waste utilisation Industries in developing nations as well as fully developed regions with modem infrastructure produce massive amounts of wastes. Most such wastes have a negative value (disposal costs) yet contain sufficient calorific value to be gasified and converted to valuable energy products. The advantages of gasifying these wastes is significant as industry can eliminate disposal fees, use energy internally and derive revenues from electricity sales to the grid. Landfill bound municipal solid waste in the G7 countries alone amounts to 16 billion tons per year, 80% of these wastes are usable in our gasification systems. These wastes, alone, would provide 700,000 MW of renewable electricity and define a potential market for 300,000 of our 150 TPD units or USD9 trillion global potential.
