1. About the firm

1.1 Who are we?

GreenE designs, builds, turns on and manages turnkey, biomass and waste to energy gasification plants with home technology.

1.2 Our value proposition

Waste Disposal
- The organic waste is eliminated in more than 80%, leaving only inert waste (ash).

Energy Generation
- Syngas is transformed in electric and thermal energy.

Profitability
- Maximum efficiency of the process. - Minimum investment per MW installed. - Profitable plants starting from 0.5 MW.

Experience
- Development team, formed by chemist and engineers, has been working on the process for the last eight years.

Services
- Full range of services to ensure the implementation and the profitable operation of the plant.

1.3 Products and services

2. About gasification

2.1 Gasification applications

GreenE gasification plants can be adapted to any kind of solid organic combustible:

Forest and agricultural biomass

Energy crop

Coal

2.2 Advantages of gasification over other technologies

We bet on gasification as the best way to valuate biomass and organic waste

Incineration

Biogas

Plasma Gasification

Pyrolysis

2.2 Advantages of gasification over other technologies

Advantages over Incineration

The gasification electric performance is 32% against the 22% of incineration (Rankine Cycle). 40% less of CO2 generated. The gasification hazardous emission values such as dioxins and furans are 1.000 times lesser than incinerations Gasification allows creating much smaller plants (from 0.5 MW)

2.2 Advantages of gasification over other technologies

Advantages over Biogas

Biogas residues are about 80% whereas gasification residues are about 20% They can be complementary technologies.

2.2 Advantages of gasification over other technologies

Advantages over Plasma Gasification

Plain gasification is cheaper in investment, operation and maintenance. Plasma gasification works at 6,000 C.

2.2 Advantages of gasification over other technologies

Advantages over Pyrolysis

Gasification is preferable when there is a high proportion of organic material in the solid organic combustible.

2.3 Advantages of gasification

Waste disposal Energy generation

Incoming waste is mostly eliminated

Resulting ashes are inert and minimum. Easy to recycle. Possibility to recover heavy metals.

Totally clean and usable generated Synthesis gas.

High energetic efficiency

Greenhouse gas emissions reduction

Up to 40 % of CO2 and 100% of CH4 reduction. Filters effectively: No toxic gas emissions SO2, SO3 and NOx (acid rain factors) Dioxins and furans (carcinogenic agents)

Dependence on fuel supply highly reduced.

Opens possibilities to electric supply in isolated areas

High profitability
