  1. Waste To Energy (WtE) A Renewable Energy Source June 26, 2013 Joe Yavorski jyavorski@creative-energy-sys.com

  2. Overview • What is Waste to Energy • Environmental and Recycling Concerns

  3. What is Waste to Energy • Federal law recognizes Waste to Energy as renewable. • 22+ states and growing have WtE in their RPS • CES was in a stand alone bill that was rejected by the Senate two years in a row • WtE was placed into this bill • Placed into SB13-252 to update CO RPS

  4. What is Waste to Energy • 3 main types of Waste to Energy exists • Plasma • Extremely high temperature 7,000 to 25,000 degrees Fahrenheit • Vaporizes everything and can handle hazardous waste • Best on large MW production based on plant costs

  5. What is Waste to Energy • 3 main types of Waste to Energy exists (cont) • Incineration • Uses oxygen and open flame to burn trash • Most common in USA • Must scrub dioxins and other items caused by the oxygen component in the process

  6. What is Waste to Energy • 3 main types of Waste to Energy exists (cont) • Pyrolysis • Indirect heating of waste stream • Oxygen starved to prevent dioxins from forming • Operates at 700 to 1400 degrees Fahrenheit • CES approach on WtE

  7. Typical Waste to Energy Incineration • Incineration is NOT similar to Pyrolysis • Production of syngas or heat is different • Incineration uses oxygen and contacts MSW Creative Energy Systems Proprietary Data

  8. Environmental and Recycling Concerns • Waste to Energy plants provide the best recycling program available • Is a revenue source for the plant • Most cost effective approach to acquiring the recyclables • Less fossil fuel being burned collecting the recyclables • Less green house gas created by trucks • Captures all the waste thrown into trash now • Sorts out metals etc. from products that would otherwise be thrown out. Ex. Metal in box spring is captured

  9. Environmental and Recycling Concerns • Waste to Energy plants provide the best recycling program available (cont) • Captures hazardous material that would be buried in landfill • Prevents Methane gas from being created and released to atmosphere • EPA site shows 89,000 carbon credits being generated on a 10 MWe pyrolysis based plant • Department of Energy with EPA evaluated pyrolysis plant and it met all Federal permit requirements

  10. Summary • Effective method to deal with USA waste stream problems • Creates jobs in local rural communities • About 60 jobs per 10 MW facility • Waste to Energy is BASE power vice peak power of wind and solar • Power companies can relay on solid production regardless of environmental conditions • Market competitive price point with NO government subsidies Creative Energy Systems Proprietary Data
