  3. Introduction Altran 3

  4. Altran Mission Unfueled solar flight around the world We bring customers’ ideas to life and power their performance through technology and innovation consultancy Formula 1: first class innovations 4

  5. AltranSustainableSolutions Our five key areas of expertise • ECO – Technologies • ECO – Mobility • ECO – Energy • ECO – Buildings • ECO – FuelSolving four problems at once, the Ecofuel offer provides insight into the possibilities of small scale decentralized conversion of waste into fuel, heat, and electricity, thereby turning a cost into an asset.

  6. FUEL production in the ‘old way’: Fuel production the ‘new way’ does not use ancient biomass but your sorted and unsorted waste and /or ‘fresh’ biomass. 6

  7. 1st generation:uses food crops - rapeseed, corn etc.- Low energy efficiency, even down to zero (i.e. by fertilizer use)- Large footprint, extensive use of land- Competes with food chain – side effect of rising food prices- Only in tight integration with other cropsApprox. 80 eurocents/liter 2nd generation:bio-waste derived / gasification / flare gas (Fischer-Tropsch GTL)and enzymatic conversions of biowastes- GTL: Energy efficiency losses using multiple process steps- GTL: Large scale required for economies of scale- GTL: Complex, not yet developed for the market- Enzymatic: Good potentialApprox. 50 eurocents/liter 3rd generation:‘Waste-to-Fuel’ / ECOFUEL -Highly energy efficient, also on biomass-plastic mixtures -Simple one step process, market ready -High quality middle distillate fuel – ready for local use -Solves both waste and energy issue at site -Decentralization of waste and energy saves on transportation and reduces CO2 emissions -Already economical on a small scale (> 4 ktons/yr) Approx. 20 eurocents/liter ECOFUEL is a 3rd Generation sustainable fuelin reach for industry and communities today

  8. How good is it?- Benchmark of typical bio-fuel efficiencies: Source: Daimler Chrysler

  9. What types of waste are applicable?(typical waste potential not limited to list below) • - Non-recyclable waste with reasonable calorific value (>14 GJ/ton, the higher the better) • Polymers-plastics -foams -oxygenated (PET) -chlorinated (PVC) • Biomass • -paper and cardboard • -wood (chips, powder, slightly contaminated) • -agricultural biomass wastes • -reasonably dry manure • Other/mixtures • -municipal solid waste (MSW) • -waste oils, natural, fossil and synthetic • -oil sands, tar sands, some oil sludge / drilling fluids • -rubber tyres • -some organic waste chemicals, solutes • Larger inert materials like bricks and large metal objects are to be removed; some small are OK (i.e. glass pieces)

  10. Developments in Waste Processing

  11. Focus and Contents Waste to Fuel Case Studies Centralized model Decentralized model • Waste – to – Fuel process for regional use (4-10,000 tons annually) • Municipal Waste with high calorical value, which neither is re-used nor recycled • Waste collection principle is the de-centralized model (picture on the right) • Focus is on the comparison of WtF processes to other alternatives such as BtL • Sustainability review is on the social, environmental and economic analysis

  12. ECOFUEL 3rd generation sustainable fuel- A highly economic one step waste-to-liquids process Biomass containing waste Secondary solid fuel Waste derived fuel

  13. ECOFUEL: The process scheme - a single step process into fuel for local use (i.e. diesel generators) High Calorific Waste Syngas i.e for process (10%) Bricks and metals HQ Diesel fuel (70-80%) Shredder Tar/ash/metal residue ( 0-10%) Closed reactor, approx. 400 oC

  14. Polymer conversion • 1- Poly-olefins, i.e. PE : • Thermal cracking of straight CH-chains • 2- Oxygenated i.e. PET: • Thermal cracking of CHO containing chains • 3- Halogenated, i.e. PVC: • Thermal cracking of CHX containing chains

  15. Biopolymer conversion (biomass) • 1- Polysaccharides : • Mainly contains C5 and C6 sugars, • i.e. (C5 H10 O5 )n , (C6 H12 O6 )n , ...... (ligno-)cellulose etc. • 2- Polypeptides: • Contains CHNO(S,P) • 2- Mean biomass: • Contains C5H7O2N

  16. Typical product fuels • 1- Middle distillates (diesel) production : • C9 – C27 : olefin: CH3 – (CH2 )n – CH3 • 2- Aviation fuel production: • C9 – C19 : isomers CH3 – (CH2 )n – CH3

  17. There is ‘existing’ technology that enables a more efficient conversion of sorted and unsorted waste at a very attractive business case..... 17

  18. First order Business Case 1: Generic Mixed Waste (MSW) * Depending on oil price, waste composition etc.

  19. First order Business Case 2: Non-recyclable plastic waste (NPW) * Depending on oil price, waste composition etc.

  20. Multi-variable influence on business case> ROI & Calorific value of waste input Case description: Production of diesel grade fuel, synthesis gas use for space heating and electricity production, no gate-fee, 5 year lifetime, 90% uptime,

  21. Multi-variable influence on business case> Project lifetime & fuel sales price € 2,00 € 0,20 2 10 6 Expected technical lifecycle is expected to be 20 years, with a revamp at 10 years.

  22. Conclusion: ECO-Fuel Solving four problems with one solution… • Added value by Altran: • Know-how concerning: • Legislation • Thermodynamics • Subsidies • Ecological impact • Technical integration • Economics for all parties concerned • Experience with sustainable systems • Network of players Electrical energy CO2 Heat Clean Fuel

  23. Project references ECO-FuelA Selection of some of our references: bio-CHP Clusters • Rijsenhout 120 ha greenhouse development SGN (BNG, NL Govt. Bank)Bio-CHP power generation • Obtain 100% waste recycling North Holland small industryBio-CHP power generation • Energy security for greenhouses Knook+Dutch utility • Rotterdam Municipality waste collection Roteb- transportation fuel for own waste trucks • Airplane catering waste conversion KLM Catering ServicesBio-CHP for KLM-KCS at Amsterdam Int. Airport

  24. Project Reference: KLM Catering Services ECOFUEL: energy recovery from company waste • Context • The current project, with KLM Catering Services Schiphol B.V., has covered the full scope (from feasibility until implementation) for the realization of a plant converting the waste collected from national, international and intercontinental flights into fuel (syngas and liquid diesel) and its subsequent use in a small-scale power plant. • To achieve this, an assessment was done into novel waste to energy conversion systems for this specific company waste composition. The process involves converting catering waste / biomass into heat and electricity using a special petrochemical technology. What’s more, the waste no longer has to be transported elsewhere, further reducing CO2 emissions and saving on transportation costs. • Results & Benefits • The project is ongoing. • KLM has initiated the process of separating waste on board. • Steps are being taken to realise the first small plant. • Waste-to-Energy will • Create green energy from (highest risk Category 1) catering waste • Reduce CO2 emission from waste transports • Reduce waste treatment costs for KLM Catering Services

  25. ECO-FUEL: To sum up • More efficient use of bio-waste now possible • Ample biomass wastes i.e. food plantations, municipal dumps etc. etc. • ‘It is a waste to waste waste’ • Decentralisedoperation • Energy autonomy for cities, fun parks • ‘Your community fuelled by its own waste...?’ • Simultaneously solve big issues and create high value energy • ‘Reduce CO2 and NOxemmissions’ Waste comprises a ‘pile of opportunity’
