  1. John Barton Project Director

  2. So what’s actually happening? Key themes Waste – a valuable resource Power generation – from renewable sources Carbon Capture and Storage – a USP for the NE Micro-renewables – a real opportunity Large wind – supply chain potential Waste heat – what to do with it

  3. So what’s actually happening? Key themes Waste – a valuable resource Power generation – from renewable sources Carbon Capture and Storage – a USP for the NE Micro-renewables – a real opportunity Large wind – supply chain potential Waste heat – what to do with it Changing Landscape • Increasing landfill tax • Finite landfill “void” • Increasing regulation • Finite resources • Societal pressures …but • Unclear Vision

  4. So what’s actually happening? Key themes Waste – a valuable resource Power generation – from renewable sources Carbon Capture and Storage – a USP for the NE Micro-renewables – a real opportunity Large wind – supply chain potential Waste heat – what to do with it • Regional waste arisings te/annum • Municipal waste 1,512,000 • Commercial & Industrial 2,440,000 • Hazardous waste 2,345,000 • Construction & Demolition 400,000**

  5. So what’s actually happening? Key themes Waste – a valuable resource Power generation – from renewable sources Carbon Capture and Storage – a USP for the NE Micro-renewables – a real opportunity Large wind – supply chain potential Waste heat – what to do with it Segregation / sorting • Kerbside sorting • Centralised sorting and segregation • Combined thermal treatment and sorting • e.g Graphite Resources • A thermal treatment which results in clean recyclates which are easily sorted and a residual waste stream that is easy to treat • Business opportunities • Plastics, glass, paper and card

  6. So what’s actually happening? Key themes Waste – a valuable resource Power generation – from renewable sources Carbon Capture and Storage – a USP for the NE Micro-renewables – a real opportunity Large wind – supply chain potential Waste heat – what to do with it Technology options • High temperature gasification / pyrolysis • Produces a “syngas” stream (CO + Hydrogen) which can be used to generate electricity • Gasification plus post treatment • Usually produces a transport fuel (ethanol or diesel) • Anaerobic digestion • Produces a bio methane which can be used to generate electricity or can be used as a direct transport fuel. • Composting

  7. So what’s actually happening? Key themes Waste – a valuable resource Power generation – from renewable sources Carbon Capture and Storage – a USP for the NE Micro-renewables – a real opportunity Large wind – supply chain potential Waste heat – what to do with it Approximately £500m capital project value Examples • High temperature gasification • Pyreco – tyre pyrolysis, Wilton • North Tees project • Gasification plus post treatment • Ineos bio – Seal sands • Plasrec – smaller scale • Anaerobic digestion • Various projects with farm based waste streams or commercial food wastes • Composting • Various local initiatives

  8. So what’s actually happening? Key themes Waste – a valuable resource Power generation – from renewable sources Carbon Capture and Storage – a USP for the NE Micro-renewables – a real opportunity Large wind – supply chain potential Waste heat – what to do with it Approximately £750m capital project value Examples • Imported biomass (crop based) • MGT – 300 MWe • Bio Energy Investments – 50MWe • Indigenous biomass (crop based) • Sembcorp – 30MWe • Indigenous biomass (waste wood) • Gaia Power – 50MWe • Dalkia Bio – 17MWe • Smaller scale • Various

  9. So what’s actually happening? Key themes Waste – a valuable resource Power generation – from renewable sources Carbon Capture and Storage – a USP for the NE Micro-renewables – a real opportunity Large wind – supply chain potential Waste heat – what to do with it Approximately £1,500m capital project value Proposition • IGCC power station 800 MWe • Carbon dioxide network around Tees Valley • Pre combustion capture conversion at Lynmouth • Pipeline to Saline Aquifer in North sea Benefits • Safeguard existing carbon emitting industries • Attract new carbon emitting industries • Large volumes of carbon available for other capture technologies • Enhanced Oil recovery potential

  10. So what’s actually happening? Key themes Waste – a valuable resource Power generation – from renewable sources Carbon Capture and Storage – a USP for the NE Micro-renewables – a real opportunity Large wind – supply chain potential Waste heat – what to do with it Technology Options • Photovoltaics • Solar thermal • Heat pumps • Biomass • Wind • Hydro Government Support • Feed in Tariffs • Renewable Heat Initiative Supply Chain opportunities • Manufacture • Consultancy • Installation

  11. So what’s actually happening? Key themes Waste – a valuable resource Power generation – from renewable sources Carbon Capture and Storage – a USP for the NE Micro-renewables – a real opportunity Large wind – supply chain potential Waste heat – what to do with it Examples • Clipper • TAG • JDR Cables • Hereema

  12. So what’s actually happening? Key themes Waste – a valuable resource Power generation – from renewable sources Carbon Capture and Storage – a USP for the NE Micro-renewables – a real opportunity Large wind – supply chain potential Waste heat – what to do with it Examples • Organic Rankine Cycle - recovery of waste heat into useful energy • Use of waste heat for district heating – Tees Valley wide study into opportunities

  13. So what does the future hold ?

  14. An Case Study of an Innovation Challenge Fossil Carbon Light Oxygen Heat Production Carbon Dioxide Fossil Fuel Gas Production Unit Rapid Plant Growth Hydrogen Bio Processing Oils Plant Matter Food Carbon Dioxide And Nutrients Power Generation Pharmaceuticals Extraction Water Neutraceuticals Vehicles Alkane, Alkene or Alkyne Methane Hydrogen Depleted Plant Matter Anaerobic Digestion Unit Sewage Food Waste Brewing ands Distillery Waste Fertilizer Bio Diesel and Bio Ethanol Waste Land Source: Entering the Ecological Age: The Engineer’s Role CPI and Arup

  15. Vision for the future Integrated approach Develop truly sustainable processes Improve process efficiencies Reduce waste and then drive value from it Carbon Reduction or Resource Management ?
