SynTech Bioenergy LLC announced today the completion of an agreement to build a revolutionary clean-energy plant in the United Kingdom capable of carbon negative operation. This project represents a first of a kind commercial, advanced thermochemical conversion-based energy from waste facility. SynTech is partnered in the project with Britain鈥檚 Energy Technologies Institute (ETI), a public/private partnership between energy and engineering firms Rolls-Royce, BP, Shell, Caterpillar, EDF and the UK Government. The ETI is providing a 拢5 million ($6.35 million) matching Investment.
To be known as SynTech Energy Centre, Ltd., the 1.5MWe facility will feature SynTech鈥檚 proprietary FluiMax庐 technology. The system will convert sorted and
processed municipal solid waste (“MSW,” garbage) into continuous and uninterrupted clean, renewable, electrical power and heat. The project will consume about 40 tons per day of processed MSW and produce enough electrical power to supply 2,500 homes year-round and enough heat to supply over 1,000 of those homes and a local senior center.
FluiMax庐 is an extraordinarily clean technology that vents nothing to the atmosphere other than clean exhaust from the engine generator set. These emissions will meet the most stringent EU and US air quality standards. SynTech systems are far more efficient and environmentally friendly than traditional waste to energy processes such as incinerators, most pyrolysis systems and digesterbased waste-to-energy systems, while producing none of the harmful pollution or other by-products (i.e. sludge, environmentally harmful ash, contaminated waste water, etc.). From MSW processing to power generation, the FluiMax庐 system is designed to deliver significant carbon benefits through the use of waste to produce power, especially when compared to typical US landfills. Significant carbon capital opportunities are now therefore open to owner-operators and investors.
SynTech Bioenergy is a privately held, US-based, advanced thermochemical technology company specializing in the production of clean energy from biomass, agricultural, municipal and other problematic wastes. Several SynTech affiliates will join in the project, including the newly-formed SynTech Energy Centre UK Ltd. SynTech has affiliated US corporate and administrative, manufacturing and engineering operations near Chicago, IL and in Ames, IA; and UK operations in Cambridge and near Birmingham, England.
Wayne McFarland, SynTech鈥檚 CEO, said, 鈥淭his project represents a new paradigm in and for the future of distributed, continuous and uninterrupted clean energy. SynTech projects provide solutions to numerous pressing energy, environmental, economic and social issues on a global basis. Our mission is to deliver positive global impact by providing clean-power, heat and fertilizers and advanced, clean, drop-in liquid fuels from the many costly and problematic waste streams that plague our planet.鈥�
