Renewable Energy

Renewable energy covers a diverse range of technologies and deployment concepts. These are zero or low emission generation technologies and as such “fuel” resources are virtually inexhaustible for example, solar, wind, water, geothermal and biomass resources.
These “fuels” are also relatively free of price and supply volatility which is an important renewable energy advantage.

It is important to consider technology blends for baseload renewable power generation.

Clear Thinking

Power generation is evolving globally, driven by emission issues, policy, political changes and transforming markets.
An increased interest in generation alternatives has developed, including renewable baseload energy. This brings new challenges around issues of technology, risk, price and integration.
These challenges often apply to businesses with considerable electricity cost exposure; utilities struggling with changing portfolios or looking to reduce carbon emissions; or a business simply looking to source cleaner cost effective energy with managed annual escalation.

costs

Our Patented Biomass technology is a commercial proposition based on cost of implementation and production tariffs . We provide plants from 100 Kw to a number of Megawatts based on feedstock sustainability. We are competitively priced in relation to published National Grid Flex Tariffs.

benefits

Our technology is Base-load and therefore available 24/7.
Business and Industry will benefit  from the use of sustainable, clean renewable energy  for future growth whilst receiving Carbon Credits. Technology is environmentally friendly.
Our Patented fluidised-bed Technology has been adapted to utilise low CV coal fines for larger generation capacities. 
The local and ultimately national Grid will have improved line levels as more projects are implemented.
Minimal water usage as water is circulated and only used for cooling and not for steam generation.
Additional gas can be generated for auxiliary requirements such as boilers, refrigeration, cooking etc.
Projects are commissioned and generating Electricity within 40 to 45 weeks from financial closure.
Generate income for Investors, Companies, Mines and municipalities through localised power generation.

Technology benefits and Applications

Source of Fuel – Wide range of biomass =(Agricultural, Forestry including Invasive species).
Power plant technology is scalable and modular.
Plant capacity range from 60 kW to 6 MW. Larger units can be implemented with coal fines.
Operational hours per year = 7,500 hours (minimum).
Service and maintenance is scheduled for optimum operation.
Rural to industrial energy solutions and micro-grid development.

Our technology can be implemented as the baseload generation component with Solar synchronization for daytime peak generation.

About Us

Energy 1 W2E has been involved in the Biomass gasification industry for a number of years. Many technologies were  evaluated  to finally put together a functional reliable and most importantly cost effective technology blend that really works. The technology does not require feedstock to be pelletized, but utilises the feedstock simply reduced to size whereafter it is fed into the up-draught gasification process.  Environmental solutions now integrated with the technology has resulted in minimal sulphur emission from the flare off and simple management of any Tar produced.

A little about ourselves

The people behind the technology and the company have been involved in the energy and forestry industries for many years. A common passion for the environment resulted in a combining of strengths to form Energy 1 W2E which is a company focused on proven “Producer” or “Synthetic” gas technology for renewable energy production whilst reducing waste.

Renewable Energy Feedstock’s should be commercially grown or a by-product of a timber sawmill, tobacco plantation, Industrial Hemp, Rice, most forms of bagasse, Maize cobs and other viable organic residue.

Alternative sources of feedstock that support viable energy production through our patented gasification are coal fines (Either at the mine or waste at a Thermal Power Station), Coal bed Methane and LNG. Waste coal fines with acceptable calorific value are an environmental issue due to the volumes being stockpiled and leachate.  Our technology easily utilises the coal fines and small particles > 5mm to less than 2mm and provides an efficient means of power generation whilst reducing the volumes of waste and generating a financial return.” Coal by Wire”

We convert viable feedstock directly into a usable Gas to drive gas engines or turbines. Excess gas production can be utilised for heating, drying or steam production. We also do waste heat recovery on our technology with larger installations for energy optimisation.

Water is used for cooling and scrubbing, with the water being re circulated, thus using minimal water is used.

We provide services related to feasibility studies, detailed financial modelling, development and design for each project if on grid or self-embedded. A turnkey solution to meet our clients requirements.

Our subsidiary company holds a valid NERSA license for renewable Biomass Gasification Energy generation which will be wheeled over the Eskom grid in South Africa.
