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.
