THE NEWLY DEVELOPED PROCEDURE IN A SIMPLIFIED PRESENTATION

We have developed a new process based solely on long-established, state-of-the-art components and systems. It is a prototype concept with a validated mass and energy balance, where only the component interconnection and the use of pyrolysis oil in the Two-Stroke marine diesel engine are novel. The two companies, developing these engines, began corresponding trials as early as 1994/95 and currently confirm its feasibility. Both developers said: necessary injection systems would be supplied to our licensees. Based on available documentation and discussions, we anticipate that the TRL (Total Readiness Level) of the developer trials will be 5.

2. Data on the efficiency of waste incineration in Germany

It is important that the waste incinerated in Germany has a residual moisture content of about 25%. Globally, higher moisture content values reduce efficiency.

3. Use of the HERHOF process and our own process

During development of the waste treatment upstream of the B-VM, it became apparent that, with regard to all parameters to be complied with for the treated waste, there were mainly usable standard units but also partial systems on the market. In the most aspects, this is not ultimately about pyrolysis processes with further development, but only about improving thermal utilization - in particular by means of incineration and gasification. Otherwise the production process for the HERHOF TROCKENSTABILAT® has been investigated to the greatest extent and depth. However, it has been ultimately not able to establish for incineration or gasification. Nevertheless, all these studies provide largely and precisely almost all the data required for the processing of waste and for pyrolysis with the B-VM.

The fact is that our existing, completely new treatment process developed by us for the B-VM, with its key areas works in a more targeted and economical way than HERHOF. But using HERHOF it is not necessary to disclose our newly designed process sequences and, in some cases, systems and aggregates, thereby jeopardizing patent protection.

Based on a typical waste composition for Central Europe with essential material data, the upstream waste treatment suitable for a 14 MW engine was designed using units and systems offered and adapted on the market. A completely new in-house development was then also carried out for special areas and circumstances, as nothing similar was available on the market. On this basis, it is possible realizing required local systems worldwide with its appropriate adaptations. For a designed upstream waste treatment, agreements were made with well-known manufacturers and different offers were obtained, with which CAPEX and OPEX were calculated.

For the first pilot plant with a specified location, it is planned that the upstream waste treatment system will be built as a turnkey complex together with one or two system providers – both worldwide very experienced companies.


4. Possible data on the worldwide use of the B-VM process

Some world B-VM data derived by a project with a 14 MW Motor in the Czech Republic. The data can used globally for example to regions like Europe, America, China or single countries or similar, based on the existing waste capacity and its utilization; but all values are only placeholder for the actual values in each location.

1: Net electrical output of a plant with 14 MW engine is 10 MW into grid; during 8,000 h/a;

(with 80 MW motor possible about 57 MW)

2: Currently around 15,000 such 14 MW systems in 2050;

(based in pos. 5:)

3: Feasible to extract about -0.75 billion t/a of CO2 in 2050;

(≈ 15 % from value postulated by IPCC and NAS)

4: With capex of around € 120 million/14 MW plant incl. BCC;

(Bioenergy with Carbon Catching)

5: Average in 2050 is 1 billion t/a used waste + 1 billion t/a biomass;

(World waste: 2 Billion t in 2016 and expected 3.8 Billion t in 2050)


With a CO2 price of € 100/t, this would be around75 Giga €/a.

The 15,000 plants of 10 MW output, results in 150,000 MW capacity (it corresponds to around 150 large power plants - but decentralized in 15.000 locations). With 8,000 h/a, 1.2 Giga MWh of electricity can produce annually and with 100 €/MWh this results in 120 Giga €/a.

With an average of 100, - €/t waste, total of 100 Giga €/a is generated.

Further revenues are generated: from the processing of delivered waste (like extracted recyclable materials) and for the thermal energy supplied.

A total world capex of 15,000 plants x € 120 million will be required (results in € 1,800,000 million; = € 1,800,000,000,000; = 1,8 Tera €). This is a safe investment that also pays off. In contrast to investments in fossil fuels, which are running at roughly same level worldwide and are expected to continue from 2020 for almost 10 years up to 2030. But these could prove to be a gigantic speculation error due to the increasing competition from renewable energies (more details: T. Crysmann, "Es droht ein unkontrollierter Finanzkollaps" in: "Riskante Rohstoff-Geschäfte", t-online 14.01.2023).



We are currently preparing the realization of a first pilot plant and a worldwide implementation of the technology.
