SOLD OUT!

The Energy from Waste conference programme drills down into the details of decarbonization, resource management and future directions for waste to energy and we are therefore delighted to have a pre-event site visit.

Advanced Biofuel Solutions Ltd (ASBL) has built a plant that converts 10,000 tonnes of waste per annum into 21GWh of biomethane or hydrogen while capturing 6,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide. This is the first plant in the world to use gasification to produce an advanced biofuel from household waste while generating negative carbon emissions through bioenergy with carbon capture and storage.

The tour of the plant will allow visitors to see the gasification, syngas treatment, catalytic conversion and carbon capture technologies used at the facility. The Chief Executive of ABSL will provide a presentation on the technology and take questions from visitors.
