Looking at two of the world’s most burning challenges – extreme rise in human made waste and the constant growth in demand for clean energy – we at Co-Energy make one a solution for the other.
The startling figure of 2.3 Billion tons of waste annually needs to be addressed. Complementing partial solutions like recycling and education for wise consumption habits, it's time take on a cost-effective approach and find an economically viable way to treat waste. The only sector with the ability to absorb such quantities without the blink of an eye is the energy sector, where the 2.3 billion tons of waste can be converted to 200,000MW of power. And that's what we at Co-Energy do - we convert waste to energy, mainly electricity, and also fuel.
Keeping in line with the advancements in the electricity sector, we recognize the growing reliance on hydrogen as a source for electricity, and so we developed the ability to convert waste to hydrogen. Co-Energy brings forward a profitable technological solution, taking the concept of circular economy to the next level, where the end product is of greater quality than the input material.
Additionally, we are converting organic waste to biochar. Biochar is a carbon-rich material, made out of organic material like wood, sewage sludge, cattle manure, dry produce etc. or a combination of those. It is the perfect solution for cattle and dairy farm owners, who wish to treat animal manure in a profitable and environmental friendly way.
Mastering process control & management technologies enabled Co-Energy to utilize a proven pyrolysis process to create a cutting-edge system that converts waste into ready-to-use energy products. The continuous and automatic process turns non-homogeneous waste into efficient, green energy whether it is electricity or liquid fuels. The system takes all types of raw waste, making the expensive and complicated waste sorting systems irrelevant.
