Renew

Placing the North East at the forefront of the low carbon

economy by facilitating the delivery of commercial energy and environmental opportunities through………….

– Market & Sector Development

– Business and Project Support

– Network Development

Based within the Centre for Process Innovation at Wilton

with satellite offices at NaREC in Blyth

Market & Sector Development

– Working with a range of projects and developers we

have : -

• Created over 50 new jobs

• Safeguarded ca 100 jobs

• Created 8 new businesses

• Directly worked with and supported over 200

companies

• Leveraged over £40m of private sector investment

• Regional waste arisings

te/annum

– Municipal waste 1,512,000– Commercial & Industrial 2,440,000 – Hazardous waste 2,345,000– Construction & Demolition 400,000**

So what’s actually happening?

Key themes

– Waste – a valuable resource

– Power generation – from renewable

sources

– Carbon Capture and Storage – a USP

for the NE

– Micro-renewables – a real opportunity

– Large wind – supply chain potential

– Waste heat – what to do with it

Segregation / sorting

– Kerbside sorting

– Centralised sorting and segregation

– Combined thermal treatment and sorting

• e.g Graphite Resources

– A thermal treatment which results in

clean recyclates which are easily

sorted and a residual waste stream that

is easy to treat

– Business opportunities

• Plastics, glass, paper and card

Key themes

– Waste – a valuable resource

– Power generation – from renewable

sources

– Carbon Capture and Storage – a USP

for the NE

– Micro-renewables – a real opportunity

– Large wind – supply chain potential

– Waste heat – what to do with it

Technology options

– High temperature gasification / pyrolysis

• Produces a “syngas” stream (CO +

Hydrogen) which can be used to

generate electricity

– Gasification plus post treatment

• Usually produces a transport fuel

(ethanol or diesel)

– Anaerobic digestion

• Produces a bio methane which can be

used to generate electricity or can be

used as a direct transport fuel.

– Composting

Examples

– High temperature gasification

• Pyreco – tyre pyrolysis, Wilton

• North Tees project

– Gasification plus post treatment

• Ineos bio – Seal sands

• Plasrec – smaller scale

– Anaerobic digestion

• Various projects with farm based waste

streams or commercial food wastes

– Composting

• Various local initiatives

Approximately £500m capital project value
