Exercises
1. What biomaterials feed into MHS + used for what?• Outputs should be gas/liquid for engines, solids for boiler• Try to divide into either common to all countries, or country-
specific
2. What activities are undertaken by MHS?• Is location important?• What equipment is needed?• Area of operation - radius?• Ensure cost-effective…simple, quick, low cost
3. What should relationship be between MHS and ESCO?

The teams• Portugal –Sandra• Italy – Elena• Poland – Edward• Finland – Kim• UK – Robin• UK - Jerry
• Holland – Andrea• Spain – Juan• Spain - Puy• UK – Mark• UK – Pat• Switzerland – Arturo• UK – Richard
Team rules• Europe is diverse and inputs should reflect this• Everybody’s input is valuable• There are no wrong ideas• Everybody must contribute• Decide who feeds back info• Write it down or lose it

Organise
Delivery = collection
Storage
Processing
Delivery to CHP units(finished products)
LocationPlanning permission

TransportRail/road/water?
Wasterecycle
ProcessingBiogas -AD -needs
consistent process/supply
Major output=gas/oilPellets=secondary
Quality Control
Databases
Need to ensure collection of materials & delivery to
ESCoOutsource certain tasks
Mobile pressing to reduce costs
What to do with waste?
Just-in-time delivery/processing

Plan for the worst
LocationRadius balance - demand vs
supplyMust be popular
No smells – filtersFarmer co-operation important
Perception importantNot a waste-handling centre
A fuel preparation centre
SizeMatch station facilities with available local feed supply
Match size/nature of storage containers with
local feed supply Non-storage for perishables
