As businesses increasingly prioritise environmental responsibility, Control Energy Costs is proud to offer a new service that aligns with businesses’ Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals: power from waste. This innovative service helps businesses transform waste into valuable energy, fostering grid independence, reducing costs, and enhancing sustainability.
The benefits of power from waste
Turning waste into energy is not only an eco-friendly practice but also a cost-effective one. By converting waste streams such as plastic, food, animal, and agricultural waste into energy, your business can:
- Achieve energy independence: Reduce reliance on traditional energy sources by generating your own power from waste.
- Increase sustainability credentials: Strengthen your business’s sustainability profile by adopting cutting-edge waste-to-energy technologies.
- Significantly reduce waste costs: Lower your waste disposal expenses by turning waste into valuable energy resources.
- Reduce environmental impact: Minimise your carbon footprint by reducing the volume of waste sent to landfills and decreasing greenhouse gas emissions.
What kind of energy can be produced from waste?
Through advanced technologies, Control Energy Costs can help your business generate various forms of energy from waste, including:
- Biogas: A renewable energy source produced through the breakdown of organic materials in an anaerobic environment, which can be used for electricity, heating, or as a vehicle fuel.
- Electricity: Generated from the combustion or biochemical processing of waste materials, contributing to your business’s energy needs.
- Hydrogen: An emerging clean energy source, produced by reforming biogas or through waste-to-hydrogen technologies.
- Heat/cool: Waste-to-energy systems can produce heat or cooling for industrial processes or space heating.
Technologies we offer
Control Energy Costs leverages a range of cutting-edge waste disposal technologies to help businesses convert waste into energy:
- Aerobic digestion to grey water or substrate: This process decomposes organic waste in the presence of oxygen, resulting in grey water that can be safely discharged or an organic substrate for use in soil amendment.
- Anaerobic digestion to biogas or liquid slurry: This technology breaks down organic materials in the absence of oxygen, producing biogas and nutrient-rich digestate or slurry, which can be used as fertiliser.
- Slurry tanks and lagoon covers: For businesses handling slurry, appropriate storage solutions are essential. With the upcoming 2027 legislation requiring slurry lagoons to be covered, Control Energy Costs provides effective solutions that trap methane and support biogas production.
