Global
Nrg Ltd is a world leader in waste-to-energy technology, with
offices and representation in a number of countries. Our
state-of-the-art processes harness the calorific values of
various wastes to manufacture green renewable energy in the form of fuel
pellets, green electricity and heat, synthetic gas (Syngas),
biodiesel and ethanol.
Global NRG is developing
renewable energy resources
through carbon sink forests planted with
Jatropha an non food crop
that yields a high level of oil suitable for making biodiesel
and organic fertilizers, and a special species of
NRG algae that yields high volumes
of vegetable oil suitable again for conversion into biodiesel
and high protein cattle feed.
Global NRG operates a
biodiesel division manufacturing biodiesel and
building biodiesel
plants.
NRG Wind is a
division of the Global NRG group. Manufacturing small to
medium sized wind turbines in areas of high average annual
wind speed, Global NRG uses matrixes of turbines
aggregated to provide a mini power station of 4 MW upwards.
These wind turbine matrixes are backed by biowaste
gasification plants which provide syngas to fuel gas internal
combustion engines coupled to alternators, so as to provide
backup up power when the wind velocity is of insufficient
strength. When the backup generation is not required the
syngas is sold into the commercial market, resulting in the
backup generation plant being a independent profit centre.
Global NRG's products
include Formula 2010 a unique
fuel conditioner that decontaminates water and fungi
from fuel and fuel tanks, and prevents its re-establishment.
Formula 2010 is the only fuel conditioner that reduces CO2,
NOx and particle emissions in exhaust emissions by better than
20%.
One of the Global NRG
primary processes
pelletizes various wastes such as MSW (Municipal Solid
Waste), Green waste, sewerage sludge and biowaste into NRG pellets which are
then a green renewable energy
source.
The Global NRG process for MSW reduces the need for
landfill by up to 96% and old landfills can be re-mined if
needs be to access their energy content. Using the NRG pellet
process is an important step in reducing Climate Change, as
landfills are one of the major contributors of GHGs (Greenhouse Gasses). A tonne
of waste deposited in landfill will continue to create GHG for
24 years or more. Harnessing Global NRG's processes can earn
Carbon Credits for the parties
involved. The
NRG pellets are then used to
provide alternate energy in a number of applications including heating steam
to drive an electricity generating turbine, distilling grey
and non-potable water, heating buildings and providing
energy for industry, for driving desalination plants at a
lower cost per Mega litre, for use in cement, brickworks and mining
kilns and for gasification
into a synthetic gas ( Syngas) which can be used to drive
internal combustion engines coupled to electric generators, in
boilers, gas turbines, for household and industrial use, to
produce methanol and biodesiel, and as a chemical feedstock to
produce a range of valuable products. Syngas
has similar properties to natural gas and is a low carbon emitter.
In simple language, municipal waste, biowaste and green
waste, reoccurring feedstocks, can be used as green
renewable energy resources, thereby reducing millions of tons of CO2 emissions
from the atmosphere generated from using fossil fuels. The energy derived from
generating green electricity, which if fed into a power grid,
can support base load, or if used in stand-alone situations
to supply energy for a multiple of purposes, derives
carbon credits under ETS
(Emission Trading Schemes) and simultaneously provides an
environmentally friendly solution to the ever increasing
amounts of household
waste and the need for landfill.
Other steps being taken towards find additional
renewable energy resources involve experiments now being
conducted which grow specialized algae
that have a high level of CO2 absorption.
Oil is then extracted from the algae via bio-generators
which is then converted into biofuel. The residual
matter is used to provide a cattle feed.
Small wind turbines have been designed that condense water from air,
still under
development these aqua-air units will allow potable water to
be harnesses in areas that might not otherwise have access
to drinking water.

The Global NRG
Pelletizing Process
for waste is designed to consume a wide variety of feed materials including: |
|
Municipal Solid Waste
(MSW) |
Green
and Biowaste |
Sewerage
sludge |
Automobile and Truck Tires |
Agricultural wastes |
Industrial Waste |
Forestry and wood processing wastes |
Traditional Fossil Fuels, oil, gas, peat, and coal mine wastes |
 |
The Steps in the Process of Turning
Municipal Solid Waste into Electricity:
|
|
The Global NRG Pellet Process's operation is most easily explained when operating on Municipal Solid Waste (MSW). Operated on MSW the process takes place in four distinct stages. |
 |
| In Stage One |
| of the process MSW is collected by the municipality and brought to a
centralized Processing plant for the manufacture of fuel
pellets. |
|
 |
| In Stage Two |
| of the process the MSW is sorted and shredded where valuable
non ferrous and ferrous metals are removed from the waste stream, using rotating trommels. Glass,
plastics, aggregates, concrete products and sand are then
removed either by automation or hand picking. |
|
 |
| In Stage Three |
| of the process, all remaining material is forced through a pelletizer
which compacts the material into 20g fuel pellets termed
NRG Pellets™. These NRG Pellets™ can be stored
indefinitely and are then available to be used as a
renewable fuel to generate steam for electricity
generation, to heat
buildings, or as alternate fuel for cement and brick kilns
and mining processes, or can gasified into a Synthetic gas (
SYNGAS). |
|
 |
| In Stage Four |
| Steam is created using the NRG Pellets as a fuel to
drive steam turbine/generators, or if gasification is
the next step, the calorific value of the NRG Pellets™
is released for example via the NRG gasification plant, where the feed material is first gasified and then oxidized under controlled conditions to create a
synthetic gas without GHG. Syngas is either used to
again create steam which then drives steam turbine/generators, or
is used
to power gas fueled internal combustion engines coupled
to generators that generate green electricity. Excess steam and moisture from the processes can if required, be condensed producing potable
water or channeled through heat exchangers for drying
or heat recycling. Syngas can be processed into
ethanol or biodiesel, or
valuable products or stored for later use |
|

Important Fact |
|
Electricity produced using the
Global NRG process is a constant power supply unlike hydro, solar or wind
power, and is therefore able to support base load to the power
grid, or the electricity generation can be used
to support peak period supply needs, with no carbon emissions,
thus providing the additional potential benefit of earning
carbon credits
from the ETS whilst doing so. Plants are already operating in
USA, Europe, Canada, China and Russia.
