Title Efficient Way To Produce Biofuel From Municipal Solid Waste
Year 2017
Published
Abstract The interest in converting bio-based raw materials into commodities continuous gathers pace, although their economic conversion shows a number of challenges. Bio-based materials are more expensive than natural gas or low priced oil and they cannot compete on commodities production. Syngas produced by Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) throughout high temperature gasification may represent a valid, cost-competitive feedstock to produce chemicals such as methanol or urea at a commercial scale level. This process may be referred as Carbon Capture and Reuse (CCR) process or Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) and will be a much more interesting option than Waste-to-Energy (WTE) route not only to minimize emissions into the atmosphere and mitigate climate changes but also from an energy efficiency point of view. The proposed waste to methanol technology resulted both economically valuable and environmentally advantageous (in terms of saving resources and limit carbon footprint) in comparison to both the production of methanol with the conventional technology (starting from natural gas) and with respect to the use of RdF to produce electrical energy (waste-to-energy).
