Descripción del proyecto
Energía renovable a partir de residuos
El combustible sólido recuperado (CSR) se consigue a partir de desperdicios, y es una fuente de energía de gran rendimiento para generar calor y electricidad de un modo renovable. Esta alternativa a la eliminación de desechos puede ayudar a recuperar una proporción importante de los residuos municipales e industriales. Actualmente, el 30 % de los residuos no peligrosos y de origen no mineral acaba en vertederos; esto supone un potencial de casi 70 millones de toneladas métricas por año en CSR que se podría producir. El proyecto REAL, financiado con fondos europeos, está desarrollando una tecnología de microgasificación para superar los problemas actuales relacionados con la valorización de los CSR. REAL pondrá en marcha un modelo de negocio para aumentar el desarrollo y la gestión de unidades pequeñas de producción local que sean competitivas en un mercado energético liberalizado, sin necesidad de subvenciones. El proyecto garantizará el suministro y la fiabilidad de una energía asequible.
Objetivo
Over the past 20 years, Europe has increasingly shifted its focus on the municipal and industrial waste from disposal to prevention and recycling. 30% of non-mineral, non-hazardous waste goes to landfill, which represents a Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF) production in Europe of 70 million tons/year. The SRF is a fuel produced by shredding and dehydrating solid waste, typically consisting of combustible components. While promising as thermally recoverable waste, the SRF potential is today underexploited due to technical, economic and regulatory issues. Our company LCEET has thus designed an innovative micro-gasification technology – called REAL – to overcome current challenges of SRF valorisation, reducing the flue gas volume (-40%), the installation size and related capital investment (by up to 45%). Face to other technologies, REAL allows for an energy recovery over 80%. This project also addresses the challenges of the EU energy markets which face a continuous increase of electricity consumption that overloads the power stations and threatens the supply security and power quality. Decentralised energy production is a solution that can complement current central generation supply infrastructures. Despite the advantages, current developers are hindered by: non-shared governance, limited technical solutions, complexity of finances, management of investments, profitability, efficiency and sustainability. REAL aims to implement a business model to boost territorial energy autonomy, by supporting municipalities, industries, citizens in the decision, development and management of small local production units, competitive in the liberalised energy market without any additional subsidy. This project guarantees energy supply & quality at competitive price and a reduction of associated cost to waste management. For LCEET, REAL exploitation will allow us to obtain a lead position in energy production projects for local economies, obtaining a revenue growth over €31.4M by 2026.
