Description du projet
Générer de l’énergie renouvelable à partir des déchets
Produit à partir de déchets de récupération, le combustible solide de récupération (CSR) est une source d’énergie à haut rendement pour la génération de chaleur et d’électricité renouvelables. Cette alternative d’élimination des déchets peut contribuer à récupérer une proportion considérable de déchets municipaux et industriels. Actuellement, 30 % des déchets non minéraux et non dangereux sont mis en décharge, ce qui représente près de 70 millions de tonnes métriques par an de potentiel de production de CSR inexploité en Europe. Le projet REAL, financé par l’UE, développe une technologie de microgazéification pour surmonter les défis actuels inhérents à la valorisation du CSR. REAL mettra en œuvre un modèle commercial pour améliorer le développement et la gestion des petites unités de production locales qui sont compétitives sur le marché libéralisé de l’énergie sans aucune subvention additionnelle. Le projet garantira un approvisionnement énergétique abordable et fiable.
Objectif
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.
