GreenMine Scales and Gets Attention

March 15, 2024 Aleem Aftab 0

Development for GreenMine (which is the trading name for Pyrolysise Ltd) started in 2017 and has involved the founder, John Bell investing circa £1.5M of his own money. This has led to the co-development of two technologies: which can process unsorted waste, emissions free and generate valuable offtakes. Some of these offtakes can be utilised to generate electricity, which means circa 35,000 MWh’s PA of decentralised energy generation per site. Other offtakes will be sold to agriculture and industry. GreenMine has been picked up in the industry press a fair bit of late. Here are a small selection of articles on them: Energy Central Alt [...]

GreenMine is funding now and expects to have its first site operational by August 2024

January 12, 2024 Aleem Aftab 0

GreenMine has co-developed a waste solution that processes unsorted waste into Bio-Coal (for electricity generation), Bio-Char (for agriculture), Bio-oil (numerous applications) and mineral recyclables (metals and minerals recycling). The exact proportions of the above offtakes depend on the constituents of the waste. Thus, GreenMine provides a solution for dealing with new waste, which benefits from a £90 per ton gate fee, and for dealing with legacy waste that has been sitting in landfill for years and could be now processed into the offtakes as detailed above and thus remediate landfill sites, returning them to brownfield or greenfield, ready for either industrial, [...]

GreenMine is the new trading name for Pyrolysise

November 28, 2023 Aleem Aftab 0

GreenMine, the new trading name of Pyrolysise Ltd, is gaining significant traction. GreenMine has co-developed a series of technologies designed for processing unsorted municipal waste (including plastics) from kerbside collection and landfill sites. One of them is detailed here. Municipal waste is a significant contributor to atmospheric pollution with landfill accounting for 4% of greenhouse gases in the UK. Landfills can also contaminate water supply through leachate into the subsoil. With GreenMine's technology, unsorted waste can be processed into bio-coal (allowing energy generation), bio-char (the new black gold), bio-oil (including lignin) and recyclables (glass, metals, minerals etc). Green baseload power and as [...]
