Landfill stinks

January 26, 2024 Jane Maher 0

By Nick Dimmock, Director of Investor Relations at 350PPM And we’re not just talking about the smell. The whole concept of landfill is a horrendous blight on the environment and the long-term impact, even after landfill sites have stopped accepting waste, can still be felt for decades. The 2,200-acre Apex Regional Landfill in Las Vegas receives about 9,000 tons of municipal solid waste daily. It is the biggest in the US and has a projected life of 250 years. According to the International Solid Waste Association, a roadmap for closing waste dumpsites determined that landfill sites currently contain approximately 40% of the world's [...]

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 [...]

Ground-breaking waste carbonisation developer appoints Stopford

November 14, 2023 Aleem Aftab 0

We have appointed the multi-disciplinary engineering consultancy, Stopford, to support site due diligence and plant compliance for use in the UK, working towards the target to have our first UK plant operational by Q3 2024. Two potential industrial sites have already been identified specifically for the purpose of a pilot programme for three tonnes per hour plant converting municipal/medical waste to generate electricity for a grid connection. Stopford will undertake a desk study of the selected sites to assess whether they are fit for purpose, and secure planning and environmental permitting as part of its overall due diligence scope of work which also includes monitoring the plants’ performance [...]

GreenMine Identifies Second Site

November 4, 2023 Aleem Aftab 0

GreenMine has identified a second site for installation of its Waste Carbonisation Plants (WCP’s). The WCP’s can process unsorted waste, emissions and particle pollutants free, producing offtakes: Mineral Recyclables, Bio-Coal, Bio-Char and Bio-Oil. For these sites and others, we will be working with counterparties on site to utilise the Bio-Coal to develop baseload green energy and export to the grid. The mineral recyclables, bio-char and bio-oils will be sold off separately. One WCP, lease financed for circa £5M, will develop revenues of circa £290K per month. One WCP, which is based overseas, is currently processing 10% Municipal Solid Waste and 90% Plastic – which [...]

Pyrolysise gains tractions as application grows

October 21, 2023 Aleem Aftab 0

GreenMine is looking for support for development of its first Waste Carbonisation Plant (WCP). Carbonisation, which is an extreme form of Pyrolysis, featuring two chambers, is really gaining traction as a solution to process completely unsorted waste. We have had a lot of interest from the industry and interestingly Water companies, seeking to process their waste, and turn this into bio-char, which is considered to be black gold: Betting Big on Black Gold This is much more acceptable than pumping out effluent directly into our rivers, completely illegally. This scandal has been in the news recently and the water companies are keen to resolve [...]

Betting big on black gold for the offset market

October 16, 2023 Aleem Aftab 0

Biochar technology is showing real potential for helping to mitigate climate change as well as reducing waste and producing energy as a byproduct. But what exactly is biochar and what is it made of? Biochar, or “black gold”, is a lightweight black residue made of carbon and ashes, remaining after heating biomass in a controlled process called pyrolysis. It is rich in pyrogenic carbon and can endure in soil for thousands of years. Although it looks a lot like common charcoal, biochar is produced using a specific process to reduce contamination and safely store carbon. During pyrolysis organic materials, such as wood [...]
