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 has secured Institutional interest that could fully fund the company and all its ambitions. Below are the revisited the developments of GreenMine, its team and objectives: Co-development of two types of technology, which deal with unsorted waste - emissions free. Creation of offtake products that can be used to generate electricity on site, meaning 2-3 MW of BASELOAD electricity into the grid, potentially at hundreds of locations across the country.a) With the demands for electricity increasing due to heat pumps, electric cars, the difficulties in bringing offshore wind energy onshore and getting it round the grid, this is a perfect opportunity to [...]

GreenMine begins its run of the entrepreneurial gauntlet to Institutional Investment

February 3, 2024 Aleem Aftab 0

As a quick brief, GreenMine has co-developed technology that can process UNSORTED waste on an emission free basis. GreenMine will now start small waste projects around the UK in phase 1 of their ambitious plans. In phase 2, GreenMine will increase the size of the Waste Processing Units and start processing, remediating, and cleaning 50 Hectare + landfill sites ready for redevelopment of housing. Where possible GreenMine will encourage Eco-Housing, which is more attractive to consumers and can command a higher price from developers for the land. GreenMine – solving waste and housing Here is the GreenMine update: We have identified several industrial waste [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
