Market opportunities for waste derived fuels and process heatRicardo- AEA
AEA's Kathryn Warren presents at an event hosted by Envirolink at the National Motorcycle Museum, Solihull.
This year’s Landfill Tax rise to £64 per tonne plus disposal charge means that sending waste to landfill is becoming an uneconomical option. In a climate where customers are looking to get the best deal possible on their waste disposal costs, recycling and waste companies are under pressure to find alternatives to landfill. Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF) or Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) offers a potential to utilise the combustible fraction of waste as a fuel within the energy, combined heat and power (CHP) and cement industries.
This event provided an introduction to SRF markets in the UK and Europe; testing standards and protocols; best practice refinement equipment; the perspectives of endusers and case study examples.

These gases can then be converted to liquid fuels. Experimental systems at the 10 kW and 100 kW scale are presented that use concentrated solar energy to drive the endothermic reactions. Testing showed the systems can split zinc oxide to produce oxygen and zinc for further fuel synthesis.
The document summarizes research on liquid fuels production from water, carbon dioxide, and solar energy. Key points:
1) A solar thermochemical process splits water and CO2 into syngas (H2 and CO) using metal oxide redox reactions, which can then be converted to liquid fuels like diesel and jet fuel.
2) Experimental systems at IMDEA Energy have achieved up to 0.8% solar-to-fuel efficiency for CO2 splitting and 0.7% for H2O splitting.
3) Tests simultaneously splitting CO2 and H2O produced syngas with a H2/CO ratio of 2, suitable for liquid fuels synthesis.
Producción de hidrógeno a partir de energías renovables_A.MonzónIMDEA Energia
The document discusses renewable hydrogen production and the need to transition away from fossil fuels. It notes that current global energy consumption is around 15 terawatts and that many renewable sources could potentially supply significantly more power, such as solar at 7650 terawatts. However, a single dominant solution is preferable to an energy mix. As such, the document argues that a solar hydrogen economy has the highest sustainable power output potential and should be the focus for the world's future energy needs.
New catalysis advances for a sustainable energetic development_Jens R. NielsenIMDEA Energia
The document discusses the role of catalysis in enabling sustainable energy solutions.

It describes the challenges of converting complex carbohydrate polymers in biomass into smaller oxygen-deficient fuel molecules suitable for engines. Pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis are key steps to break down biomass into fermentable sugars, but pose technological challenges around enzyme efficiency and substrate accessibility. Advances are being made in pilot and demonstration facilities across Europe to develop biochemical conversion methods at commercial scale.
Catalysis for energy: New challenges for a sustainable energetic developmentIMDEA Energia
This document discusses biorefineries as a sustainable solution to the environmental risks of fossil fuels. It describes how biorefineries can integrate biomass conversion processes to produce biofuels, power, and chemicals from various feedstocks like lignocellulosic biomass, sugar crops, and oilseeds. The biorefinery concept utilizes different platforms—including sugar, syngas, bio-oil, biogas and oil—to transform biomass into higher value products and maximize value derived from the feedstock. Each platform involves various conversion technologies and can produce an array of fuels and chemicals to potentially replace those currently obtained from fossil resources.
Smart grids More efficient and reliable gridsIMDEA Energia
The document discusses smart grids and their role in creating more efficient and reliable electricity systems. It notes that electricity demand is rising significantly globally due to growth in developing countries. Smart grids can help meet this rising demand through improved capacity, reliability, efficiency and sustainability. They allow for higher penetration of renewable energy and demand response. Ongoing smart grid projects in Malta and Stockholm are highlighted which aim to integrate electric vehicles, renewable energy and energy storage among other things. Smart grids are concluded to significantly help mitigate climate change by allowing higher utilization of generation, transmission and distribution assets as well as higher levels of variable renewable energy and demand response.

Commercial projects use technologies of parabolic troughs with low
concentration in two dimensions and linear focus, or systems of
central tower and heliostat fields, operating with thermal fluids at
relatively modest temperatures, below 400 ºC .
The
Th most immediate consequences of these conservative d i
i di f h i designs
are:
the use of systems with efficiencies below 20% nominal in the
conversion of direct solar radiation to electricity,
y,
the tight limitation in the use of efficient energy storage Extresol 1 and 2 (ACS/Cobra)
systems,
the high water consumption and land extension due to the
inefficiency of the integration with the power block,
the lack of rational schemes for their integration in distributed
generation architectures and
the limitation to reach the temperatures needed for the
generation processes following thermochemical routes of
solar fuels like hydrogen.
