GRE is an international company delivering carbon neutral, integrated solutions, for the production of sustainable renewable energy, from regional biomass.
Gussing Renewable Energy Asia is currently working on the application of its unique biomass gasification technology to plants at Daigo, Japan, and Nong Bua, Thailand.
The project in Thailand Began in 2010 with company formation and project assessment. The 250-million-baht project was a joint venture between GRE and Siam Cement Group (SCG), with research assistance from the Thailand Research Fund (TRF) and King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang (KMITL) has taken almost 8 years to complete.
The carbon-neutral waste gasification plant in Nong Bua built by Gussing Renewable Energy (GRE) recently began supplying power to the area in November, turning agricultural and forest waste from the local community to energy that could power about 3,000 homes.
The plant has an electrical output of one megawatt (MW) and a fuel capacity of 4MW, with an overall efficiency of around 75%. Some of the energy from the plant will be used for a 315-square-metre cold storage facility for farmers’ crops
The plant is technically carbon-neutral, as it accounts for the CO2 the biomass takes out of the atmosphere, which is then released after the final gas is burned as fuel. The system does not produce any waste water. The only byproduct is ash, which accounts for 2.5% of the mass put into the system, and can be reused as a soil conditioner in surrounding farms, or for cement.
In the future, the plant is expected to produce hydrogen and liquid kerosene that can be used in aeroplanes.
This is the first waste gasification plant built in Thailand.
he Nong Bua plant is essentially operating as a demonstration and test run for viability in other towns that wish to adopt the model.
Based on the success of the project, GRE and SCG hope to open 1-5MW plants in small towns with populations of 10,000-50,000 throughout Thailand, for a total capacity of about 1,000MW.
A carbon footprint is a measure of greenhouse gas emissions associated with an activity, product, or group. Direct emissions come from sources like fossil fuel combustion, while indirect emissions occur throughout a product's lifecycle. Calculating carbon footprints allows organizations and individuals to identify emission reduction opportunities. For organizations, common sources include premises energy use, business travel, and commuting. Product footprints consider all stages from material sourcing to disposal. Wood has a negative carbon footprint since trees absorb carbon as they grow. Using wood in construction can significantly reduce building emissions.

This proposal discusses a heat recovery system for Coronet Foods to reduce natural gas consumption. Coronet Foods uses natural gas for baking ovens whose exhaust reaches 200-250°C. Currently, this waste heat is released into the environment. The proposed system would recover up to 70% of this heat to heat water for use in production processes. This could save over 20% of Coronet's gas usage and lower costs significantly. Technical details are provided on gas composition, heat losses, heat recovery potential, and expected savings from utilizing currently wasted heat to heat water. The objectives are to analyze exhaust gases, maximize heat recovery, and implement a system to heat water for Coronet's operations.
Pyrolysis is a thermal decomposition process that converts organic materials into solid, liquid, and gas products without oxygen. Fast pyrolysis occurs between 400-600°C and favors maximum liquid production around 500°C. A benefit of pyrolysis is that it produces a liquid bio-oil that is more readily stored and transported than gases. Dr. Cramton has developed a fast pyrolysis reactor that converts materials like waste, biomass, coal, and tires into high energy gas and oil. The system has no harmful emissions and can produce gas and oil simultaneously for power generation while meeting all environmental standards.

We have to meet the energy & environment conditions otherwise penalty will be imposed and your factory will be closed. In this quiz we will discuss about energy. How to reduced energy and how to reduced pollution how to save environment? Etc. Hydrogen and could be a boon for renewable energy demand. But greening ammonia, the chemical primarily used to make fertilizer, will take a lot of heavy lifting. Green ammonia is two to three times more expensive than gray ammonia. Depends upon power source means where we are getting power from, i.e. Hydro power or non renewable source.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

- Use steam as a gasification
agent, containing no nitrogen
and thus the product gas has
high LHV of 12-13 MJ/Nm3.
- The product gas contains
mainly H2 (40 vol%) and CO
(20 vol%), which are the main
reactants for various
chemical production,
including Fischer-Tropsch
(FT) diesel, FT kerosene,
methane, etc.
- Pure Hydrogen can be
produced from the product
gas by separation process.
- In normal case, it uses air
as a gasification agent,
producing low heating
value (LHV) of product gas
of 4-6 MJ/Nm3 as the
product gas contains high
content of nitrogen in the
air that is injected in.
- Pure oxygen can be used
as a gasification agent to
avoid nitrogen in the
product gas, but the cost
of separation process of
air to produce pure
oxygen is high.
GRE DFB gasification is an
innovation of the gasification
process. The DFB gasifier
system developed by GRE is
