Problem 1

Current Landfills are Unsustainable Environmentally unsustainable 

US generates 250 million tons of waste annually 2 tons of greenhouse gases emitted per ton of waste landfilled Pollute soil & water

Economically unsustainable   

Declining profit margins Limited revenue streams Rising environmental compliance costs


Baseload reliant on fossil fuels 

 

93% Baseload power from fossil fuels Demand for renewables Current renewables only address peak power

Unmet demand for renewables 

Renewable peak power markets saturated Policy benchmarks demand more renewable capacity Future growth must address gap in baseload power

Problem 2

The FastOx® Gasifier Converts any waste to renewable energy  Reaches over 4000°F  Produces net carbon negative energy  Profitable without subsidy  Low maintenance  Scalable in a single unit

How It Works   

Waste is fed into the top Oxygen and steam injected at the bottom Organics vaporize - recovered as energy-dense syngas Inorganics melt - recovered as inert stone and metal


Inputs* Waste into gasifier: 1,000 kg Oxygen into gasifier: 233 kg Steam into gasifier: 96 kg

Outputs* Syngas Net Calorific Value: 8.26 - 8.87 MJ/kg (dry syngas) Composition: 70% Carbon Monoxide 30% Hydrogen*

Inert Stone Molten metal and stone: 101 kg

End Products Electricity: 1,083 kWhe (gross) Diesel: 148 liters Hydrogen: 78 kg

Competitive Advantages Efficient Cold gas efficiency: 66-79% Parasitic load: 16-20% Reliable 347 days of continual uptime Low Emissions + Lower emissions profile than natural gas + Lowest Nox and Sox emissions of any conversion technology

Cost Effective Costs 40% less than competing technologies
