Proprietary system capable of valorizing up to 80% of the municipal solid waste being landfilled around the world.
Divides mixed waste into three streams with little cross contamination: (i) a homogenized, sized, and pasteurized biogenic fraction, (ii) a clean mixed plastic fraction, and (iii) inerts (e.g., metal, rocks, glass)
The biogenic fraction, food waste, paper products and vegetative waste typically make up 50-70% of landfilled materials where it breaks down and generates a highly destructive greenhouse gas – methane.
The BurCell System recovers virtually all the biogenic fraction and creates a feedstock for anaerobic digestion that produces twice the biogas versus other systems that mechanically recover organics from municipal solid waste.
The Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) has a NEGATIVE carbon intensity of 185 – 225 gCO2e/MJ1
Clean plastic fraction is ideal for thermochemical conversion into circular plastics, but, as a bridge use, it can be combined with digestate or full biogenic fraction to produce a carbon beneficial coal substitute
Contrasts with current “state of the art” waste sorting centers (Material Recovery Facilities or “MRFs”), the BurCell System
Dramatically reduces the waste materials going to landfill and the environmental impacts of such
Produces carbon negative renewable fuels that provide long term reliable sources of revenue, from a lower relative cost position
