This project will see the development and demonstration of a novel, highly efficient, low cost technology for the conversion of waste into low-carbon energy. The novel microwave-induced plasma gasification facility will be deployed at the United Utilities (UU) Ellesmere Port site as a basis of screening waste gasification. The facility will help reduce the volume of UUs waste being sent to landfill and enable the recovery of renewable energy for use on site. The exceptionally high temperatures produced by plasma during gasification will deem the facility suitable for the conversion of a wide range of feedstocks into energy spanning municipal and commercial waste streams. The facility will also be eligible for Government fiscal incentives for renewable energy generation. The technology therefore presents industry with a viable technology for the recovery from energy from biomass and waste delivering increased performance and at a lower CAPEX than existing technologies.

该项目将开发和示范一种新颖、高效、低成本的技术，将废物转化为低碳能源。新型微波诱导等离子体气化设施将部署在联合公用事业公司 (UU) 埃尔斯米尔港基地，作为筛选废物气化的基础。该设施将有助于减少送往垃圾填埋场的 UU 废物量，并能够回收可再生能源以供现场使用。气化过程中等离子体产生的异常高温将使该设施适合将各种原料转化为涵盖城市和商业废物流的能源。该设施还将有资格获得政府对可再生能源发电的财政激励措施。因此，该技术为工业界提供了一种从生物质和废物中回收能源的可行技术，与现有技术相比，可提供更高的性能和更低的资本支出。
