2 Contents Waste issues in London What is Biogas? How can waste give us fuel? The process and how AP makes it happen
3
Why Waste?
4
4 Legislation –Landfill EU directive 2025 35% target! LATS –Carbon –Renewables Fuel / Power economies –Gas –Automotive fuel duty –Electricity £€$
5
5 What is biogas? Agriculture / Livestock Kitchen waste Wastewater Compost Landfill gas 60% Methane (“Natural gas”) CO2 Other stuff Anaerobic digestion
6
6 Why Air Products ? Dirty Gas Valuable Fuel Gas separation experience R&D, IP Prism ®, Gemini ® Other technologies World’s Broadest Portfolio of Adsorption Products
7
7 Adsorption ? Dirty Gas Valuable Fuel 1000Nm 3 /hr H2 75Nm 3 /hr H2 Prism ®

Waste and Energy Solutions
11
11 Option 1: Waste to vehicle fuel CO2 neutral No fuel tax CC exempt Approx 60% MSW is organic London leads clean transport London’s green waste Digester (or other) Compost Biogas Transport H2 / NG Air Products
12
12 Option 1: Waste to vehicle fuel London’s green waste Digester (or gasifier) Compost Biogas Transport Air Products London’s sewage Local landfills 2M tonnes is 200k Nm³ annual methane prod’n or 000’s vehicles filled per day All carbon-neutral
13
13 Municipal waste (organic) = 28MM tonnes/year Heating value = 10,000 GWh Sorted local organic waste Local energy Fuel cell development Option 2: Waste to Energy UK FC Residual MSW could provide 20% of total UK energy consumption in 2020. - Institute of Civil Engineers, Renewable Power Assoc. 2005
14
14 Waste to Natural Gas Vehicle Sorted kitchen waste = 40k tonnes/year = 4M Nm 3 /yr biogas + Wastewater biogas ~ 9M Nm 3 /yr + Air Products gas cleanup plant (1500 Nm 3 /hr) + NGV Fuelling station + Small fleet converted to gas Assume: Free organic waste & collection; 3 year payback ~ 0.5 €/l Diesel equivalent possible Example: London Borough X
