New energy-from-waste solution launched

A next generation technology that processes waste into clean, renewable energy has been launched by defence technology specialists QinetiQ.

Energy from Waste (EfW) is a flexible enterprise-wide solution that will enable customers to recover value from their waste, generating heat and power.

The company’s decentralised approach aims to reduce landfill transportation costs, produce energy close to the source of waste and offer customer complete ownership of their waste management process.

Installation of the system will increase operational efficiency through the removal of disposal contracts and land taxes and exceed corporate responsibility through the removal of waste transportation to central disposal sites.

Sanjay Razdan, MD of QinetiQ’s New Technology Business expects that each Energy from Waste unit may provide enough electricity for up to 50 homes, or heat for up to 300.

He said: “QinetiQ understands waste management challenges and we believe the market is ready for small scale energy from waste solutions.

“After 8 years of thorough research and delivery, we have built on our Waste Disposal systems that are currently in service with the Royal Navy to develop the next generation Energy from Waste solution.”

The financial and environmental benefits in using the scheme will be measured by the company’s enterprise waste management software.

Healthcare, retail and specialist facilities management services are all striving to identify a decentralised Energy-from-Waste solution that has the ability to meet its Waste Management and Energy Recovery Requirements.
