Objective

The objective of this project is to demonstrate the scalability and economic validity of the Bio- Combined Heat and Power (CHP) for converting organic and plastic waste into on-site waste to energy in order to meet Department of Defense (DoD) waste diversion and resiliency objectives.

Technology Description

Enexor BioEnergy has developed the Bio-CHP, a distributed, small-scale, grid-independent, waste to energy technology housed within a standard 20ft ISO shipping container that converts any combination of organic, biomass, and plastic waste into resilient power and thermal energy. Unlike most waste-to-energy technologies, the Bio-CHP does not use a gasification technology and does not suffer from the same economic or scaling issues. At the core of this system is a custom-built microturbine producing 75 kW of electricity and 200-400 kW of thermal energy.

Benefits

The demonstration will seek to provide ~20% savings in waste and energy costs of DoD facilities with an Energy-as-a-Service business model that will require minimal capital investment from a base. This value proposition would be beneficial for wide scale deployment and significantly improve energy resilience and reduce energy and waste disposal costs. (Anticipated Project Completion - 2025)
