Solutions
What your waste can become
Each SAVRES facility converts an environmental liability into a portfolio of valuable commodities: electricity, potable water, diesel, jet fuel, green hydrogen, methanol, carbon black and thermal energy — all from a single waste stream.
Electricity
22–29 MW gross from a 1,000 tpd facility
Steam turbine generators and electrical gensets produce 24/7 baseload power for the grid. A 1,000 tpd SAVRES-integrated plant powers 45,000–55,000 homes.
- 24/7 baseload grid export
- On-site power for alternative production (Hydrogen, Carbon Black)
- Combined Heat and Power (CHP) auxiliary power
Clean Potable Water
~75,000 people supplied per 1,000 tpd facility
The liquid digestate (liquor) is sent to the Water Island for processing — through membrane filtration, advanced purification and clean water storage — providing 4 litres per person per day (subject to moisture content).
- Community potable water distribution
- SDG-6 alignment (Clean Water & Sanitation)
- No reliance on water revenues for debt service
Diesel
Via optional Fischer-Tropsch Fuel Island
Waste-derived diesel produced via the optional Fischer-Tropsch process. With sustained oil and gas prices, turning waste into fuel has never been more valuable.
- Transport and logistics fleets
- Government and military supply
- Open commodity market sales
Sustainable Aviation Fuel (Jet Fuel)
Via Fischer-Tropsch synthesis
Proprietary Fischer-Tropsch technology converts syngas into sustainable aviation fuel — produced at significantly lower cost than fossil alternatives.
- Cost-competitive with fossil jet fuel
- Governmental and military applications
- High-value commodity market
Green Hydrogen
Produced via on-site electrolyzer
An integrated electrolyzer splits deionized water to produce H₂ and O₂. The hydrogen can be exported or used on-site; the oxygen supports the gasification process.
- Clean transport fuel export
- On-site energy production
- Industrial feedstock
Methanol
Optional methanol synthesis module
An optional methanol island converts syngas into methanol — a versatile fuel and chemical feedstock — opening an additional revenue stream from the same waste feedstock.
- Chemical industry feedstock
- Shipping and heavy transport fuel
- Blended fuel markets
Carbon Black
Via RWGS carbon processing
CO₂ recycled through the Reverse Water-Gas Shift (RWGS) process produces carbon black — a valuable industrial commodity — whilst further reducing the plant's carbon footprint.
- Tyre and rubber manufacturing
- Pigment and coating industry
- Circular carbon economy
Thermal Energy (CHP)
25–30 MW thermal from a 1,000 tpd facility
Process heat captured via the Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG) and Combined Heat and Power (CHP) system — supplied to neighbouring industries or used for on-site drying.
- District heating networks
- Industrial process steam
- On-site feedstock drying
The Process
From waste arrival to grid connection
A six-step closed-system conversion — no incineration, no toxic residue, no liquid discharge.
Waste Reception & Recycling
Waste arrives on the tipping floor. Large recyclable items are removed. The balance is directed to the separation area — glass, metals and pollutants separated, with the remainder pelletised for the energy plant.
Anaerobic Digestion (AD)
Organic material is broken down by microorganisms in a sealed digester through four stages: Hydrolysis → Acidogenesis → Acetogenesis → Methanogenesis. Biogas (methane + CO₂) is produced and oxidised for heat and electricity.
Primary Gasification Chamber
Dried digestate solids and remaining waste are fed into the primary gasifier. Pyrolytic gasification converts waste into a high-energy synthetic gas (syngas) at 600–800°C. No external fuel source required.
Secondary Chamber & HRSG
Syngas is thermally oxidised in the secondary chamber at 1,200°C (2,000°F) — physically preventing dioxin and furan formation. The heat is captured by the Heat Recovery Steam Generator to produce superheated steam.
Steam Turbine & Grid Export
Steam drives the turbine generator which produces electricity. Switching gear regulates power to the transformer station and from there to the electrical grid. Excess steam is condensed back into the HRSG.
Air Quality Control & Compliance
All exhaust air is treated, cleaned and continuously monitored for strict compliance before release through the stack. Emissions are certified well below EC Regulation 2000/76/CE and WHO 2021 guidelines.
Certified Emissions
Independent certification — well below global standards
The SAVRES process operates as an entirely closed system. Because the technology oxidises syngas at 1,200°C, it cannot produce dioxins, furans or VOCs.
| Air Pollutant | SAVRES System | EC Reg. 2000/76/CE | WHO 2021 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Particulates | < 3.5 mg/Rm³ | < 10 mg/Rm³ | < 5 mg/Rm³ |
| HCl | 0.33 mg/Rm³ | < 10 mg/Rm³ | < 106 mg/Rm³ |
| NOx | 124 mg/Rm³ | < 400 mg/Rm³ | < 472 mg/Rm³ |
| CO | 36 mg/Rm³ | < 1,550 mg/Rm³ | < 315 mg/Rm³ |
| Heavy Metals | Below Detection Limit | < 1,000 µg/Rm³ | < 0.02 mg/Rm³ |
Independent consultants have certified the process as Carbon Negative, removing approximately 600 tonnes of CO₂ annually per typical installation.
Delivery Model
De-risked, bankable, built to last
SAVRES projects are built on rigorous, audited business models with secured revenue streams throughout the 25-year project life cycle.
Proven technology only
8,000+ operational hours minimum — with full emission data, conversion rates and balanced performance metrics before any technology is deployed.
Insurance-backed risk
Plant performance and process efficiency are insured, mitigating up to 98% of project risk. Bankability backed by rigorous due diligence.
15–16% levered equity IRR
Each facility targets infrastructure-grade financial returns, processing 200–2,000 tonnes per day with a 25-year life expectancy and budgeted maintenance reserve.
Securitized revenues
Long-term 20-year waste supply agreements and Power Purchase Agreements underpin revenue — with additional income from carbon credits and commodity sales.
Even the by-products generate revenue
Vitrified aggregates and ash are repurposed by cement manufacturing and road construction. Carbon black, hydrogen, oxygen and CO₂ compressed gas are sold on the open market. Virtually zero residue leaves the site.
