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.

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

04

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.

05

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.

06

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.

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.
