- 1. Elementa GroupIntroduction – 2010CONFIDENTIAL - This information is shared for discussion purposes only
- 2. Elementa Group - OverviewPatented Technology for Sustainable Energy SolutionsThe World Faces 2 Major ProblemsElementa is a technology company with a solution for two of the world’s most pressing environmental problems:
- 4. Providing a variety of clean energy optionsElementa Has Best-in-Class TechnologyElementa’s process is based on Steam Reformation (SR) – a non-incineration, thermal technology:New technology applied to a well-known chemistry
- 7. Robust, tested, off-the-shelf systems & equipment
- 8. Unparalleled energy and economic efficiency
- 9. The highest GHG reduction rate per MWeElementa Group – Overview ContinuedPatented Technology for Sustainable Energy SolutionsElementa is a Company Positioning for Rapid GrowthElementa has:
- 10. Proprietary processes with IP ownership
- 11. Demonstrated experience – and success
- 12. In-house business and technology expertise – 25 employees and growing
- 13. Global client and partner relationships, with a rapidly growing project pipeline SustainabilityPatented Technology for Sustainable Energy SolutionsElementa Waste ConversionBreaks down waste through the application of indirect heat (no incineration),the absence of oxygen and the proper balance of chemistry: C + H2O = CO + H2Can accept various types of carbon based feedstock : paper, wood, green wastes, plastic, textiles – MSW, sewage sludge, medical waste – Elementa is currently focused on the MSW and industrial based markets
- 14. Requires only minimal preparation of waste
- 15. Exceedingly low air emissions (well below stringent international standards)
- 17. Significantly reduces the need for landfilling – therefore no odour issues, air emissions (methane), leachate, improper land use, and waste of valuable resourcesSustainabilityPatented Technology for Sustainable Energy SolutionsElementa Power GenerationOffsets energy produced from fossil fuels
- 18. Sustainably reduces GHG emissions
- 20. Steady, reliable based power output
- 21. Located close to the load centresProven ConceptOur challenge: Build on the Past by Optimizing the FutureElementa’s technology uses rotary kilns, which are the same as those used in ‘pyrolysis’ (a similar process but using different chemistry and temperature). Pyrolysis plants with rotary kilns have been successfully processing MSW in Germany for over 20 years. ConTherm Plant in Hamm, Germany
- 23. Operated in combination with Westfalen coal-fired plant
- 24. Capacity of 100,000 tonnes/yr
- 25. MSW Pyrolysis Plant in Burgau, Germany
- 27. Capacity of 35,000 tonnes/yearTechnology DemonstratorSault Ste. MariePilot Demonstration Site in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario
- 28. Operating since the fall of 2007
- 29. Capacity of 3 tonnes/day (increasing to 7 tonne/day)
