- 2. Riverside, CA based synthetic fuel company. Exclusive license to a new advanced gasification technology. Convert biomass, coal, waste & biosolids to high value fuels: o Methane (CH4), Raw Natural Gas (RNG). o Fischer-Tropsch Diesel / Jet fuel. o Hydrogen (H2) & Electric Power. Focus on RNG production from Biomass, Coal-Biomass Mix., Municipal Solid Waste (MSW). IP: 19 patents/patent applications About Viresco Energy
- 3. Biomass, coal and other domestic resources can be converted into synthetic fuels: – RNG, FT diesel, gasoline, jet fuel & electricity.
- 4. Any carbonaceous material can be converted by the Viresco process into synthetic fuel. What feedstocks can be used? Biomass Organic Wood, forest clearings Crop waste, agricultural residues Energy crops (switchgrass, corn stover) Animal, municipal solid waste, biosolids Fossil Organic Coal Petroleum Organic Plastic (PVC, PUF) Polymers (rubber, tires)
- 5. Synthetic Fuel Generation High Energy Synthesis Gas Coal Biomass/Wood Carbonaceous Wastes
- 6. What is Gasification? A thermo-chemical process converts any carbon-containing material into a synthesis gas. Carbon Source (coal, wood, sewage, etc) Gasifying agent (O2, Steam, H2, etc) Heat (700-2000ºC) H2, CO, CO2, CH4 The synthesis gas can be used to produce different fuels & chemicals. Methane can be converted into Renewable Natural Gas (RNG). Low or negative-value feedstocks Marketable fuels and products.
- 7. Viresco Energy’s Technology A thermo-chemical process converts any carbon-containing material into a renewable natural gas (RNG). feedstock Gasification + Cleanup Shift RNG H2/CO CH4 Electricity Recycled water Slurry H2 Steam Hydrogasification based – Avoids oxygen plant. Slurry feed – Pre-treated biomass/wastes & other feedstocks. Recycled Hydrogen.
- 8. Steam Hydrogasification Steam hydrogasification uses both steam and hydrogen to affect the reaction. CxHyOz + 2H2 CH4 + Others (CO, CO2) CxHyOz + 2H2 + H2O CH4 + H2O + Others (CO, CO2, C2+) Steam hydrogasification also requires a supply of hydrogen, which can be supplied by various processes, such as reformation of natural gas or oxygen-steam gasification of char. The addition of steam into the gasifier promotes additional hydrogen formation. This hydrogen can be separated and reused but the advantages of this may be offset by the cost of gas separation. (Biomass)) (Biomass)) (Steam)) Hydrogasification) Steam-Hydrogasification) Low T; High reaction rate High Temperature (T); Low reaction rate
- 9. What is Unique in Viresco Process As a Carrier for the Feedstock High pressure slurry pump. Can handle wet feedstock w/o drying. Enhancing the Reaction Rate Less residence time required. Feed for the Steam Methane Reformer Viresco Process uses less water per ton of feed compared to other gasification processes Most of the water is recycled.
- 10. What is Unique in Viresco Process……….Continued Self Sustainability Internal Hydrogen Feedback. No Oxygen Required Don’t need Expensive Air Separation Plant. Toxic or Air Pollution Emissions are below Health or Environmental concern. Control H2/CO ratio by varying feed ratio. Fuels produced are compatible with existing vehicle and distribution infrastructure.
- 11. Business Plans Market Analysis: Natural gas production, demand & pricing forecast. Pricing by region/state – pipeline infrastructure availability. Anticipated high demand regions & sectors (industrial, home heating, etc) Reference Sites: Energy Information Administration - www.eia.doe.gov International Energy Agency – www.iea.org National Energy Technology Laboratory – www.netl.doe.gov
