WASTEWATER SEWAGE SLUDGE TO ENERGY TO HYDROGEN. ABSTRACT More than 60% of the initially organic matter in #WASTEWATER is concentrated as #SEWAGE #SLUDGE, which can be recovered as energy production through various technologies. #ANAEROBIC #DIGESTION AD converts biodegradable substances in the absence of molecular oxygen to biogas. DIGESTION process has the limitation to extract sufficiently the energy in SEWAGE SLUDGE, means that SEWAGE SLUDGE is still energy profitable containing organic matter but poor in biodegradability. Here is where sludge PYROLISIS that can convert both raw & digested sludge into useful bioenergy in the form of oil & gas, forming BIOCHAR as carbon sequestration & soil conditioning. PYROLISIS-based bioenergy production is the endothermic thermo-chemical process that can extract energy from organics, regardless of whether the organic matter is biodegradable or not usually used with energy crop & biomass waste. All the outcome, liquid like termed bio-oil, non-condensable gaseous like termed pyrolysis gas & solid like BIOCHAR fraction have potential for heat & electricity generation. SEWAGE SLUDGE contains high levels of organic matter & therefore it is subject to fermentation with potential secondary pollution characteristics. Conventional landfilling & land-farming methods to manage SEWAGE SLUDGE have negative impacts on environmental sustainability & economic viability. PATHWAYS One is an exclusive PYROLISIS process from raw sludge & the other is based on ANAEROBIC DIGESTION followed by PYROLISIS from digested sludge achieving higher energy efficiency compared to the pathway employing the PYROLISIS alone. SEWAGE SLUDGE positively & simultaneously addresses energy issue like landfill gas, but with negative sludge landfill undesirable emissions like leachate while application of sludge to land incurs local soil contamination by heavy metals & pathogens. ANAEROBIC DIGESTION & PYROLISIS. ANAEROBIC DIGESTION is thought of as one of the most technically-mature & cost-effective processes to convert sludge to methane-rich bioenergy #BIOGAS. Historically, the AD process applied for sludge stabilization to reduce odors & pathogens & currently, emphasis is captured on exploiting & utilizing its actual & potential ability for energy conservation & recovery. However, hazardous risks at substances contained heavy metals & POPS cannot be alleviated via ANAEROBIC DIGESTION process means digested sludge impact an environmentally & on public health being, on the other hand energy profitable considering that it contains comparable organic matter. Half the organic matter in sludge can be converted via PYROLISIS into useful bioenergy oil or gas, & that the rest of the organic matter can be dominantly distributed into pyrolytic residue #BIOCHAR with highly immobilized hazardous heavy metals improving soil quality & increase nutrient bioavailability. PYROLISIS is versatile & has high energy conversion efficiency. #hydrogen #netzero

𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐢𝐨𝐠𝐚𝐬 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐌𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐞 Membrane separation is a rapidly growing technology for this process due to its economic advantages over traditional methods like water scrubbing. However, conventional upgrading removes valuable resources from the biogas stream along with contaminants. Integrated membrane systems offer a more sustainable approach.

Choosing Between Biogas and Natural Gas: What You Need to Know In today’s world, making the right choice between biogas and natural gas is crucial for our environment. Both energy sources are used to generate electricity, cook, and heat homes. Yet they affect our planet in different ways. Biogas is a renewable resource made from organic waste like food scraps and animal manure. It helps Reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 51-70%. On the other hand, natural gas is a fossil fuel found deep in the Earth. It's not renewable. Burning natural gas releases more carbon dioxide than biogas. Key differences lie in their source and production processes: Biogas: Comes from organic waste through anaerobic digestion. Natural Gas: Extracted from fossil deposits after millions of years of formation. When it comes to environmental impact, biogas shines as it cuts down greenhouse emissions significantly compared to natural gas. Moreover, using biowaste supports sustainable energy practices while producing nutrient-rich fertiliser as a by-product. Yet, natural gas emits large amounts of CO2 when burned—adding up to climate change issues—plus extraction can damage air quality and ecosystems. Here’s an eye-opening fact: Biogas has a near carbon-neutral cycle! This means that its overall emissions are much lower compared to those from natural gas production. Both energy sources have their pros and cons: Benefits of Biogas: Renewable energy from waste. Helps reduce emissions. Drawbacks of Biogas: Contains impurities which can damage generating equipment unless removed. Benefits of Natural Gas: Efficient for heating with lower emissions than coal or oil. Drawbacks of Natural Gas: Methane leaks (fugitive emissions) especially during transport pose a serious climate risk. As professionals in environmental research or waste management... we must consider these factors carefully. The choices we make matter deeply for our planet's future! Want to learn more?

Hapag-Lloyd Launches Biofuel-Linked CO2 Credits Courtesy Hapag-Lloyd Published May 7, 2023 4:09 PM by The Maritime Executive   Hapag-Lloyd is following the example set by Norden to offer biofuel-linked CO2 avoidance certificates for customers who want to contribute to cutting down on emissions for their shipments. Through ‘Ship Green’, a new solution for climate-friendly transportation based on biofuel, customers can contribute to cutting down on greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions by changing the fuel used in order to avoid emissions for the voyage directly and immediately, with up to 100 percent reduction.  The current common practice for carbon offsets has been based on companies buying CO2 certificates from climate protection projects, which does not directly change the customer's own emissions and relies on (sometimes controversial) certification schemes.  With Ship Green, customers can choose three different options with different levels of avoidance in carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions. This lets customers ‘book and claim’ different levels of reduction - either 100 percent, 50 percent or 25 percent of their shipment’s ocean-leg CO2e emissions. The solution rests on the use of biofuel in Hapag's fleet, which produces less well-to-wake greenhouse gas emissions.Hapag-Lloyd uses biodiesel on a subset of its vessels and is currently pursuing a strategy aimed at using biomethane and hydrogen-based fuels such as green methanol and ammonia in the future. The company has also dived deep into liquefied natural gas (LNG) and from next year expects to start taking delivery of 12 containerships operating on LNG each with a capacity of over 23,500 TEU. “At Hapag-Lloyd, we are committed to making it easier for our customers to avoid emissions and contribute to decarbonization. With our new Ship Green solution, we are offering our customers an easy and flexible way to reduce their environmental footprint and make their supply chain more sustainable,” said Rolf Habben Jansen, Hapag-Lloyd CEO. Customers who sign up to the solution will be allocated emissions avoidance results from the use of biofuel instead of conventional marine fuel oil within its fleet. This is based on the company’s use of biofuel from 2nd-generation feedstock sourced from certified supply chains and produced from waste material, such as brown grease or used cooking oil. The avoided emissions are allocated to shipments with the so-called “book and claim” approach, meaning that Hapag-Lloyd can attribute avoided CO2e emissions to all ocean-leg transports - regardless of the vessel and route used. At the end of every quarter, customers will receive an emissions avoidance declaration verifying the total emissions prevented through Ship Green in the respective period.  Currently, the Ship Green solution that is purely based on biodiesel will only be available for dry cargo, but will be expanded to other cargo types in the future.

The Top Innovations in Waste-To-Energy Technology....1 ◾ Anaerobic digestion (AD) 🔹 Anaerobic digestion is a biochemical process that takes feedstock and places it in a reactor in the absence of oxygen to create biogas and digestate. The waste is broken down inside of reactors that are rich in microbial communities. 🔹 The biogas resulting from AD is mainly made up of methane (the very same methane that arises from landfills, though here it’s used for a purpose) and carbon dioxide. It also contains trace amounts of water vapor, other gasses, and contaminants. 🔹 Anaerobic digestion biogas can be used as a transport fuel, heat, and electricity. The other product of the AD process, the digestate, is a solid or liquid substance that can be used as a fertilizer and to create bio products like construction materials or animal bedding. 🔹 Anaerobic digestion, however, is not as efficient as some other waste-to-energy technologies. In fact, its estimated energy efficiency is 40%, at best. There is also room for concerns regarding emissions. 🔹 A significant financial drawback of AD plant management comes from the high maintenance cost for the proper handling of biogas and ensuring that no leaks or harmful waste seep into the air and soil. 🔹 Future waste-to-energy technology in this sector would need to divide its focus between improving efficiency, decreasing emissions, and building an infrastructure that would reduce the chance of leakage and cut maintenance costs. ◾ Gasification 🔹 Gasification is a thermal WtE method that’s generally considered a much better alternative to incineration, as its product (syngas) gets cleaned before (rather than after) use. In other words, gasification waste-to-energy plants produce much less pollution than traditional incinerators. 🔹 Gasification uses municipal waste as a feedstock rather than a fuel and converts it into syngas under high temperatures. 🔹 Syngas is a combustible synthetic gas (where the name comes from, clearly) that can be used as fuel for transportation, an alternative to natural gas, and for fertilization. Keep in mind that most gasification plants require careful sorting and pre-processing of municipal waste, as not all materials are suitable for gasification. 🔹 What’s great with gasification is that it works with non-recyclable plastics without emitting harmful air pollutants. The newest development in gasification comes in the form of plasma gasification, or plasma arc gasification.
