PROAMBIENTE designed as an ecological fuel caloric punch than the fossil

The price per ton divided by three to coal or coal and CO2 emissions are much lower than those that release other similar energy sources.

The company PROAMBIENTE believes he found the philosopher's stone. The director of the firm, Rufino Montero, introduced an organic product, extracted from the solid waste coming into the plant, according to technicians and engineers, could end much of the fossil fuels as environmental pollutants for their huge emissions of CO2 to the atmosphere.

Two years of research and EUR 3.1 million investment is what has cost engineers to achieve their PROAMBIENTE Waste Derived Fuel (CDR), although commercial speech have dubbed "Blending", which translated into Spanish means 'mixing'. And that is exactly the product you technicians presented yesterday at the premises of the employer Ángel Fenoll, a fuel that said 'be alternative and substitute for oil and other fossil fuels ", they said, consists of a mixture of plastic, fabric and other materials that after going through a shredder confetti out as fair to the hoppers. Subsequently compacted and dried to be transported with less volume of cargo.

Engineers ensure that the 'Blending' exceeds the heat capacity of similar, reaching between 4,500 and 5,000 kilocalories during combustion process.
Engineers also reveals that until now the technology in the recycle plant PROAMBIENTE allowed 78 per cent of waste received, so the remaining 22% had to deposit in the vessels of its own landfill, underground. The waste-derived fuel has reduced to 4% the amount of liquid waste stored underground, a fact that was struck by the delegation of mayors and representatives from other municipalities socialists who visited the facility yesterday. A tour that did not attend the PSOE provincial deputy, Antonio Amorós, although it is also invited.

About 66% cheaper

The cost of marketing to this new fuel coming out of an ecological nature in the direction of the company, is one third the price that companies now pay for coal, which is around 90 euros a tonne, while in the case of ' Blending 'does not exceed 30. Thus, the main customer of CDR are cement companies, power plants or heating plants. Similarly, those responsible for this fuel green character saves the recipients indicated that around 66% in purchasing costs, which would add "significant tax cut by reducing the emission of polluting gases into the atmosphere ", qualify the engineers.

The final leg of tour PROAMBIENTE ecological technology led his visitors to the power plant, located in the upper part of the facility. There, the executive of the Southern Energy Europe, Christopher Eden, reported on the process of obtaining electricity from methane gas from waste vessel's own landfill.

The company's controversial businessman Ángel Fenoll Orihuela in this process was initiated in 2001 a few weeks ago opened a new engine exhaust gas that allows the company to generate up to 1.7 megawatt hour, through destroying 6000 tonnes of methane per year, or what is different about 126,000 metric tons of CO2 that does not reach the atmosphere. To these figures must be added that methane is a gas it takes to decompose between 100 and 200 years, so that the benefits "are obvious," said Eden.

This generated electricity is sold to different companies is to supply between 3,000 and 4,000 homes per year.
