Today’s coal plants can directly co-fire with NextFuel™ briquettes without any expensive rebuilding of its infrastructure. They can even replace 100% of their coal consumption with our clean fuel. Rather than having to close down or switch to natural gas or wood pellets (which both requires expensive rebuilding) coal plants can switch directly to elephant grass based NextFuel™ briquettes and continue operation with the same workforce and infrastructure. For the first time, we have a possibility to replace the world’s entire coal use with an inexpensive clean alternative directly, while continuing to use the same infrastructure. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58fe2b59ebbd1a29e5fddd55/1526649137239-HJ5ZVTZFTBEN9GTC3Y17/replace+oil Markets - REPLACE OIL Several industries can also replace heating oil with NextFuel™ briquettes, by only switching burners. Since NextFuel™ is less expensive than heating oil in most places, companies can fast earn back their investment and drastically reduce their heating costs and pollution level. NextFuel™ briquettes can also be converted to Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) by utilizing the Fischer-Tropsch process. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58fe2b59ebbd1a29e5fddd55/1526648542809-HYXNYH2YI19LXI3TMCCJ/wind+and+solar+backup+power Markets - WIND AND SOLAR BACKUP POWER The renewable energy sector, e.g. wind and solar, often relies on dirty fossil fuel as backup power when there is no wind, or the sun is not shining. Adding NextFuel™ production facilities as an integral part of their renewable energy production capacity, this sector have the potential to cleanly produce both heat and inexpensive clean electricity continually, with only insignificant differences in power output. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58fe2b59ebbd1a29e5fddd55/1526649881509-KA4G65TDF86HVXHJKVZK/bagasse+as+industrial+torrefied+fuel+briquette+pellets Markets - TRANSFORM WASTE TO A VALUABLE PRODUCT We can use bagasse, agricultural waste and other residues as raw material in our torrefaction reactor. This means that we can, for instance, work with the sugar industry to convert a surplus product from their sugar canes into a valuable fuel. Several industries can now make a profit from their unused resources. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58fe2b59ebbd1a29e5fddd55/1526649585463-8HYE99MQVE79DTR9S3Z4/replace+wood+pellets Markets - REPLACE WOOD PELLETS Our fuel can replace wood pellets, thereby reducing deforestation. In contrast to wood pellets, our torrefied briquette is water resistant and can be treated similar to coal. NextFuel™ briquettes have a higher energy content per tonne than unprocessed biomass, and are therefore less expensive to transport. Additionally, NextFuel™ briquettes can be produced from elephant grass that grows much quicker than trees, captures much more CO2 per hectare per year, and are easier to harvest. All important factors that can help improve the biomass industries' carbon footprint and economics. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58fe2b59ebbd1a29e5fddd55/1526649728744-QSN432ZMCCKHPRGQNLUC/replace+charcoal Markets - REPLACE CHARCOAL NextFuel™ can cost-effectively replace charcoal in several industries. Consumers in developing countries might also in the future use NextFuel™ briquettes as fuel in small portable cooking ovens. Both practices can contribute to save forests and lives. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58fe2b59ebbd1a29e5fddd55/1572965029712-NHMNKEH5OYPJUW5UBBMN/torrefied+biomass+briqettes Markets New samples of NextFuel getting ready to be shipped to a major global steel producer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58fe2b59ebbd1a29e5fddd55/5c930380-3fd8-44d6-b6c8-f525ff875215/1707474797472.jpeg Markets -
