Pollution to Power

Environmental Challenge
The problems associated with landfills, even with those that are clay-lined, include high water table, groundwater contamination and gas migration. High percentages of organics and plastics have led to breakouts of fire due to methane gas generation.
The increase in the population has forced people to settle near the dumping grounds. This has led to the twin problems of people living in unhealthy conditions and protesting for the closure of the dumping grounds due to the health hazards.

In India 100,000 tons of Municipal Solid Waste is generated every day which equals approximately 36.5 million tons annually.

The waste at landfills is covered with debris and spread evenly in layers. The organic waste undergoes natural decomposition and generates a fluid, which is known a leachate, and if not treated properly is very harmful to the ecosystem. The leachate penetrates the soil and pollutes the ground water.
Solution

Our Waste to Energy technologies can also be used on the existing waste in the current landfills. Mining and processing this landfill material through our systems will allow cities to reclaim the land for other purposes as well as contribute to the reduction in Greenhouse Gases.
Energy Challenge
Asia’s energy grid is prime example of a supply and demand system being out of balance. Most of the electricity generated is produced by burning coal or oil. In India, the power produced can barely meet the demand. In fact in July 2012, half of the country was without power for days due to a collapse of the power grid. This collapse was a direct result of demand exceeding supply. Nepal is also subject to “rolling” black-outs in order to control the supply of electricity. Citizens of Nepal can go hours without power as often as every day at times when the demand exceeds the supply.
Solution
Our Waste to Energy systems have the capability of solving the energy crisis in India as well as Nepal. Each plant can transform tons of Municipal Solid Waste into 12-50 Megawatts per hour of Electricity. The only requirements for the host country is to provide the Garbage, land for the plant, and to sign a 20 year Power Purchase Agreement to buy back the power at a rate lower than what they can re-sell it for on their existing Power Grid. Asia Global Energy will install the Plant and manage the operations for the duration of the Power Purchase Agreement. This arrangement is a highly profitable solution for both the host Countries Government, and for Asia Global Energy….specifically in countries with developing economies and high electricity rates.
