NEEF February 2010 Renew introduction Current activities A vision for the future

Renew Placing the North East at the forefront of the low carbon economy by facilitating the delivery of commercial energy and environmental opportunities through…………. – Market & Sector Development – Business and Project Support – Network Development Based within the Centre for Process Innovation at Wilton with satellite offices at NaREC in Blyth

Market & Sector Development North / South Tees Study CRN establishment Organics waste study Regional waste mapping study Plastics wastes arisings study Battery recycling study Micro - renewables market stimulus Environmental sector mapping

Progress so far In a little over 12 months – Working with a range of projects and developers we have : - Created over 50 new jobs Safeguarded ca 100 jobs Created 8 new businesses Directly worked with and supported over 200 companies Leveraged over £40m of private sector investment

So what’s actually happening? Key themes –Waste – a valuable resource –Power generation – from renewable sources –Carbon Capture and Storage – a USP for the NE –Micro-renewables – a real opportunity –Large wind – supply chain potential –Waste heat – what to do with it Segregation / sorting –Kerbside sorting –Centralised sorting and segregation –Combined thermal treatment and sorting e.g Graphite Resources –A thermal treatment which results in clean recyclates which are easily sorted and a residual waste stream that is easy to treat –Business opportunities Plastics, glass, paper and card

So what’s actually happening? Key themes –Waste – a valuable resource –Power generation – from renewable sources –Carbon Capture and Storage – a USP for the NE –Micro-renewables – a real opportunity –Large wind – supply chain potential –Waste heat – what to do with it Technology options –High temperature gasification / pyrolysis Produces a “syngas” stream (CO + Hydrogen) which can be used to generate electricity –Gasification plus post treatment Usually produces a transport fuel (ethanol or diesel) –Anaerobic digestion Produces a bio methane which can be used to generate electricity or can be used as a direct transport fuel. –Composting
