1. 1 Waste To Energy (WtE) A Renewable Energy Source June 26, 2013 Joe Yavorski jyavorski@creative-energy-sys.com

2. 2 Overview What is Waste to Energy Environmental and Recycling Concerns

3. 3 What is Waste to Energy Federal law recognizes Waste to Energy as renewable. 22+ states and growing have WtE in their RPS CES was in a stand alone bill that was rejected by the Senate two years in a row WtE was placed into this bill Placed into SB13-252 to update CO RPS

4. 4 What is Waste to Energy 3 main types of Waste to Energy exists Plasma Extremely high temperature 7,000 to 25,000 degrees Fahrenheit Vaporizes everything and can handle hazardous waste Best on large MW production based on plant costs

5. 5 What is Waste to Energy 3 main types of Waste to Energy exists (cont) Incineration Uses oxygen and open flame to burn trash Most common in USA Must scrub dioxins and other items caused by the oxygen component in the process

6. 6 What is Waste to Energy 3 main types of Waste to Energy exists (cont) Pyrolysis Indirect heating of waste stream Oxygen starved to prevent dioxins from forming Operates at 700 to 1400 degrees Fahrenheit CES approach on WtE

7. 7 Typical Waste to Energy Incineration Creative Energy Systems Proprietary Data Incineration is NOT similar to Pyrolysis Production of syngas or heat is different Incineration uses oxygen and contacts MSW

8. 8 Environmental and Recycling Concerns Waste to Energy plants provide the best recycling program available Is a revenue source for the plant Most cost effective approach to acquiring the recyclables Less fossil fuel being burned collecting the recyclables Less green house gas created by trucks Captures all the waste thrown into trash now Sorts out metals etc. from products that would otherwise be thrown out. Ex. Metal in box spring is captured

9. 9 Environmental and Recycling Concerns Waste to Energy plants provide the best recycling program available (cont) Captures hazardous material that would be buried in landfill Prevents Methane gas from being created and released to atmosphere EPA site shows 89,000 carbon credits being generated on a 10 MWe pyrolysis based plant Department of Energy with EPA evaluated pyrolysis plant and it met all Federal permit requirements

10. 10 Summary Effective method to deal with USA waste stream problems Creates jobs in local rural communities About 60 jobs per 10 MW facility Waste to Energy is BASE power vice peak power of wind and solar Power companies can relay on solid production regardless of environmental conditions Market competitive price point with NO government subsidies Creative Energy Systems Proprietary Data
