¹ Selected reference values from Directive 2010/75/EU, Annex VI, Part 3. Applicability, averaging periods, dry-gas basis and oxygen correction differ. Metals are assessed as the specified sums, not individually. NOx requires NO₂-equivalent aggregation of NO and NO₂. No compliance conclusion can be drawn from this table.

02 / Waste-to-Energy

From residual waste.
To reliable power.

A modular waste-to-energy project: municipal waste sorting, refuse-derived fuel production and
gasification-based electricity generation, developed by ABEX Green Energy.

Design targets, not an operating record. Capacity, throughput and fuel balance will be reconciled in the full engineering design.

01 / Waste sorting

Recover materials. Prepare residual waste for energy.

The proposed sorting stations separate recoverable materials from municipal waste and prepare the combustible residual fraction as fuel for the power plant.

Sorting station building with ABEX Green Energy signage and process equipment
01 · RECEIVE

Mixed waste arrives

Municipal waste from local towns is delivered to the station.

02 · SORT

Mechanical sorting

The waste stream is sorted by size, density and material.

03 · SEPARATE

Recyclables removed

Recyclables and inert material are separated and sent on.

04 · PREPARE

Fuel is made

The combustible fraction becomes refuse-derived fuel (RDF) at 8–15 MJ/kg.

02 / How the plant works

Local fuel. Round-the-clock power.

The fuel prepared at the sorting station is converted into gas, and the gas into electricity: a continuous process that runs day and night, independent of weather.

1

Refuse-derived fuel

The fuel specification will define calorific value, moisture and contaminants. Classification and testing are to be confirmed during engineering.

2

Gasification

In a low-oxygen reactor the fuel is converted into a combustible gas rather than burned directly. Ash is collected for treatment.

3

Electricity

The gas feeds power generation units. The design target is up to 10 MW of installed electrical capacity; net output, availability and grid connection are subject to engineering.

The project materials reference Bulgarian utility model BG № 4983 U1 for gasification and ash vitrification. Technical scope and rights are subject to verification.

Technical parameters ↓
03 / Environment and safety

Emission control is part of the design.

The project materials include indicative flue-gas results. The laboratory report and reference conditions are still required before compliance can be assessed.

Controlled gasification

Gasification, gas cleaning and controlled energy recovery are designed as one process. Performance must be verified for the selected fuel and operating conditions.

Residuals and environmental assessment

Potential climate benefits require a lifecycle assessment. Ash treatment and vitrification are later-stage options, subject to full technical design and testing.

04 / Where it works

Reliable supply. Where it is needed.

The model fits regions where three things coincide: a power system losing baseload capacity, residual waste that needs a destination other than landfill, and an industrial site with a grid connection.

POWER SYSTEM

Managed decline of baseload capacity

A modular, dispatchable plant can complement solar and wind where dependable capacity is needed. Availability and maintenance must be included in the energy plan.

WASTE

A destination for residual waste

A sorting station can provide a local route for residual municipal waste after recovery of recyclable materials. Supply, acceptance criteria and permits need to be agreed.

SITE AND LOGISTICS

Industrial site with grid access

An existing industrial site or former power plant with a grid connection, and road, rail or river access to regional fuel suppliers. Brownfield sites are preferred.

05 / Technology

Gasification technology.
Modular by design.

The plant is assembled from factory-built modules, each under 5 MW, so the same configuration can be repeated in other regions.

Technology owner: ABEX-Limited.Patented technology.
About the technology

The proposed RDF feed range is 8–15 MJ/kg. Any use of tyre-derived fuel requires an agreed blending specification, fuel testing and the applicable permits.

Emissions assessmentSubject to validated testing and site-specific permits

Technical parameters are subject to engineering validation and are confirmed in response to a qualified enquiry.

06 / Applications

Baseload that fits around other businesses.

The plant generates electricity continuously and, with waste-heat recovery, usable heat. That profile complements three kinds of energy user.

SOLAR GENERATION

Flattens daily and seasonal peaks

Solar output peaks at midday and falls away in the evening and in winter. Round-the-clock generation fills those gaps, so a combined portfolio delivers a flatter profile to the grid and to long-term power contracts.

What the plant adds: 24/7 baseload · firming of the solar curve

DATA CENTRES

Power and cooling from one site

Data centres need uninterrupted electricity and large cooling loads. The plant supplies baseload power on site and, with waste-heat recovery, heat that can drive absorption chillers, reducing the electricity spent on cooling.

What the plant adds: electricity 24/7 · heat for absorption cooling

MUNICIPALITIES

Local waste, local power

Waste collected in the region becomes electricity for municipal consumers: street lighting, public buildings, water and wastewater utilities. The sorting station and the plant can be repeated in other towns.

What the plant adds: electricity for municipal needs · heat supply

Heat-based applications depend on waste-heat recovery, which follows the full technical design. Electricity supply is available from the start of power generation.
