Market Performance in the United Kingdom
There is an ever increasing emphasis on Renewable Energy in the United Kingdom as economic and political pressure increases to reduce its dependency on imported fuels.

The Bedminster BioEnergy Technology separates the biodegradable fraction of mixed municipal or commercial wastes and then economically and safely converts it into green, carbon-neutral energy.

Recent announcements from the UK Government indicate that the Bedminster BioEnergy Technology will be eligible for double subsidy under the Renewables Obligation.

In common with the rest of the European Union, the UK is also faced with the Landfill Directive that requires the diversion of biodegradable municipal waste from landfill. The UK has a four year derogation from the landfill diversion targets and the first milestone of 2010 is rapidly approaching – particularly when the timescales required for competitive tendering, planning and construction are taken into account.

• it is a proven solution and is modular allowing flexibility in its application;
• it achieves a uniquely efficient separation of organics – the very fraction that has to be diverted under the Landfill Directive;
• the organic fraction is very pure leading to a range of applications to ensure its diversion.
• the BioEnergy configuration produces electricity which is eligible for enhanced payments under the Renewables Obligation;
• the BioEnergy is CO2 neutral and can be traded;
• the technology is able to treat mixed and source segregated wastes equally, therefore it does not undermine recycling initiatives;
• unlike mixed waste Refuse Derived Fuel which requires a third party combustion solution, the Bedminster BioEnergy Solution is delivered in total on a single site. the Bedminster BioEnergy Technology has a Carbon Footprint which saves CO₂ in significant quantities.

In summary, the Bedminster BioEnergy Technology offers a modular, proven solution to today’s environmental and legislative challenges, with positive performance in respect of diversion, renewable energy and CO₂ management.
