The Emissions
Rethinking Emissions
Conventional waste-to-energy facilities focus on treating emissions before they are released to the atmosphere.
Phaseon is being developed around a different philosophy.
Where practical, emissions are treated as resources to be recovered rather than waste streams to be discharged.
Recovering Value
The Phaseon process is being developed to recover carbon dioxide for permanent atmospheric carbon removal while also capturing recoverable heat for reuse within the wider energy system.
Rather than allowing valuable resources to leave the process, the objective is to recover and utilise them wherever practical.
Returning Only What Nature Intended
Air is comprised primarily of nitrogen and oxygen.
After energy recovery and resource capture, the remaining gases are intended to consist predominantly of these naturally occurring atmospheric components.
By recovering carbon dioxide and useful process heat, the objective is to minimise the release of recoverable resources while returning primarily nitrogen and oxygen to the atmosphere.
A Different Approach
The objective is not simply to reduce emissions.
It is to recover value from them.
By viewing emissions as another recoverable resource stream, Phaseon extends the principles of resource recovery beyond solid waste to include carbon, energy and heat that would otherwise be lost.
