The Future Potential of Inetec's Biomass Fuel
Every country produces vast quantities of waste which is a valuable source of fuel. The quantities look set to increase rapidly over the next millennium as we move towards a convenience food culture and as populations rise. The ability to convert this waste into energy means a large leap forward is occurring in the future of energy development. It also means that a reduction in costs will occur for these utilising these channels.
Imagine a world where household waste could be reprocessed to generate electricity for the very town which generated it. A study in 2002 showed that UK households produce 30 millions tonnes of waste a year. This figure is estimated to rise at around 3% per year due to buyer changes in convenience foods and pre-packaged goods. Of this waste 75% still currently goes to landfill sites and although measures are being taken to reduce this a vast percentage of this waste could be used for energy creation.
