E3i to Construct an E3i BioRefinery in Egypt

The Minister of Environment discusses with one American company the implementation of a project to convert waste to biofuel in Fayoum Governorate.

Dr. Yasmine Fouad, Minister of Environment met with representatives of Energy3i, American company to discuss the possibility of executing a project to convert waste to biofuel in Fayoum, as the minister heard a presentation on project objectives and technology used to produce biofuel from waste and derived products Cal hydrogen and graphene that can be utilized in a number of other industries.

Dr. Yasmine Fouad emphasized that Egypt is currently implementing a new solid waste management system with a different vision that depends on making the most of solid waste to minimize the rejects buried in health landlords, helping to achieve the idea of revolving economy And sustainable development.

The minister explained that the state has taken the necessary infrastructure for the implementation of the new system within the first program of the system, which includes the establishment of landfills, intermediaries and proper recycling mechanisms, while the second program of the system includes the preparation of operating contracts. For transportation and street hygiene collection operations, operation of landfills and stations, construction of recycling and processing plants, the third program includes technical and institutional support and community participation, whether by enacting regulated laws and involving the private sector, civil society and the informal sector of the system And raising community awareness.

For his part, the representative of the American company emphasized that this project comes as part of the company's quest to create projects that improve the environment and reduce carbon, explaining that the project will achieve a number of benefits that serve the community by days, including contributing to elevating hygiene, Created a green funding mechanism that will return to communities to participate in their waste with a material return enables them to create more other green projects.

The project alongside biodiesel and alternative fuel would result in products that could be used for composting in agriculture and would be rich in graphene which is involved in many other industries such as plastic, construction and construction production.

The end of the meeting, it was agreed that the company would submit a proposed schedule to start and finish the project, following the company's representatives meeting Mr. Governor Fayoum to discuss all dimensions of the project and visit the proposed implementation site.

E3i to Partner with RPLN to Construct the First Waste to Diesel Plant in the Dominican Republic using the E3i BioRefinery®

The Dominican Government and Ridge Partners Linea Noroeste SA (RPLN) have signed the definitive contract for the installation of a plant which processes Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) into Combustible diesel.

The plant will accept MSW without the need for separation and classification due to the use of cutting edge automated technology which effectively separates, classifies and conditions household waste. The system recovers recyclables such as metal, glass, aluminum, and hdpe plastics while retaining the material such as organic material, paper and cardboard. The RPLN process is unique in that is also includes up to 25% plastics which are so common in MSW and litter the country.

All of the received MSW is processed daily and the system is cleaned. The material that exits the MSW processing system is made into inert, odorless pellets using state of the art German technology. The pellets can be easily stored.

The pellets are converted into Renewable Synthetic Diesel fuel that is of the highest quality. The diesel produced is chemically identical to petroleum diesel and is ultra low sulfur diesel which is sold as Gasoil Optimo in the Dominican Republic.

The process by which the pellets are converted to fuel is Pyrolysis, which utilizes very high temperatures of 1100 degrees centigrade. The pyrolysis breaks the molecules apart into hydrogen and syngas which is then cooled and condensed into liquid fuel.

In addition to diesel fuel, the plant will produce organic compost, wood vinegar and biochar. These products are useful in agriculture as fertilizer, organic fungicides, soil amendments and have value in other areas.

The plant will cost $290,000,000 USD to install. RPLN is providing all of the capital required to build and operate the Project. The Dominican government is not required to finance the project or guarantee the cost in any way.

The project will create 220 new jobs of many skill levels in Linea Noroeste. Direct economic impact from salaries will be in the range of $191,000,000 DOP per year. Each job created will support 2.88 additional jobs in the economy and the tertiary economic impact of the plant will be in excess of $900,000,000 DOP per year.

100% of the fuel produced by the plant is being purchased for use in England. The fuel will be marketed as "Dominican Diesel" and will benefit the nations balance of trade. Like Dominican cigars, this Dominican Diesel will be produced in the country and enjoyed by people all over the world.
