SO HOW DO WE GET OUT OF THIS MESS?
IT STARTS WITH A FRESH APPROACH TO AN OLD PROBLEM
We want to improve our communities, to protect the environment, and to find a better solution to the problems facing waste management. Technology with a purpose, not just technology for technology’s sake.
We looked at the problem without any pre-conceived notions of how it should look. We use a multi-disciplinary approach, drawing from our experiences in engineering, mining, agriculture, retail, construction, industrial pumps, sales, and technology. Having experience in many varied industries has realized the similarities and the overlap between industries and technologies.
TECHNOLOGY IS KEY
Turning waste into energy using thermo-chemical processes, with no need to reduce the moisture content of the waste. Our solution does not burn the waste, it is not incineration, gasification or pyrolysis.
A VDQ-NRG waste repurposing facility integrates several technologies including Hydrothermal Liquefaction (HTL) and Electro-Depolymerization. End products include high-grade distillate, syngas, bio-crude oil, carbon black and other by-products. Water can be reclaimed and utilized as necessary.
PROGRESSIVE THINKING TURNS WASTE INTO ENERGY
Why re-invent the wheel? There are many existing technologies and systems that can be effectively paired with our technology to make a sustainable and effective waste reprocessing facility. Work smarter, not harder. Strategic partnerships are key. No single technology or solution is going to work efficiently, properly and sustainably to solve the waste problem. We use a collaborative and cooperative approach.
Having communities as partners ensures value for everyone. Partner cities will benefit from revenue, jobs and a reduction in greenhouse gases. The needs of the customers and end users have been considered throughout all aspects.
A compact and unobtrusive footprint allows the facility to locate in industrial areas in a warehouse structure.
DIVERT 90% OF LANDFILL WASTE
A VDQ-NRG waste reprocessing facility can divert and process up to 90% of landfill waste.
Including: diapers, Styrofoam, plastic, micro-plastics, food containers, organic waste, food waste, and COVID contaminated masks and gloves.
This solution extends the life of existing landfills. Landfills are outdated and they are filling up. There is a better solution to landfills. People have been using landfills for thousands of years and the technology is not any different today than it was for our ancestors in caves. We throw our waste into a hole believing that if it is out of sight, it is out of mind.
POWERING THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY
Our throw-away society is not sustainable. Repurposing and returning materials for use is essential. The concept of a circular economy was put forward to end the scarcity of materials on earth. A circular economy is about effectively recovering the materials within the products we throw away, then bringing them back as components to be used efficiently in our industrial society.
VDQ-NRG waste reprocessing facilities contribute viable materials back to the circular economy. The process produces fuel energy, electricity and valuable industrial products. VDQ-NRG will utilize innovative process technologies for these value-added products to stay competitive and increase profitability.
RESPONSIBILITY
The VDQ-NRG solution is sustainable in many ways:
Environment, Economic, Social, Financial, Energy
This section is about being sustainable, but responsibility is more encompassing of our vision. We truly believe that our solution can protect the environment and improve communities and solve the waste problem. The responsible solution values all aspects of sustainability.
Greenhouse Gas reduction. Positive energy balance. Waste does not need dried before processing. Streamlines waste collection, less trucking, shorter trucking distances. Extends the life of current landfills. No need to export recycling or waste. Produces valuable products that can be repurposed. Shared revenue model. Social responsibility. Profitable financial plan.
