Fact! The release of carbon when burning fossil fuels in the power generation industry is widely recognised to be a major contributor towards rising levels of environmental pollution. The wider use of renewables to offset this challenge is therefore of growing importance ........ Biomass feedstock can be sourced in both rural and urban areas - using organic material presently going to waste or landfill sites - while marginal land can be used to cultivate dedicated energy crops and provide sustainable employment critical to the upliftment of local economies.

Fact! As a matter of urgency we are obliged to move towards a more energy-sustainable regime and limit our reliance on fossil fuel as the sole supplier of energy to regional grids. The promotion of renewable energy and wider encouragement of Independent Power Providers (IPP's) pursuing energy efficiency in more holistic and inclusive ways will ensure the slide towards environmental degradation is halted. Providing cleaner energy as an infrastructural imperative will also contribute directly towards improving health benefits among both our rural and rapidly growing urban communities............. by offering a cheaper alternative to the use of wood, coal or gas for heating and cooking purposes.

Fact! We do not use water in the generation process, a significant advantage in modern economies as the demand for this resource continues to rise for this dominishing resource. We are also closely associated with the introduction of leading ADsorption chiller technology as a means of supplying cost-effective cooling options as part of the tri-gen generation model we promote. For this reason to the local market - targeting applications across markets in general industry, energy and the HVAC related sector of the built environment. As a water demand management tool, the simplicity of ADsorption chilling has no equal - offering modular, scalable and cost-effective low energy solutions to any client with a steam supplied application - and thereby reducing water-use figures substantially.

Life beyond fossil fuel ........................ why green power is an opportunity post-Brexit UK cannot miss


Operating as an IPP in the renewable energy space, we at BossEnergy pride ourselves on having the necessary EPC skills, along with the drive and commitment to offer grid-independent energy solutions using our - internationally acclaimed - version of the Imbert Downdraft Gasifier to deliver technology-appropriate solutions............tailored to meet the specific socio-economic, environmental and climate-related imperatives of many under-served regions across the UK landscape.


Biomass supplied Power Generation
  • All forms of agri-residue can provide tri-gen power, using the biomass gasification process

  • Less than 50% of any commercial timber plantation is recovered, the balance is left in the field or as sawmill residue

  • Urban areas supply large quantities of biomass..............presently being dumped at landfill sites

  • Rural Uk has significant underutilised agricultural potential, dedicated energy crops can provide a sustainable income stream

  • Power can be generated wherever there is access to biomass feedstock

  • High-dispatchability baseload generation profile..............far superior to that of intermittent suppliers like Solar and Wind

  • We celebrate the contribution of Big Wind and Big Solar, but there is only one leader in Renewable Energy.............Big Biomass, as researched by the World Bioenergy Association


Distributed Generation
  • This is electricity generation which is connected to the local distribution network rather than the high voltage transmission network

  • Ideal for smaller off-grid installations from 2MW to 20MW that rely on renewable inputs for feedstock.........and provide up to 20 jobs per MW

  • Units are ideally sited close to a primary consumer with the surplus power being fed back into the local grid

  • Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plants, like biomass supplied Gasifiers, can meet both electrical and thermal energy requirements

  • Thermal energy can not only off-set the electrical energy presently used for hot water and space heating..........but do so at 50% of the cost

  • Metros and Municipalities can secure future revenue streams from energy supply...............WE SUPPLY ELECTRICITY AT SECTOR PARITY TARIFFS

  • Our technology promotes enterprise clusters and the advancement of SME's in smaller communities.......... along with meeting aspirations for speedy, affordable local service delivery

  • Embedded generation plants deliver significant efficiencies per unit of energy produced..............while providing grid relief for the national utility

  • The positive role that DERs (Distributed Energy Resources) can play in the success of any proposed Utility of the Future is now being recognised across the Global Energy Sector

  • The International Energy Agency has recently released the World Energy Outlook 2018........... clearly identifying the wider use of renewables as a critical step towards managing the energy flexibility every nation needs to secure economic growth into the future. We are also closely associated with the introduction of leading ADsorption chiller technology

Gasification based Embedded Generation has the following advantages

It increases energy efficiency by optimising available resources

It contributes to ensuring security of supply
  • Agri-residue beneficiation adds sustainable - baseload - capacity to the national electricity base

  • Brings this capacity online in a significantly reduced time-frame

  • Increases reliability and quality of supply to the end user

  • Customer service is superior compared to the centralised production model

  • Speedy roll out of projects can ease peak demand requirements and contribute towards grid alleviation nationally

  • Perfectly suited for servicing the rollout of charging stations to meet the needs of a rapidly growing Electric Vehicle market

It is a vehicle for promoting private sector participation in power generation
  • Private sector resources can be mobilised to fund and operate the plants.........sourcing local partners is a core component of our business model, leveraging the range of tax efficient routes now available under present UK legislation

  • Sustainable jobs throughout the value chain..............feedstock preparation, generation, maintenance and support

  • Industries embracing renewable energy as part of their brand will benefit from the 'halo' effect...............while future-proofing their energy supply

  • Further revenue opportunities are available in the Carbon Emissions Trading space, as large carbon emitters seek to mitigate their exposure to this overhead via off-set agreements with renewable energy generators

It reduces the environmental impact of energy production
  • Future environmental liabilities associated with fossil fuel use are mitigated

  • Clean burning gasification reduces the production of greenhouse gases to a minimum

  • Local input and technology reduces the carbon footprint of the construction envelope

  • Process of overcoming Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) hurdles is streamlined

  • Health benefits will accrue to communities as they move away from using wood/coal/gas as a primary fuel for cooking and heating


Conclusion

The benefits of using Gasification Technology are significant
  • State-of-the-art gasification technology ...............a carbon neutral process with proven world class qualities

  • Environmentally compliant operation with minimal environmental impact

  • NO WATER REQUIRED to generate electricity..............an important advantage in any modern economy

  • Distributed Generation..............plants can be sited where energy is required and managed independently of the national grid

  • BASELOAD ENERGY SUPPLY..............startup/shutdown procedures take around 20 minutes, units easily re-configured to follow any demand pattern

  • CHP qualities of the technology raise plant efficiency to over 80% ..............ideal for kiln type applications, district heating and tunnel farmers

  • ADsorption Chillers can offer significant cost savings......low energy, low maintenance with a non-toxic refrigeration process - 1 to 3000RT capacity

  • Employment creation..............15 to 20 sustainable jobs for every MW generated - downstream industries act as a jobs multiplier
