Proton Power, Inc. (PPI) has entered a joint venture with CarbonSweep and Loesche Energy Systems under the Low Carbon Emissions Technologies (LC-EMT) brand to offer a clean, efficient, and cost-effective answer to the global waste issue.
One of the greatest challenges facing the world today is the accumulation of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) with no or low sustainable disposal options. As landfills around the globe fill to capacity and beyond, the environmental and economic problems they create for our communities multiply. Moral and legal obligation to find environmentally acceptable ways to deal with the world’s MSW have put tremendous pressure on the waste industry and local jurisdictions - but it’s not a simple problem to solve.
LC-EMT develops MSW-to-diesel biorefineries on a total turnkey basis, centered around PPI’s fuel production technologies. By assembling a world-class team to build, own, and operate these biorefineries, LC-EMT guarantees that they will perform as expected and provide unprecedented decarbonization benefits. LC-EMT’s team also brings the experience and knowledge needed to develop financially viable projects through long-term MSW supply and diesel offtake agreements and the procurement of carbon credits, ensuring predictable returns to investors.
Dealing with MSW as a feedstock for diesel production is a challenge, giventhe variability in volume and types of waste produced by different communities. CarbonSweep’s principals have decades of experience in waste management, leading to development of the perfect MSW-derived feedstock for PPI’s fuel production process. LC-EMT employs a proprietary analyzer technology to measure and monitor the quality of the feedstock to optimize the performance of PPI’s production modules. In addition, LC-EMT incorporates a proprietary diesel refining technology to bring PPI’s raw diesel into compliance with global ASTM 975 and EN-590 standards.
In sum, LC-EMT is positioned to develop facilities that make the most sense for the needs of communities facing waste accumulation issues around the globe, without disrupting the lives of their residents. The result is a platform of technologies that turns a perpetual problem into a renewable solution – safely, reliably, economically, and sustainably.
