New energy
We all know that energy – just like clean water and clean air – is a limited natural resource and that we are consuming it at a too high rate. Still, the world energy consumption keeps increasing. One of mankind's main challenges is to assure that everybody in the world can enjoy a comfortable life and yet keep the energy consumption at a sustainable level, i.e. make sure that future generations can live equally well as the current generation.
Fossil fuels today still are the most important energy source. The excessive consumption of fossil fuels is one of the most important causes of the greenhouse gas effect which threatens to create dramatic climate changes worldwide. Renewable energy is part of the answer.
Waterleau is developing installations that produce energy from biomass, one of the most important renewable energy sources. In addition, many waste streams also contain important quantities of biomass, which means that thermal waste treatment can help solve the energy problem.
WATERLEAU's technology allows us to produce NEW Energy out of wastewater, waste and biomass:
