“Glycerine makes renewable CHP practical, reliable and mainstream,” said Aquafuel CEO Paul Day, “The emissions are remarkably low and the fuel is non-toxic, biodegradable and non-flammable – perfect for commercial premises.”
The first of Aquafuel’s systems is already in place, and it’s hoped organisations such as supermarkets and hospitals using fossil-fuelled heat and power systems will benefit from the new technology. For every nine barrels of biodiesel produced, one barrel of glycerine is produced, so there is plenty available. The new technology also allows consumers to switch between several renewable by-products that have clean fuel potential, like cooking oil and tallow.
“We are delighted to have received this recognition from the Renewable Energy Association and are excited to see our technology enter the mass market over the next twelve months,” said Day.
