The Energy Company Ltd ("ECL"

To demonstrate the ability to carry out an economic and technical feasibility study of a proposed

small-scale Energy gasification process.

BRIEF DESCRTPTION OF ASSESSMENT:

The Energy Company Ltd ("ECL") is a private renewable energy company. Its chosen technology is gasification and a single gasifier can gasify 1.5 tonnes of pelletized RDF an hour. Two of the

marketable outputs of the process are electricity and heat: The renewable power generation is for grid

exporl and the heat production for use on its adjoining waste management site.

ECL are concemed to maximise energy generation through correct specification of the RDF as possible is generated from the RDF. Explain whal factors need to be considered to ensure optimum

Calorific Value (CV) of the RDF.

To this end, yon are asked to produce a brieftechnical report that includes - an assessment of:the technical feasibility of the process, the production of energy and how the energy could be used/sold. - the econornic viability of such a scheme including any supporl mechanisms which may be available from the Government - an environmental assessment discussing how much CO2 emissions can be reduced together rvith any

other relevant environmental issues.

LEARNING OUTCOMES FOR THE ASSESSMENT

Develop an understanding of the key economic, and technical issues related to generating energy from AD.

Develop ability to analyse both facts provided and research any fufiher necessary information to inform your decisions

Deveiop skills in the production of a concise client report
