Super Clean Energy from Waste

This inspiration came from the Creator when He told us there is a clean and easily digestible drink that comes out of the stomachs of cattle, between dung and blood, namely milk (Qur’an 16:66).

When this inspiration is applied to the context of energy, the result is more or less like the illustration below. We have made a hydrogen production machine with raw materials from waste, about 80% of the reactors we have built. InshaAllah it will not be difficult to finish the remaining 20%.

The way it works is that garbage or organic waste is heated in the range of 370 C, so it turns into charcoal. Charcoal is used for gasification reactor feedstock, at peak temperatures in the range of 1100 C the peak result is syngas.

Waste heat from this process is used again for producing charcoal from waste or subsequent organic waste. So that only for the first process this system requires charcoal input from outside the system. In the next process, the only input is only organic waste.

Syngas output from the first reactor can be directly used for power generation or industrial raw materials.

However, what is very interesting is using this syngas as a feedstock for the production of Bio-Hydrogen, which is super clean energy because the waste combustion is in the form of water.

For this we need a membrane reactor to separate Bio-Hydrogen from CO, CO2 and CH4 — the gases that are present with the hydrogen in the syngas.

Because the reactor we have built is small in size, it is very possible that in the near future this super clean energy can be produced by households — as well as a solution for handling organic waste which is still a huge liability now!
