The waste-to-energy chain

  1. Shell separated at shelling is fed to an advanced shell burner
  2. Heat drives steaming and drying, displacing fossil fuel
  3. A boiler can raise steam for larger demand
  4. Avoided emissions are measured and verified for credits
Two-fold benefit

First, near-elimination of fuel cost; second, potential carbon-credit income. Both improve the ROI modelled in a project report.
