" a silver bullet.”


Any waste-to-energy plan, however, must overcome a major hurdle: the wild inconsistency of the waste stream. “Until you’ve demonstrated that you can handle it all, nobody’s interested,” Mr. Hart said. “I can understand it; they’ve heard similar promises before. We’ve got 150 cities, communities and businesses lined up to be Serial No. 2. Nobody wants to be No. 1.”

NOBODY, that is, except the Pentagon. The Defense Department is the country’s largest single consumer of energy, spending $15 billion a year just on fuel.

The appeal of Mr. Hart’s Pathfinder system is that it would produce fuel on site, eliminating the need to truck in fuel to dangerous military outposts. It would also reduce the need for trash-burning on bases, which creates pollution and noxious odors that have contributed to locals’ distaste for the American presence in Iraq and Afghanistan. As a result, United States forces in Afghanistan are working to close burn pits.

Ms. Burke added, “Something for military operations has to be really rugged, deployable, simple to use — all of those things.” Consultants and municipal sanitation officials who’ve looked at the FastOx say it meets those criteria.

“Waste is a problem,” Ms. Burke said. “So if we could dispose of waste and create energy at the same time, that would be a silver bullet.”

The United States, alone, creates over 250 million tons of waste each year. Landfills are exceeding their capacities all over the world. Not only that, they are major emitters of greenhouse gases and sources of harmful environment contamination. No one has found a way to cleanly and profitably convert all of this waste. Until now.

FastOx Gasification leverages the centuries-old blast furnace, as an efficient and scalable means to convert nearly any form of waste into renewable energy. This technology has several advantages:

Waste Flexibility
Because FastOx Gasifiers utilize pure oxygen injection, Sierra Energy can target complex segments of the waste market. These markets include hazardous waste, MSW, industrial waste, medical waste, and construction and demolition (C&D) waste.

Thorough Waste Conversion
FastOx Gasifiers can thoroughly convert waste without creating toxic products that require additional disposal.

Simple Design
The straightforward design of the blast furnace provides FastOx Gasifiers with several maintenance and operation advantages, including the lack of moving or complicated parts and minimal maintenance or down-time.

Massive Size and Scalability
FastOx Gasifiers can scale from 5 to well over 10,000 tons per day in a single unit.

Retrofit Opportunities
Sierra Energy can convert existing, idled blast furnaces into a commercially-viable FastOx Gasifier, saving millions in initial capital investment.

Global Support
FastOx Gasifiers can leverage the global support industry that already exists to service blast furnaces.
