Waste2Tricity develops, funds and supports waste-to-energy (EfW) projects that integrate plasma gasification with internal combustion engines and gas turbines, and aims to deploy AFC Energy fuel cell technology to boost net electricity output. The company is progressing a first project, the proposed Bilsthorpe Energy Centre (BEC) on land provided by partner Peel Holdings, and is completing the Concept Design Study phase. W2T has established Waste2Tricity International (Thailand) Ltd to pursue partnerships with Thai companies, government departments, waste operators and landowners and is running a pilot strategy in Thailand to create regional subsidiaries. The firm partners with Alter NRG Westinghouse as its primary front-end plasma gasification supplier and targets early large-scale deployment of AFC Energy fuel cells to increase plant output by up to 50% versus competing systems. Waste2Tricity positions itself for aggressive international expansion, investigating additional UK sites and building a pipeline of projects across Europe and Asia. The company’s shareholders include Ervington Investments, Age of Reason Foundation and Eturab. Waste2Tricity is a British structured waste solutions provider established in 2009 that works with clients and partners to develop, fund and support EfW deployment projects. Its approach integrates proven plasma gasification technology with internal combustion engines and gas turbines, and it plans to implement AFC Energy’s alkaline fuel cells alongside Alter NRG’s plasma gasification. The company describes this unique combination as delivering significant environmental and cost benefits versus other electricity generation methods. Waste2Tricity has longstanding relationships with AFC Energy and Alter NRG and references those technologies as central to its systems.
