1. How does the GDEPL Technology work?
The GDEPL Technology utilizes the Tri Fusion Reactor Gasifier to convert various types of waste, including legacy landfill waste, municipal solid waste, and plastic waste, into valuable byproducts such as diesel, biochar, green coal, and more. The process involves a combination of dehydration, gasification, and pyrolysis to efficiently process waste with near-zero emissions and no residual landfill.
2. What is the difference between Gasification and Incineration?
Gasification is a process that converts waste materials into syngas (synthetic gas) through high-temperature reactions in a low-oxygen environment. This syngas can be used for electricity generation or as a fuel.
Incineration, on the other hand, involves burning waste in the presence of oxygen, which leads to the direct release of CO2 and other pollutants. Gasification is more environmentally friendly and energy-efficient than incineration.
