Eco project turning plastic waste into Energy & capturing CO2

[morda]

Updated 07/01/2022

After 5 years in the making I would like to introduce our project; Blend Energy

This project has created a continuous waste to energy system, focusing on mixed plastic waste.
To make this viable, this system has a CO2 capture system.
All automation was designed from the ground up using open source technology to significantly reduce costs and reliance on expensive PLCs

Blend Energy has been posted here as it has been fully funded by my bitcoin gains

A crowdfunding app on Btcpay server has been setup to raise funds to continue this project, naturally you can donate via lightening payment.

The Uniqueness of Blend Energy

After years of tackling human trash; I came to a conclusion that one of the biggest hurdles to solving this problem is the centralised nature of waste infrastructure. By the time your garbage is collected, transported and sorted - all value has been lost making recycling highly cost prohibitive.

Instead of transporting your trash, one will be able to throw it into our Unit X, specifically plastic waste, and in return one may be rewarded Satoshis for the electricity generated and the CO2 captured.

Each Unit X can service up to 200 households


Achievements to Date

Working prototype of Unit X
Developed CO2 Capture System
Inhouse open source automation

Goals and Plans

Plans to further refine our prototype machine and seek EPA approval to build a final version that can be placed in public for all to use
The first jurisdictions we aim to operate in will be the EU, UK & Israel
Our vision is to make waste utilisation as ubiquitous as driving a car

Whilst this is a great idea and an admirable challenge you’ve set for yourself, I think you’re best off going along the more traditional ways of raising money.
If you area a registered charity, companies can get tax breaks/exemptions for donating to your cause. Accepting donations in FIAT also gives you a greater pool of donators/investors (although investing will depend on whether you’re a for-profit organisation, NGO/Charity or social enterprise).

I would suggest doing some research on using superworms to eat styrofoam. Apparently they subsist on it happily and consume it very fast. I don't know if the worms are then toxic or what, but this seems like an area worthy of research within a smaller budget.

This will have to be a for profit venture otherwise i can't expand it and take it further, fortunately electricity ain't cheap around here so there is good margins. Just worried traditional investors would eat away at most the profits in return for funds hence i was considering crypto funding. But you may be right

unfortunately it don't sound like the worms would be profitable, as much as i'm doing it for the eco reasons, unless its profitable it wont make a dent in reducing waste as i cant expand it further

I'm sick of all our pollution around the world so i have decided to dedicate my life to treating waste and turning it into energy, I'v been working on various projects past year treating organic and inorganic waste. I concluded it be easiest to start off with plastic waste via pyrolysis I have good understanding of the technical aspects being an engineer however I will need to raise funds.

The project will be converting up to 30ton/day of plastic waste into electricity

How is best to do this?

Fund raise an ICO? (create another shitcoin)
Fund raise via BTC?

Any advice would be really appreciated I'v been using my crypto gains past year to fund my own research but it wont be enough to build a sizeable plant.

turning waste into energy is nothing great recycling is usually better, there are plenty of alternative ways to create energy, burning garbage usually creates a ton of toxins, no one knows what form they are.

you misunderstand it, i'm not directly burning garbage, i thermally break down plastics into diesel and gas, clean its constituents and then cleanly burn it in a generator, next step would be to utilise carbon capture and pump the flue gases underground meaning 0 pollution

otherwise you are throwing these plastics into the oceans and digging them into the ground polluting water and soil and at the same time digging out more fossil fuels from the ground to produce the same energy you are losing in those plastics.

there's only so much wind and solar can achieve, the world needs a combination of many technologies to become pollution free

also to add there is a limit on what types of plastics are recyclable and the amount of times you can recycle them.

I and every normal people who cares about nature likes your idea but please tell me, even if you create ICO, why will someone fund rise an ICO? Or why will someone send bitcoins? This is something goverment has to care and I highly believe your only and best bet is to contact companies which will fund you or contact mayor’s office.
I appreciate if you have really used your funds for this kind project.

out of plastics its possible to make oil and then plastic again,

energywise this is something awesome https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NO-fKDY7f9s

iv been brainstorming this and you know I can create a coin and invest 10% of the electricty profits every year to pump it and also reward the coin to people who seperate plastics and deliver it to a local collection facility, seperating waste can go a long way.

iv been discussing to unlock local state funds and they don't seem to give a Damm, that's when I realized if you want to do something you got to do it yourself, government funds coal burning power stations better than many environmental projects at least over here that's the case. coal stations are bigger pollutants than nuclear ironicaly enough

can't wait for fusion but as sexy as it may seem we are many decades away from it meanwhile plastics will still be floating about the oceans but you are right instead of burning the pyrolyses oil we can produce plastics from them too.

sooner or later the fusion researchers will create their own ico. it would be quite a popular coin as all over the world there is support for it comming this was my post nr. 4k

[morda]

until fusion comes about the planet would have warmed by over 5c and we will be in chaos
 and it won't clean the plastic out the oceans and soil

You never know how you might find a way for them to help do the work for you...

first, I agree with this
second, I also agree with the idea of the project. it is a great idea to convert plastic waste into electricity. indeed, electricity is becoming main priority in many people life especially in this sophisticated era. moreover, the usage of plastic in daily life, however, is like not avoidable.

[Vod]

The project will be converting up to 30ton/day of plastic waste into electricity

How is best to do this?

Start out by converting 1kg/day.

Prove your concept first, and investors will contact you.

Have you heard about swachhcoin? Did anyone knows how amazing swacchcoin platform is? Okay let me explain,
Swachhcoin is a non profit organization that will make the existing waste management industries as efficient,possible, capable for them to become technologically and otherwise be able to tackle the imminent waste management crisis, swachhcoin already have a solution on our most common problem that the world faces at the moment, swachhcoin let's you earn swachh #tokens by using waste, this is why swachhcoin is amazing!

Eco-friendly projects should be massively supported. It is good to think about how we can mitigate the hazards of human activities, and possibly make it profitable. I have a project which I also generated energy from waste, It was highly applauded by professors and academicians. Now the project is mute due to lack of finance. I look forward to meeting like-minded persons and sponsors in order to expand my idea and make the project a reality. Though currently, I am promoting ''Organicco'', a project with an already existing project working to produce organic products from undesirable organic materials.

[TWitts]

There are quite few projects aiming and striving for something similar, see for example www. earthledger . one
Collaboration is key here.

@OP
You understand then that the reason coal and gas is funded and idealized the way it is, is because next to nuclear and hydro, they are capable providing the large loads to the grid. They also provide the best frequency, MVAR, and line voltage support. I work at a gas facility myself. The renewables aren't a valid option for the entire grid. Not in the way that the grid is set up now. Now, if the United States were to have localized grids that were independent, then that would be a far different story.

As for your project, it sounds interesting and I wouldn't mind working alongside you, one way or another.

This should how be done first because proving out your concept first and let the community publicly see on how the project works then the rest would follow.
Then thats the time on how op will accept the funding either on creating another shitcoin  or accepting thru BTC deposits. Sometimes making out concepts is really very
easy but when the time comes on how to apply it would be the hardest part.

[Resa02]

Oh.. Have the same concept on swachhcoin.. You can turn waste into swachh tokens..
Swachhcoin will be developing an ecosystem that can push people to be aware of their waste so they can understand what their role and responsibility.
 Swachhcoin will make the existing waste management industries as efficient and capable for them to become technologically and otherwise able to tackle the imminent waste management crisis.
