Waste to Energy - Cogeneration

Waste to Energy is the process of creating electricity from the burning of waste materials. It can produce electricity directly, or a fuel commodity such as methane, methanol, ethanol, or other synthetic fuels.

Waste to Energy (WTE)

In 2007, the US incinerated approximately 14% of its waste for energy, 88% of the resulting energy was used by electricity producers.

Energy Niche Examples – C02 Capture

The separation of CO2 from sources of emission or the atmosphere.

It can be done through post-combustion or pre-combustion techniques.

It can be stored permanently underground or transported by pipeline for industrial uses.

CO2 Capture and Sequestration

New and existing power and fuel plants can be retrofitted with CO2 capturing technologies.

Industry Cluster Team Guiding Principles

1. Industry cluster leadership and participation are key to generating outcomes

2. Work plan discipline, completing all elements of each phase, is key to achieving success

3. Trust and respect is required between companies and individuals

4. Collaboration is recognized as a key to achieving regional goals

5. Uncovered opportunities will have action teams assigned with leadership immediately

The Vital Economy Industry Cluster approach achieves measurable results through the recognition

and endorsement of key principles

Framework…Structured Fact-Based Analysis

1. Structured framework utilizes fact-based hypotheses• Followed by fact information gathering and analysis

• To prove or disprove the hypothesis

2. Defines the “boundaries” of an issue and breaks it down

into component parts

3. Eliminates blind alleys quickly, allowing you to focus on

the main issues

The VE approach uncovers opportunities for the industry clusters in SI.

It does not apply a “generic silver bullet” method typical of other processes.

Framework….Hypothesis Testing

1. A set of propositions based on facts already at hand, and intuition to

address issues, challenges, and industry and economic trends.

2. Propositions will be prioritized and evaluated through questions,

research and Quick and Dirty Testing (QDT)

Today, you as the core cluster team members will define the key initiatives of this cluster team as you determine the critical questions (hypotheses) for the research team to analyze.
