NET ZERO PLATFORMS — FEEDSTOCKS

A material’s name does not establish its suitability. Composition, variability, preparation and supply certainty shape what a project can practically deliver.

MUNICIPAL & COMMERCIAL RESIDUALS
Assess the non-recyclable residual fraction and prepared RDF / SRF, with particular attention to variability and contaminants.
• Representative composition and sorting route
• Moisture, ash and calorific value
• Halogens, metals and committed volumes

INDUSTRIAL CARBON-BEARING RESIDUALS
Screen production residues and byproducts against their current treatment route and nearby product demand.
• Process origin and variability
• Carbon content and contaminants
• Supply continuity and preparation

BIOMASS & AGRICULTURAL RESIDUES
Consider qualified biogenic residues after competing uses, practical logistics and seasonal supply have been assessed.
• Origin and competing uses
• Seasonality, moisture and storage
• Transport and biogenic fraction

LEGACY LANDFILL MATERIAL
Begin with characterisation, excavation constraints and practical sorting. Historic deposits can contain a highly variable mixture of materials.
• Representative sampling programme
• Excavation and sorting requirements
• Hazardous fractions and legal responsibilities

COAL-BEARING RESIDUALS
Explore whether carbon-bearing legacy material presents a conversion opportunity alongside remediation needs. Ash, sulphur, moisture and preparation can dominate the decision.
• Carbon and mineral fractions
• Sulphur, metals and moisture
• Excavation, preparation and residue route

WASTE HYDROCARBONS & SPECIALIST STREAMS
Difficult streams require a defined handling and validation programme. Safety, contamination and the permitted treatment route come first.
• Material identity and safety data
• Handling and contaminant controls
• Trials, permits and acceptance criteria

ASH & MINERAL-RICH RESIDUES
Treat these as a specialist material-recovery or treatment question. The useful mineral route and required energy input need to be established separately.
• Mineralogy and leachability
• Recoverable constituents
• Energy input and product acceptance

Acceptance is subject to representative analysis, trials where needed, engineering and permits. Mineral-rich material requires a distinct assessment; it is not automatically an energy feedstock.
