Enesys successful in obtaining grant from Sustainability Victoria to develop a business plan for innovative Waste to Energy to Growing Demonstration Project at Melbourne Innovation Centre

MEDIA RELEASE 10.03.2020 For Immediate Release Creating Visionary Circular Economies: from Waste to Energy to Growing. Imagine being able to divert all our food waste away from landfill to create clean renewable energy but to also help us grow food sustainably? Victorian company Enesys has been awarded a grant administered by Sustainability Victoria's Waste to Energy Infrastructure Fund to develop a business case for a fully sustainable commercial precinct.  The project will demonstrate how commercial precincts and communities can create their own energy while growing local fresh, nutritious food, and recycling their waste. Australia has a waste problem. We spend more than $10.1 billion on food that ends up in our bins or as landfill. What if we could divert this waste and use it to create clean energy?   Extracting energy from organic waste via a process called Anaerobic Digestion is not a new technology. However, unlike burni...

Creating Circular Economies with Waste to Energy to Growing- A New Vision for a Sustainable Future

CONVERT WASTE TO ENERGY CREATE POWER, WATER, HEAT, AND NUTRIENTS FOR FOOD GROWTH INTEGRATE WITHIN SUSTAINABLE PRECINCTS FOR CIRCULAR ECONOMY BENEFITS Our waste can be used as a resource to create clean energy and the bi-products can help us grow food more sustainably. The bi-products of energy created from organic waste can include Power, Heat, Water, Nutrients, Carbon Dioxide Each one of these bi-products can be utilised within a sustainable urban delta to help grow healthy local food, and excess energy, water, and nutrients can be channeled to allied businesses to close resource loops and develop sustainable commercial and community precincts.  Award-winning Melbourne company Enesys has developed packaged technologies, intelligent software and business models to revolutionise how the future of waste, power generation, and agriculture could look in the very near future. In 2020 Enesys will be embarking on a very exciting demonstration project to showcase how...

Collaborating with Priva to Help Create Sustainable Urban Deltas.

November 2019 We have just returned from a wonderful trip to The Netherlands. The Netherlands is probably one of our favorite countries.

Priva is the leading climate control company in the world. The team at Priva is totally committed to helping the world do things differently and to create a vision for Sustainable Urban Deltas. We were invited to Priva to discuss how our technology could integrate with theirs to bring Waste to Energy to Growing to life, especially within Sustainable Urban Deltas. We sat with Priva for three days and had some wonderful discussions that ended with an agreement to work together where we can to bring clean energy solutions to growers and sustainable precinct developers. CEO of Priva MEiny Prins is a wonderful person and a true passionate visionary for how ...

Verti Farm Nethlands 2019

VertiFarm 2019 OCTOBER 2019  This is where Enesys founder John Norwood is right now. The first International workshop on vertical farming, taking place at Wageningen University in The Netherlands.  Industry leaders and academics are gathering to discuss all things vertical farming, from lighting, climate control, and automation to crop responses.  Vertical farms offer so many solutions to help our future food crisis. They can be built within cities, in unused resources such as underutilised buildings or car parks. Being close to the city, vertical farms drastically reduce our food miles. The food produced is safe, has consistent quality and is unaffected by outside climate and extreme weather conditions. One of the greatest benefits is that hundreds of liters of water are conserved compared with conventional farming methods and the necessity to use pesticides and herbicides is dramatically reduced. However, o ne of the greatest challenges for verti...
