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 we can do things very differently. More details shortly. 




THERE ARE MANY PROBLEMS TO SOLVE

1.WASTE
Australia is facing a waste crisis. In 2019 Australians spent $10.1 billion on food that ended up in our bins and landfill Methane from organic waste in landfills is 21 times worse than carbon dioxide in its global warming potential. 
2. ENERGY
Time to move away from reliance on Fossil Fuels. The cost of energy is expected to increase by 2% per annum and the cost of our reliance on coal is creating havoc on our environment. 
3. GROWING
Current agricultural practices account for a significant footprint on the environment with agriculture contributing to approximately 11% of total greenhouse gases, occupying 40% of the earth's surface and utilise 70% of global water.
How will we sustainably feed an ever-increasing population? 

THERE HAS TO BE A BETTER WAY

We believe we can harness synergies that exist within nature and link proved industrial technologies to create innovative and profitable closed-loop systems that recycle waste, create energy, and grow food more efficiently and sustainably.
Our mission is to change how waste, energy, and food are processed to reduce reliance on remote fossil-fuelled power stations, broadacre farms, and large landfill or waste export operations. Sustainable precincts can exist within urban areas so that communities and industry can recycle their own waste, create their own energy and feed themselves.
Enesys can physically and economically link separated industries in a way that does not disrupt core business operations, proven technologies, workplace practices, corporate, or financial relationships. 








WE CAN BENEFIT FROM EACHOTHERS WASTE STREAMS

Enesys Waste to Energy to Growing (WEG) systems can reverse the detrimental environmental effects of conventional energy production, waste management, and growing systems. We can reduce carbon footprints of conventional protected cropping systems such as greenhouses and high-density vertical farms. 
GROWERS BENEFIT FROM:
  • INCREASED GROWING PRODUCTIVITY AND PROFIT
  • REDUCTION IN WATER USE
  • REDUCTION IN ON-SITE WASTE
  • ACCESS TO RECYCLED CARBON DIOXIDE
  • ACCESS TO HEAT AND NUTRIENTS
  • NO NEED FOR PESTICIDES AND HERBICIDES
  • REDUCED FOOD MILES
  • REDUCTION IN CARBON EMISSION
PRECINCT PARTNERS BENEFIT FROM:
  • CLEAN AFFORDABLE ENERGY
  • REDUCTION IN WASTE
  • ACCESS TO EXCESS RECYCLED WASTEWATER AND HEAT
  • NEW BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES




 Enesys can physically link process resources with high‐level control, automation, and data services that are typical in large industries like power, mining, and petrochemical, to community and regional level businesses like waste recyclers, manufacturers, growers, packagers and, councils. This level of process linking, automation, and data management is typically only available to highly specialised and funded multinational organisations in power generation and petrochemical environments.

Guest Lecture at Western Sydney University- What it takes to grow 10grams of basil

OCT 2019  Enesys founder, John Norwood today had the honor of being invited to give a guest lecture to the students of Sustainable Agriculture at Western Sydney University. John focused on what it takes to grow 10 grams of basil across broadacre farming, traditional greenhouses, and a vertical farm. He undertook significant modeling to determine the outcome. Vertical farming due to its energy footprint was by far the worst way to grow 10grams of basil This is John's model demonstrating the impact of growing basil in a Vertical Farm From the human consumption of 10 grams of basil, this model travels backward identifying the emissions of carbon dioxide (equivalent) generated by the useful and wasted streams of basil all the way to the grower… The size of the clouds are a visual indicator of scale. Check out the large brown cloud at the top…!!!   Clouds associated with transport and waste decay are small in comparison….      Th...

Learning from the Dutch in what it takes to create true Circular Economies

October 2019 Learning from the Dutch in what it takes to create actual Circular Economies Today we were invited to a Circular Economy Forum hosted by The Kingdom of The Netherlands and the Victorian State Government. We heard the Prime Minister of The Netherlands, Mark Rutte discuss the initiatives that have been undertaken by their country to ensure that only 3% of their waste goes to Landfill.  That's incredible!! They see all waste as a resource, and their garbage trucks carry the slogan "There is no such thing as Waste."   In 2016 the Dutch government launched a Circular Economy Programme that identifies five areas of priority to transition into a circular economy by 2050. These include biomass and food, plastics, manufacturing industry, the construction sector, and consumer goods.  Prime Minister Mark Rutte aims to collaborate and partner with Australia in bringing the Dutch experience to our government. Planet Ark and the Holland C...

Waste to Energy can power 2000 homes

Waste to Energy can power 2000 homes. Why would we not incorporate this into all our communities? Relocate waste away from landfills and create clean energy? Even better grow food with heat, Co2, and energy. Yarra Valley Water’s “ReWaste” energy plant has transformed more than 45,000 tonnes of food waste into 10,000MWh of clean energy, capable of powering 2000 homes, in the two years since it commenced operations. The plant has been regarded as thriving proof that waste to energy technology is the next big thing in tackling climate change, and similar technology could be used to manage different types of waste and landfill in the future as Melbourne’s population continues to grow.  https://www.energymagazine.com.au/waste-to-energy-plant-capable-of-powering-2000-homes
