The new millennium has witnessed a revolution in the waste management sector, which has moved away from 90% landfill, resulting in major carbon emissions problems. Millions of tonnes of residual waste now go into recycling and incineration (burnt) alternatives. While this is undoubtedly a good-news story, the industry reports a large capacity gap, needing more energy from waste facilities, (not without their own issues, for example burning plastic waste creates almost as much emissions as burning coal). For the UK to hit the net zero targets set by the Paris climate change agreement, multiple new approaches are required to add new capacity including using new carbon removal technology and releasing the stored energy in waste in an environmentally positive way, reducing the need for new fossil fuels.Standard Gas use a patented advanced thermal process to treat non-recyclable household, commercial and industrial waste. Our SG technology offers clean power, biogas, green hydrogen generation, carbon removal char and carbon removed from the atmosphere.This project relates to the carbon negative char material which is an output from our process. The accepted approach around the world is to bury it or use it as a soil conditioner. This is certainly one option, however in this project we will conduct evaluation of the char produced from a variety of feedstock materials to ascertain each sample's characteristics. We will evaluate different uses for the char, conducting market research and business case evaluation for applications where we blend the chars with asphalt, and concrete. Carbon capture analysis will be carried out to confirm the environmental benefits from these approaches. We have strong support from industry partners who will be involved in evaluations in the project. This research could dramatically strengthen the economics of our exciting technology, and so accelerate adoption.

新千年目睹了废物管理部门的一场革命，该部门已从90％的垃圾填埋场转移，导致了重大的碳排放问题。现在，数百万吨的残留废物进入了回收和焚化（烧伤）替代方案。尽管这无疑是一个新的故事，但该行业报告了巨大的容量差距，需要从废物设施中获得更多能量（并非没有自己的问题，例如燃烧塑料废物几乎产生的排放量与燃烧的煤炭一样多）。要使英国达到巴黎气候变化协议设定的净零目标，需要多种新方法来增加新的能力，包括使用新的碳去除技术并以环境积极的方式释放储存的能源，从而减少了新的需求化石燃料。标准气体使用获得专利的高级热过程来治疗非回收家庭，商业和工业废物。我们的SG技术提供了清洁能源，沼气，绿色氢的产生，清除碳炭和从大气中取出的碳。该项目与我们工艺的输出相关的碳负炭材料。世界各地公认的方法是将其埋葬或将其用作土壤调节剂。这当然是一种选择，但是在这个项目中，我们将对从各种原料材料产生的炭进行评估，以确定每个样本的特征。我们将评估CHAR的不同用途，对我们将chars与沥青和混凝土混合的应用进行市场研究和业务案例评估。将进行碳捕获分析，以确认这些方法的环境益处。我们得到了行业合作伙伴的大力支持，他们将参与该项目的评估。这项研究可以极大地加强我们激动人心的技术的经济学，因此可以加速采用。
